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