This final report describes a research project to identify tasks actually performed by vocational-technical personnel in Texas. The primary objectives of the study were to differentiate tasks and subtasks from competencies identified in earlier studies and to determine the relative amount of time spent on each identified task in order to develop a competency-based education program for preparation of vocational-technical personnel. Methodology involved having a panel of experts to translate the competencies validated earlier into tasks and subtasks, then using appropriate questionnaire methodology to obtain data from a representative sample of vocational-technical teachers, administrators, and guidance personnel in the State. Complete findings of the study are presented in three separate volumes. This report describes planning and management considerations, the population, instrument development, data collection, and statistical analysis procedures, and also presents the summary and conclusions. Frequency tables present data concerning the number of respondents according to age categories and program area. (Author/NJ)
