3. AI Pedagogical Competency Framework

The DUAL.AI.TEACHer Competency Framework is the result of a cross-analysis of the DigCompEdu, AI Pioneers and the UNESCO AI Framework for Teachers. Rather than creating new structures from scratch, existing frameworks that already address complementary dimensions for teachers’ professional competences in the age of AI were selected.

• The UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Teachers defines the foundational principles, values, knowledge, and critical skills that teachers should develop to understand the role of AI in education and to use it to enhance teaching and learning in an ethical, effective, safe, and responsible way.
• The DigCompEdu, providing a clear pedagogical structure for teachers’ professional activities, is useful for connecting AI-related competences to everyday teaching practice.
• The AI Pioneers extends DigCompEdu with AI-specific competences which makes it valuable to bridge digital-pedagogical competence with concrete AI-related teaching practices.
• The UDL & EntreComp provided complementary perspectives strengthening the inclusive, learner-centered dimension and contributing to the aspects of creativity & innovation.
