Development of Task Performance Statements for a New Office and Business Education Learnings System (NOBELS). Final Report.
Lanham, Frank W.; And Others
The primary purpose of New Office and Business Education Learnings System (NOBELS) was the development of an inventory of 373 educational specifications in behavioral terms that represent basic tasks performed by 16- to 24-year-old office workers. In this revision, each of the 373 educational specifications has been reviewed and revised, incorporating a reclassification and reordering of task statements, coding of all statements, and a concordance of verbs and objects. Based on empiric data collected by interviewing 1,232 office employees and their supervisors from four areas of the country, the specifications were drawn from 4,564 basic tasks and 32,447 steps of task performance. Intended for the teacher and curriculum developer at the secondary and community college level, the current phase of NOBELS includes correlative studies of a "Taxonomy of Office Activities," the "Emergent Office," interaction critical incidents, office hardware, and a "Talent Inventory," in addition to the area data reports. Numerous tables present the data. (AG)
