Product Requirements Document (PRD) — K-12 STEM & AI Competency Framework Hierarchy

1. Overview & Goal

The goal of this feature is to introduce a comprehensive, multi-tiered Competency Framework Hierarchy for K-12 STEM and AI Education into the EduOne platform. Learners and educators need a structured, granular roadmap that goes beyond standard skill lists, establishing clear progression paths.

This framework decomposes high-level educational domains down to concrete, testable behaviors (Indicators) and sets rubrics to measure student performance objectively.


2. Framework Architecture

The competency model uses a strict 6-tier hierarchical structure:

[Domain] ➔ [Competency Area] ➔ [Competency] ➔ [Skill] ➔ [Indicator] ➔ [Rubric (3 Levels)]

Hierarchy Definitions:

  1. Domain (Lĩnh vực Năng lực): Broad thematic fields defining the K-12 STEM/AI scope. There are exactly 6 Domains.
  2. Competency Area (Khu vực Năng lực): Specific focus divisions within a Domain.
  3. Competency (Năng lực Thành phần): Particular capability dimensions of an area.
  4. Skill (Kỹ năng): Atomic, target-level assessable units.
  5. Indicator (Chỉ số Đánh giá): Concrete, observable behaviors demonstrating skill mastery. Each skill has exactly 5 indicators.
  6. Rubric (Tiêu chí Đánh giá): A 3-tier measurement rubric corresponding to each indicator:
    • Level 1 (Novice / Sơ thảo): The student can recognize or perform the task with high guidance.
    • Level 2 (Proficient / Đạt yêu cầu): The student can execute the task independently in standard scenarios.
    • Level 3 (Advanced / Xuất sắc): The student demonstrates deep understanding, troubleshooting, or creative application.

3. The 6 K-12 STEM & AI Domains

To support comprehensive computer science and scientific literacy, the platform defines the following 6 domains:

  1. Computational Thinking (Tư duy Máy tính)
  2. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning (Trí tuệ Nhân tạo & Học máy)
  3. Data Science & Analytics (Khoa học & Phân tích Dữ liệu)
  4. Software Engineering & Programming (Kỹ thuật Phần mềm & Lập trình)
  5. Robotics & IoT (Rô-bốt & Internet Vạn vật)
  6. Mathematical Foundations for AI (Toán học Nền tảng cho AI)

4. UI/UX Functional Specifications

The student and teacher dashboard will feature a Competency Explorer component configured with:

  • Interactive Accordion Tree: Nested collapsible elements representing the 6-level hierarchy.
  • Mastery Overlay: Visual indicators showing the student's mastery percentage on each node.
  • Indicator & Rubric Drawer: Clicking an indicator displays a dedicated drawer with its 3-tier Vietnamese rubric.
  • STEM & AI Themes: Visual styling distinguishing the 6 domains using distinct colors and icons.
  • Vietnamese Localization: Full translation support for all Vietnamese school contexts.
