Summary:
This dissertation deals with the development of curriculum materials for specialized secondary and post secondary distributive education. A competency pattern includes three elements: a basic theory, critical tasks in a selected job, and competencies required to perform these tasks. The theoretical framework for this study consists of 93 concepts and generalizations concerning marketing and economics along with a mission statement for the tourism-related industries in Florida. 195 structured interviews were held with the incumbent workers and their supervisors to determine the critical tasks which comprise the selected jobs. The competencies were drawn from the literature and from personal interviews with experts in these fields. The competencies have been grouped by industry and validated by an advisory committee representing each industry. The 9,144 competencies were analyzed to reveal: 3,024 - identical or highly similar to competencies identified in a previous study 1,736- common to one or more of the 24 jobs in this study and to one or more of the 76 jobs in the previous study 4,384 - unique to one job in this study. It would appear that the first two groups of competencies which relate to one or more of 100 distributive jobs could be integrated into most distributive education programs. The 4,384 competencies unique to one tourism-related job would be applicable only to distributive education programs in communities where jobs needing them are numerous.
