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