Description

OmniEdu organizes education-specific supervision around four complementary capability categories defined "according to the behaviors to be learned" rather than by source or subject. Subject competence covers solving K-12 problems and explaining answers across mathematics, science, reading, and writing; curriculum grounding captures grade-level alignment, knowledge points, prerequisite relations, and difficulty; diagnostic reasoning targets identifying errors and misconceptions and inferring missing prerequisites; pedagogical action and scaffolding covers selecting and executing interventions such as hints, questions, prerequisite review, or direct explanation. The taxonomy provides a common language for both data construction and evaluation.
