Data on the critical and distinctive skills necessary for those working in the Physics Teacher Education field from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Physics Teacher Education majors need many skills, but most especially Speaking. The revealed comparative advantage (RCA) shows that Physics Teacher Education majors need more than the average amount of Repairing, Equipment Maintenance, Equipment Selection, Troubleshooting, Management of Material Resources, Science, Management of Financial Resources, Operations Analysis, Mathematics, Learning Strategies, Speaking, Complex Problem Solving, Active Learning, Writing, Management of Personnel Resources, Technology Design, Instructing, Active Listening, Critical Thinking, Reading Comprehension, Monitoring, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Programming, Judgment and Decision Making, Service Orientation, Persuasion, Time Management, Social Perceptiveness, Coordination, Quality Control Analysis, Negotiation, Operation Monitoring, Operation and Control, and Installation.
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 Physics 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 Repairing is very distinctive for majors, but the Speaking, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Active Listening, Instructing, Learning Strategies, Active Learning, Critical Thinking, Monitoring, Complex Problem Solving, Judgment and Decision Making, Time Management, Social Perceptiveness, Science, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Coordination, Mathematics, Service Orientation, Management of Personnel Resources, Persuasion, Negotiation, Operations Analysis, Management of Material Resources, Management of Financial Resources, Quality Control Analysis, Operation Monitoring, Technology Design, Programming, Troubleshooting, Repairing, Equipment Maintenance, Equipment Selection, Operation and Control, and Installation are the three most important skills for people in the field.
