AI Competencies for Teachers:Teacher Preparing for the AI Era——Analysis Based on UNESCO's"AI CFT"Framework and Seven Policy Texts
Teachers are the core participants and practitioners in the intelligent transformation of education,and their roles in teaching are irreplaceable.Therefore,there is an urgent need to develop a comprehensive artificial intelligence(AI)competency framework for teachers to give full play to teachers'initiatives in the era of rapid AI development.In September 2023,UNESCO released a draft of the"UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Teachers",which proposes six domains of AI competencies for teachers(AI mindset,ethics of AI,AI foundations,AI pedagogy,AI tools,AI for professional devel-opment),and eighteen specific competencies at three advanced levels(understanding,applying,and creating),aiming to adopt such an inclusive framework to guide teachers,teaching communities and teacher education systems everywhere in the development of teachers'knowledge,skills,attitudes,values and motivation related to the application of AI,and in the management of the risks and threats that may arise from the application of AI.
