Looking at Figures. Supervising: Technical Aspects of Supervision. The Choice Series #30. A Self Learning Opportunity.
Carr, Linda
This learning unit on looking at figures is one in the Choice Series, a self-learning development program for supervisors. Purpose stated for the approximately eight-hour-long unit is to enable the supervisor to understand information displayed in charts, tables, and graphs; produce charts, tables, and graphs from figures; compare different sets of figures using diagrams; and calculate measures to summarize a large amount of information. An introduction provides an overview of the unit and lists unit objectives. Parts A through C contain informative material, activities and answer keys, self-checks and answer keys, and a summary. Topics include communicating data, comparing data, and measuring data. Part D contains performance checks--an end check to be completed alone and a tutor check and work-based project. Part E consists of a brief unit review, extensions (print sources of additional information, such as units or sections in books), and a list of references. (YLB)
