3.4 DUAL.AI.TEACHer Learning Objectives

For each of the eighteen competencies identified, a set of specific learning objectives has been defined in order to translate the competency into concrete and practical outcomes. These learning objectives specify the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that teachers are expected to develop to achieve the corresponding competency, providing a more detailed and practical description of what mastering that competency entails in practice. 

By breaking down each competency into clearly defined learning objectives at different levels, the DUAL.AI.TEACHer Framework facilitates its practical application in professional development, training design, and self-assessment, offering educators a concrete blueprint for progressively building and demonstrating their AI-related competencies
