Meta-DACUM Methodology
By consolidating validated results from multiple
DACUM analyses for a single occupation taken at various USA locations, we can identify a comprehensive list of competencies.

Methodology – How to Go From Lists to Curriculum? • Start with GTCM structure:
▫ 5 Tiers compiled by experts from Industry, vetted by workforce across nation and approved by Dept of Labor
• Compile a MetaDACUM: ▫ Long lists of skills & competencies from “expert
workers”
• Compile Model Course Outlines: ▫ Expert Geospatial Educator Panels: Take long “lists” of competencies and determined
courses, descriptions and Student Learning Outcomes Parse list of competencies by depth into model
courses Choose the courses that should be included in a Model
Certificate program

Educator Panels - A New Content Tool Created • A new Excel Workbook with 4 worksheets
tabs was created including:
▫ An Assessment Worksheet tab with the 320 competencies sorted into 8 categories
▫ A column was added for each of the courses where educators could enter a value of 0 to 4 for each competency

Potential Benefits of National Guidelines - Models
• Alignment of local curriculum with nationally recognized standard
• Foster articulation between education silos
• Pre-, Post- or Self-test for students, industry
• Help identify gaps or weaknesses or strength of a geospatial program
• Be the basis for future certification efforts, such as the GISP or “Badges” = Micro-Credentials
