ABSTRACTThis Occupational Competency Analysis Profile (OCAP)

contains a competency list verified by expert workers and developedthrough a modified DACUM (Developing a Curriculum) involvingbusiness, industry, labor, and community agency regresentatives fromOhio. This OCAP identifies the occupational, academic, andemployability skills (competencies) needed to enter criminal justiceoccupations. The competencies are clustered into 13 units that coverthe following topics: orientation; legal aspects; communicationskills; human relations skills; occupational and health safety;defensive tactics; patrol; investigation; traffic enforcement; civilemergencies; prisoner booking and handling; private security; andspecialized units. In addition, employability competencies aregrouped into 12 units: career development; decision making andproblem solving; work ethic; job-seeking skills; job retention andcareer advancement skills; technology in the workplace; lifelonglearning; economic education; balancing work and family; citizenshipin the workplace; leadership; and entrepreneurship. The units detailthe knowledge, skills, and attitudes (competency builders) needed toperform each competency. Within the competency list are two levels ofitems, core items essential for entry-level employment, and itemsneeded to advance in criminal justice occupations.

How is the OCAP usedZii)

Introduction

Introduction

What is an OCAP?

According to the Action Plan for Accelerating the Modernization of Vocational Education: Ohio's Futureat Work

A comprehensive and verified employer competency list will be developed arid kept current for eachprogram

Imperative 3, Objective

The Occupational Competency Analysis Profiles (OCAPs) are the Ohio Division of Vocational and AdultEducation's response to that objective.

OCAPs are competency listsverified by expert workersthat evolve from a modified DACUM jobanalysis process involving business, industry, labor, and community agency representatives from throughoutOhio. The OCAP process is directed by the Vocational Instructional Materials Laboratory located at The OhioState University's Center on Education and Training for Employment:

Each OCAP identifies the occupational, academic, and employability skills (or competencies) needed to entera given occupation or occupational area. The OCAP not only lists the competencies but also clusters thosecompetencies into broader units and details the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (competency builders) neededto perform each competency.

Within the competency list are two levels of items: core and advancing. Core items, which arc essential forentry-level employment, are required to be taught and are the basis for questions on the Ohio VocationalCompetency Assessment (OVCA). Advancing items (marked with an asterisk) are those needed to advancein a given occupation.

School districts may add as many units, competencies, and/or competency builders as desired to reflect localemployment needs, trends, and specialties. Local advisory committees should be actively involved in theidentification and verification of additional items. Vocational and applied academic instructors will be ableto formulate their courses of study using the varied contents of the OCAP and will be able to monitorcompetency gains via the new criterion-referenced competency testing program, which is tied to thecompetencies identified on the OCAP.

Academic Job Profile: Purpose

The Purpose of Job ProfilingDeveloped by American College Testing (ACT),the purpose of the Job Profiling process is toidentify the level of applied academic skills that,according to business and industry, students mustmaster to qualify for and be successful in theiroccupation of choice. The results of Job Profile"leveling" can help teachers to better targetinstruction toward their students' needs.

As part of the Ohio Vocational CompetencyAssessment (OVCA) program, the VocationalInstructional Materials Laboratory (VIML) at TheOhio State University has conducted Job Profilingworkshops in which representatives of business,industry, labor, and community organizationsidentified the academic skill levels needed byentry-level workers in the occupational areascovered by the OCAPs. The Job Profiling, whichwas carried out in spring 1994 and spring 1995,was sponsored by the Ohio Department of Educa-tion. Division of Vocational and Adult Education.

OVCAWhat Is It?

The Ohio Vocational Competency Assessment(or OVCA ) package consists of two assessmentcomponents: OCAP and Work Keys. Togetherthey measure entry-level occupational, academic,and employability skills. All OVCA items arecriterion-referenced, use a multiple-choice for-mat. and are administered using a traditionalpaper-and-pencil method. The OVCA is designedto do the following:

Provide one dimension of a multi-assessmentstrategy for career passport credentialingEvaluate learner readiness for jobs requiringspecific occupational, academic, and employ-ability skillsAssist educators in curriculum developmentProvide state-aggregated learning gain scoresto comply with the regulations in the Carl I).Perkins Vocational and Applied TechnologyAct of 1990

OCAP. The OCAP component of OVCA assessesstudents in occupational skillsemploymentrequirementsin a particular occupational area.Assessment is based on the core competenciesidentified through the OCAP process, and eachmultiple-choice assessment item is correlated tothose essential competencies.

Work Keys. The Work Keys component, devel-oped by ACT, measures students' applied aca-demic skills. All OVCA packages contain twoWork Keys assessments:

Applied Mathematics measures students' abil-ity to analyze, set up, and solve math problemstypically found in the workplace.Locating Information measures students'ability to use graphic documents to insert, ex-tract, and apply information.

In addition, certain taxonomies will use the follow-ing Work Keys assessments:

Reading for Information will be used by Busi-ness, Marketing, Home Economics. HealthEducation, and Cosmetology taxonomies.Applied Technology will be used by Trade andIndustrial and Agricultural Education taxono-mieN.

Other optional Work Keys assessments. notincluded in the basic OVCA package, are Team-work. Listening, and Writing.

Each Work Keys assessment is further brokendown into four to five levels of achievement, withhigher numbers indicating higher achievement inthe assessed skill (descriptions of the levels foreach Work Keys assessment are provided onpp. 31-37). For each academic skill, the Job Pro-filing process identifies the level required for suc-cessful entry into an occupational area.

Academic Job Profile: Purpose

Job ProfilingHow It Works

VIML's Job Profiling process was initiated bymailing surveys to current workers in OCAPoccupations all across Ohio. The survey's purpose:to have actual workers in specific occupations ratejob tasks according to each task's frequency andcriticalitythat is, the amount of time spent per-forming each task relative to other tasks and theimportance of each task to overall job perfor-mance.

To complete the survey, participants examinedOCAP cornpetencies for their occupation. Basedon the survey's results, VIML staff produced a listof the most critical competencies in each occupa-tion.

The next stage of Job Profiling was to convenecommittees of subject-matter experts to perform"leveling," which involved the following tasks:

Examining the frequency and criticality compe-tency lists for an occupationReviewing the levels associated with each of theseven Work Keys academic skills: LocatingInformation, Reading for Information, AppliedMathematics, Applied Technology, Listening,Writing, and TeamworkIdentifying the level of skill students mustmaster relative to each Work Keys academicskill in order to successfully perform the occupa-tional competencies

Finally, in 1995, the initial leveling of Work Keysacademic skills for the occupational area coveredby this OCAP was revalidated by the new panel ofexpert workers convened to update the OCAP (seeinside back cover).

Example of Job Profiling

For every occupational area, there are shaded graphsto represent each of the seven Work Keys aca-demic skills. Each graph shows the range of levelsfor that particular skill; the shading represents theacademic skill level required by an entry-levelworker in that occupation, as determined by theJob Profiling committee. For example:

AppliedMathematics

In the example shown, Applied Mathematics hasa skill range of 3-7. The required skill level,determined by Job Profiling and shown by thehighlighting, is 6.

Academic Job Profile: Work Key Levels

Levels of Work Keys Defined

The skills needed to achieve each level for each of the seven Work Keys* academic skills are as follows.

Applied Mathematics

Applied Mathematics mesuresskill in applying mathematicalreasoning to work-related prob-lems. There are five levels of com-plexity, 3 through 7, with Level 3being the least complex and Level7 the most complex. The levelsbuild on each other, each incorpo-rating the skills at the precedinglevels.

Level 3Perform basic mathematical operations (addition, subtraction, multi-plication, and division) and conversions from one form to another,using whole numbers, fractions, decimals, or percentages.Translate simple verbal problems into mathematical equations.Directly apply logical information provided to solve problems, in-cluding those with measurements and dollars and cents.

Level 4Perform one or two mathematical operations (such as addition,subtraction, or multiplication) on several positive or negative num-bers. (Division of negative numbers is not covered until Level 5.)Add commonly known fractions, decimals, or percentages (e.g., 1/2,.75, 25%) or add three fractions that share a common denominator.Calculate averages, simple ratios, proportions, and rates, using wholenumbers and decimals.Reorder verbal information before performing calculations.Read simple charts or graphs to obtain information needed to solve aproblem.

Level 5Look up and calculate single-step conversions within English ornon-English measurement systems (e.g., converting ounces to poundsor centimeters to meters) or between measurement systems (e.g.,converting centimeters to inches).Make calculations using mixed units (e.g., hours and minutes).Determine what information, calculations, and unit conversions areneeded to find a solution.

Level 6Calculate using negative numbers, fractions, ratios, percentages,mixed numbers, and formulas.Identify and correct errors in calculations.Translate complex verbal problems into mathematical expressions,using considerable setup and multiple-step calculations or conver-sions.

Level 7Solve problems requiring multiple steps of logic and calculation.Solve problems involving more than one unknown, nonlinear func-tions (e.g., rate of change), and applications of basic statisticalconcepts (e.g., error of measurement).Locate errors in multiple-step calculations.Solve problems with unusual content or format, or with incomplete orimplicit information.

Three products of the Ohio Department of Education. Division of Curriculum, Instruction, and ProfessionalDevelopment, describe the academic skills that should be possessed by each student at the end of each gradelevel:

Model Competency-Based Language Arts Progrwn

Model Competency-Based Mathematics Program

Model Competency-Based Science Program

The following lists were derived from the academic competencies delineated for Grades 9-12 in thesedocuments. Although the competencies are listed separately by grade level in the original documents, thelevels were combinedand in some cases refinedfor OCAP purposes, any overlap was eliminated, and anumbering system was imposed for ease of reference.

During the course of the OCAP workshops, each of the representatives from business, industry, labor, andcommunity-based organizations was given a copy of these lists of academic competencies and instructed tocircle the competencies that an entry-level employee should possess. The results from each panel were talliedto identify those required academic competencies most crucial to entry level in each specific occupationalarea. The results for this OCAP are presented on pp. 55-56.
