The aim of this research is to develop an ICT-based on social and emotional competencies assessment that is practical and effective. The on line assessment application model that is developed in this study is an online assessment that utilizes information and communication technology with social-emotional assessment applications (Si Emo®). ICT-based assessment is an online assessment application based on information and communication technology. The online assessment development process includes the preparation of social-emotional assessments offline, then includes assessments to the server to be used online. The availability of supporting technology (both hardware and software) and readiness of human resources (HR) are needed for the development of this assessment. This study is a type of R & D (Research and Development) approach with a guideline development model. This research was conducted in PAUD institutions which involved early childhood educators in Jakarta. Data collection techniques were conducted through observation, interviews, and questionnaires. Data analysis techniques were carried out with descriptive analysis. The product feasibility testing stage was validated by experts, whereas alpha and beta tests was conducted by early childhood educators. The results obtained from this study are a set of social and emotional assessments application (Si Emo). The results showed that Si Emo application is valid, reliable and useful to assess children's social and emotional competency. The implication of this research can be used as one of solutions for early childhood educators in assessing social-emotional aspects of children's development.
