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 Teaching Assistants & Aides 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 Instructing is very distinctive for majors, but the Instructing, Speaking, Reading Comprehension, Learning Strategies, Active Listening, Writing, Monitoring, Social Perceptiveness, Critical Thinking, Active Learning, Time Management, Service Orientation, Coordination, Judgment and Decision Making, Negotiation, Complex Problem Solving, Persuasion, Systems Analysis, Systems Evaluation, Management of Personnel Resources, Mathematics, Technology Design, Operation Monitoring, Science, Operations Analysis, Programming, Quality Control Analysis, Management of Financial Resources, Management of Material Resources, Equipment Selection, Installation, Operation and Control, Equipment Maintenance, Troubleshooting, and Repairing are the three most important skills for people in the field.
