Basic Electronics Skills and Knowledge

Abstract

An analytical process for deriving skills and knowledges of an electronic maintenance MOS was developed. The process model that was developed assumes that the MOS is well documented. The process first identified all tasks performed on specifically designated equipment groups (end items) using a Task Identification Matrix (TIM). One fourth of the tasks performed on each item were selected, using various criteria, for detailed task element analysis. The task elements are validated prior to the detailed analysis. The purpose of the analysis is to identify behaviors and knowledges not possessed by the general population. The product of the analysis is an extensive list of behavior/ information statements that are used to construct a maintenance fundamentals job description questionnaire. This is then administered to a representative sample of job incumbents as a way of validating the list of job fundamentals. This information is then provided to course developers for their use in building training programs.
