Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Computer Teacher Education field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Computer Teacher Education majors need many skills, but most especially Speaking. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Computer Teacher Education majors need more than the average amount of Programming, Technology Design, Management of Material Resources, Systems Analysis, Complex Problem Solving, Learning Strategies, Systems Evaluation, Instructing, Social Perceptiveness, Speaking, Operations Analysis, Monitoring, Writing, Active Learning, Reading Comprehension, Negotiation, Service Orientation, Management of Financial Resources, Active Listening, Management of Personnel Resources, Critical Thinking, Judgment and Decision Making, Time Management, Mathematics, Persuasion, Coordination, Science, Operation and Control, Equipment Selection, Quality Control Analysis, Equipment Maintenance, Operation Monitoring, Troubleshooting, Installation, and Repairing.
These two visualizations, one a radial chart and one a bar chart, show the same information, a rating of how necessary the following skills are for Computer Teacher Education majors. Toggle between "value" and "RCA" to see the absolute rating of that skill (value) and the revealed comparative advantage (RCA), or how much greater or lesser that skill's rating is than the average. The longer the bar or the closer the line comes to the circumference of the circle, the more important that skill is. The importance of Programming is very distinctive for majors, but the Speaking, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Instructing, Active Listening, Learning Strategies, Active Learning, Critical Thinking, Monitoring, Complex Problem Solving, Judgment and Decision Making, Social Perceptiveness, Time Management, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Service Orientation, Coordination, Persuasion, Negotiation, Management of Personnel Resources, Mathematics, Operations Analysis, Science, Programming, Management of Material Resources, Technology Design, Management of Financial Resources, Quality Control Analysis, Operation Monitoring, Operation and Control, Equipment Selection, Equipment Maintenance, Troubleshooting, Installation, and Repairing are the three most important skills for people in the field.
