A Study of Job Demands and Curriculum Development in Agricultural Training Related to the Muskegon County Wastewater Management System. Final Report. Volume I. An Overview of the Research Project.
Fisher, Harold S.; And Others
This volume is one of a four-volume final report of a research project developed to identify the jobs and training needs for the area of wastewater land treatment systems and related agricultural occupations. The overall purpose of the project is presented in terms of its six subobjectives: (1) To identify the agricultural occupations related to the Muskegon County Wastewater Management System (MCWMS) and determine job needs, (2) to perform a task analysis on each of the identified agricultural occupations related to the MCWMS, (3) to write student terminal performance objectives and develop modules of instruction, (4) to explore the possibilities of utilizing the MCWMS as an educational tool, (5) to develop student awareness information, and (6) to implement an articulated curriculum with actual programs. Overall findings presented showed that nationwide employment of individuals working in conventional wastewater treatment systems as well as modern systems is expected to rise rapidly through the mid-1980's and that there is a need for student modules of instruction for the agricultural occupations. Appendixes constitute the majority of the document. Major appendixes are titled Task Analysis Survey Instruments, Selected Pages (9 pages), A Sample of the Format Used for Writing Student Terminal Performance Objectives and Instructional Modules (12 pages), An Explanation of the Components in the Instructional Modules (2 pages), Bibliography of Documents Reviewed and Used for the Project (11 pages), Survey Question and Results Concerning Using the MCWMS as an Educational Tool (5 pages), and A Discussion of Possibilities and Approaches for Implementing Vocational and Technical Agricultural Programs in Career Education Banning District #21 (14 pages).
