Abstract
Indigenous knowledge-indigenous vegetable knowledge is fragile to lose with several reasons, but it pays
important roles in food and income earning for local. Human capital (HC) measurement would be a part
of human capital processes to determine the level of HC. This study aims to propose an indigenous
knowledge human capital measurement framework and tools to monitor the HC in young generation. The
framework for indigenous knowledge human capital measurement is different from frameworks used to
measure HC under organizational and human resource department contexts. The framework comprises
four elements to be measured—formal HC (HC processes and learning resources), tacit HC (knowledge,
skills and experience), behavior HC and values of HC (attitudes to the purposes and benefits of the HC).
The framework was transferred into tools for measuring. There were two questionnaires to use with
elementary students and their parents. The in-depth interview session will be used to evaluate the values of
HC with the students, and a learning resource checking list to evaluate a part of formal HC. The study has been conducted with design science research in order to design the framework and tools, and to evaluate
the tools. The questionnaires were evaluated with reliability test by using Cronbach’ alpha coefficient with the results at 0.3 to 0.97. The study was taken place with the elementary school students at Yangdaeng
School in Sanamchaikate district, Chacheonsao province in eastern region of Thailand, their parents and their teachers.
