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