GTCM Model Program Content Tool (w/ Rankings)

This worksheet is designed to help educators participating in the GTCM Course Workshops identify what skills and competencies should be included in a curriculum for entry level geospatial programs (Technician/Technologist) based on the Meta-DACUM outcome and the Department of Labor's Geospatial Technology Competency Model (GTCM). This spreadsheet contains the RESULTS of previous GTCM workshops and represents a CONSENUS value that each competency should be covered in similar courses. Matrix rows list key competencies and critical work functions identified by the Meta-DACUM expressed in a modified Bloom's taxonomy format.  Columns represent the array of courses and other formal educational experiences included in a Model geospatial curriculum.  Educators can enter the value (based on scale of 0 to 4) representing whether that compency should be included or not included in a specific course.  No course or program will address all competencies.  Last updated January 29, 2012.
