Abstract

Motivation: Developing competency in the broad area of bioinformatics is challenging globally, owing to the breadth of the field and the diversity of its audiences for education and training. Course design can be facilitated by the use of a competency framework-a set of competency requirements that define the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed by individuals in (or aspiring to be in) a particular profession or role. These competency requirements can help to define curricula as they can inform both the content and level to which competency needs to be developed. The International Society for Computational Biology (ISCB) developed a list of bioinformatics competencies in 2014, and these have undergone several rounds of improvement. In consultation with a broad bioinformatics training community, these have now been further refined and extended to include knowledge skills and attitudes, and mappings to previous and other existing competency frameworks.

Results: Here, we present version 3 of the ISCB competency framework. We describe how it was developed and how to access it, as well as providing some examples of how it has been used.

Availability and implementation: The framework is openly accessible at https://competency.ebi.ac.uk/framework/iscb/3.0/competencies.

ISCB能力框架v. 3：修订和扩展的生物信息学教育和培训标准。

动机：由于生物信息学领域的广泛性及其教育和培训对象的多样性，在全球范围内培养生物信息学领域的能力具有挑战性。能力框架是一套能力要求，它规定了从事（或希望从事）特定职业或角色的个人所需的知识、技能和态度。这些能力要求可以帮助确定课程，因为它们可以告知需要培养的能力的内容和水平。国际计算生物学会（ISCB）于2014年制定了生物信息学能力清单，并对其进行了多轮改进。经过与生物信息学培训界的广泛磋商，这些能力现在得到了进一步完善和扩展，包括知识技能和态度，以及与以前和其他现有能力框架的映射：结果：在此，我们介绍 ISCB 能力框架的第三版。我们介绍了该框架的开发过程和使用方法，并提供了一些使用实例：该框架可通过 https://competency.ebi.ac.uk/framework/iscb/3.0/competencies 公开获取。
