DACUM and OPM

 

• DACUM (Developing A Curriculum):

  • A structured process for job analysis that involves expert workers in identifying the duties and tasks required for a job.
  • Often used to create competency-based curricula for education and training programs.

• OPM (Occupational Profile Model):

• A framework for describing job roles and competencies.
• Helps in identifying skills, knowledge, and attributes needed for a particular occupation.

Both DACUM and OPM are methods used for job analysis and curriculum development, especially in vocational education and competency-based training.

DACUM (Developing A Curriculum)

DACUM is a systematic job analysis method that gathers input from expert workers to define the competencies required for a specific occupation. It helps in:
 Identifying job duties and tasks.
 Developing competency-based curricula.
 Designing training programs based on real industry needs.

OPM (Occupational Profile Model)

OPM is used to define job roles and required competencies for a specific occupation. It is useful for:
 Structuring occupational standards.
 Mapping skills and knowledge needed in a profession.
 Guiding curriculum and training development.

In the context of AI-era competencies for future elementary school teachers in Indonesia, DACUM and OPM could help define the essential skills teachers need, such as:
 Digital literacy
 AI-assisted teaching strategies
 Problem-solving and critical thinking skills
