A Project to Develop Performance Based Instruction through Task Analysis and In-Service Programs. Final Report.

The primary purposes of this project were to develop catalogs of performance objectives and performance guides based upon validated tasks performed by incumbent workers and to disseminate and diffuse catalogs through inservice activities. The five catalogs developed were based upon tasks performed in the occupations of banking clerk, diesel mechanic, general house worker, meat cutter, and retail credit manager. All catalogs were developed utilizing the Vocational-Technical Education Consortium of States (V-TECS) uniform model. (The model is included in the appendices.) Another purpose of the project was to provide for the dissemination and diffusion of V-TECS Catalogs. Dissemination and diffusion activities were carried out utilizing the V-TECS Coordinator, a full time V-TECS inservice coordinator, and a slide/tape presentation designed for this purpose. (The narrator's script for the presentation is included in the appendices.) (Author/JH)
