| 520 | |a To improve vocational educational programs in agriculture, occupational information on a common core of basic skills within the occupational area of the bulk fertilizer plant worker is presented in the revised task inventory survey. The purpose of the occupational survey was to identify a common core of basic skills which are performed and are essential for success in the occupation. Objectives were accomplished by constructing an initial task inventory to identify duty areas and task statements for the occupation. The initial task inventory was reviewed by consultants in the field, and 146 tasks were identified. A random sample of 75 bulk fertilizer plants based on the 1975 directory of the Ohio Grain, Feed, and Fertilizer Association was obtained. Data were collected utilizing employer and employee questionnaires. Thirty-three questionnaires were returned of which 24 were usable. A compilation of basic sample background information is presented on size of fertilizer plant, total work experience, employment at current job, and preparation as a bulk fertilizer plant worker. A compilation of duty areas of work performed and work essential for the occupation is given. Percentage performance by incumbent workers and the average level of importance of specific task statements are presented in tabular form. (Author/EC) | ||
