A DACUM (Developing a Curriculum) task analysis for the position of Chief Continuing Education Administrator was developed in June 1988. A panel of 11 chief continuing education administrators from Ohio produced a DACUM chart of 123 tasks and traits they felt best described them and what they do in performing their duties. They also developed a definition for the duties of the chief continuing education administrator. The tasks and traits were grouped into these general areas of competence: administering a continuing education division, developing and managing a divisional budget, participating in institutional processes and coordinating educational programs, program development, program operations, program follow-up, providing student services, promoting community outreach and access, demonstrating professional attributes, and developing professionally. A larger sampling of chief continuing education administrators then was surveyed, with 33 surveys returned. These administrators rated and ranked the tasks in order of importance, and the results were plotted on a matrix. Tasks most important to the continuing education operation were listed and categorized as those personally performed and those delegated to others. The DACUM task analysis initially developed by the 11 administrators was validated as an accurate occupational task list, the definition was verified, and professional workshops were recommended.
