Based on the need to develop an outline of the procedures and methods used in vocational education in Florida, which would then form the basis for communication, discussion, and development of a multi-State consortium for the production of performance objectives and criterion measures for occupational education, this report, one of five under a project to develop a multi-State consortium, reviewed four projects (developed in cooperation with the Florida Educational Research and Development Program) designed to develop pre-objectives, performance objectives, and criterion-referenced measuring devices. (The projects studied were (1) Automotive Mechanics Assessments, (2) Producing Assessment Instruments in Ornamental Horticulture, (3) Employability Skills Projects, and (4) Typewriting Communications.) This report is divided into three parts: Part 1 is an introductory and procedural presentation, part 2, the text of the report, is an informational outline of the procedures and methods used by the Florida Research and Development Program to develop performance objectives and criterion-referenced measures in occupational education. The third or final part includes the appendixes related to the further development of a multi-State consortium. (HD)
