The Industrial Revolution
• Education, training and testing for the last century– Industrialized education for industry• One size fits all• Moderate skill level for 30 years of industry
Next Revolution
• Not just the digital age for education – New methods for training and testing
• Breaks the classroom model– Technology– Analysis
• Target what we need to do and know– Half life – Workers stay 3-5 years, not 30
Glimpse of the Future
• K-12 & college online• Homeschooling
• Evidence Centered Design• Diagnostic Testing
• Quality Standards: ANSI 17024/2659• Quality Content: Analysis Methods
A Process Approach
• Identify and analyze the job– Lawn mowing – other home maintenance activities?
• Blueprint for training/certification• Develop requirement training/certification• Develop/deliver training/certificate• Develop/deliver assessment/certification• Accredit certification program
Audience
• Need to clearly define who the research audience is.
• Helps to identify subject matter experts who participate in the JTA process.
• Outcome of the JTA process is valid for the studied audience.
Job Task Analysis
• Job - series of tasks.
• Task - an action designed to contribute a specified end result to the accomplishment of an objective.
Job Task Analysis• Defines a job in terms of:– Knowledge– Skills– Abilities
• Necessary to perform daily tasks. • Structured framework that deconstruct a job• Resulting in a report describing a job:– Independent of location – Across a specified group of people – Detailed list of all the tasks
Focus Group JTA Framework
• Facilitated workshop• Typically around 10-15 experts• Approximately 2.5-3 days• Systematically identify information about the
job• Validation of outcome through survey of the
larger professional community

(Body of Knowledge)
Job Analysis
• Answers the question– “What must the person be able to do?”
• A job/task analysis (JTA) will help us answer the question
• Breaks the job down into specific duties and tasks to be performed

The Completed JTA
• Used to answer the question: – “How well must the worker be able to complete
the job requirements (performance standards)?”• More than KSA (still important)• The ability to ‘do’ a task
• Competent/expert workers provide input to set standards
Training & Certification
Training•Driver’s Training
•Sear•E-way•etc
Certification•State motor vehicle administration
Validation•Written•Performance

JTA Results
Training and Certificates
• Use JTA as origin to build training• Can build KSA training– Communicate benefits of patterns– Explain what objects may constitute danger
• Strength is in development of task driven training– Training someone to do the work – The way expert workers conduct the work– Ex: Show participants how to check oil level
Assessment and Certification
• Use JTA as origin to build assessment• Knowledge & skills based assessments– What constitutes dangerous objects?
• Performance assessment– Check the gas level– Check the oil
Break out: Assessment
• How do you know someone can do the job?• Performance• Knowledge• Skills
• Outline Assessment Ideas
Accreditation
• Outside body assessing quality of a program– Training and testing standards
• Quality review: development & maintenance • Accreditation is voluntary oversight– Similar in spirit to university accreditation
National Curriculum Standards Process1. Define audience
2. Conduct Job Task Analysis3. Create competency framework4. Identify competencies5. Identify sub competencies6. Create curriculum framework7. Map existing courses to curriculum framework8. Conduct content area-course gap analysis9. Depth analysis10. Course alignment with JTAs11. Course content review12. Course development/redevelopment
Agreement
• Its not the only way• It’s one of the acceptable methods & • the community has agreement
