Abstract	A study was conducted to enhance basic knowledge concerning the activities and needs of curriculum developers with emphasis on those relating to vocational education. More than 300 persons actively involved in curriculum development in public education, business and industry, and government responded to a questionnaire based upon a list of 68 curriculum development activities in five categories: (1) Curriculum management and administration, (2) selection and organization of content, (3) selection and organization of materials, (4) design of instructional plan and alternative strategies, and (5) evaluation of curriculum. Ratings were given for the degree of problem/need encountered in the performance of each activity, and the relative importance of each to the respondent's job. In addition, background data were obtained from each respondent. In analyzing the data, the importance and problem/need ratings provided by respondents were combined to produce a summary "criticality" score for each activity. For the respondent group taken as a whole, the most critical activities were found to be in the categories of curriculum management and administration, content selection and organization, and evaluation. Eight groups of related activities were also identified, with differing criticalities for curriculum developers in local, state, and national R & D lab situations. (Author/HD)
