q2 i? Across 42 educator frameworks, the most frequent categories were teaching, learning, and pedagogy (n = 38), empowering learners (n = 25), curriculum and assessment (n = 25), and professional development (n = 8); information and data literacy (n = 31) and technology literacy (n = 28) were the key competencies. → Zemin Guo 2026

q2 · i? · review · r2

Frequency analysis across 42 educator-focused frameworks (Fig. 3). The review concludes educator frameworks are "more diverse and systemic, with element categories distributed more evenly" than student-focused ones, citing pedagogy (n = 38) versus sporadic online-learning references (n = 4) in student frameworks.

"These expectations were reflected in frequently mentioned categories, as shown in Fig. 3, such as teaching, learning, and pedagogy (n = 38), empowering learners (n = 25), curriculum and assessment (n = 25), and professional development (n = 8)."
