q1 i? Few countries have defined the competencies teachers need in the AI era or developed national programmes to train teachers in AI, leaving many educators without proper guidance. → Miao 2024

Evidence¶

Miao 2024¶

Miao, Fengchun; Cukurova, Mutlu. (2024). AI competency framework for teachers. UNESCO. https://www.unesco.org/en/articles/ai-competency-framework-teachers doi:10.54675/zjte2084

q1 · i? · theoretical · r2

The publication states, without citing supporting data, that few countries have defined teacher AI competencies or developed national AI training programmes, leaving many educators without proper guidance. This gap motivates the framework.

"Yet, few countries have defined these competencies or developed national programmes to train teachers in AI, leaving many educators without proper guidance."

• Institutional AI adoption is uneven, with partial adoption, incomplete policy development and uncertainty in high-stakes contexts — related
• A review of 13 recent AI literacy frameworks found most lack explicit scaffolded progression and are context-bound — related
