I seem people list their Areas of Specialization (AOS) and Areas of Competence (AOC) on their academic CV's, but it is not clear to me how these categories are distinguished from each other. Is the AOC the general field in which you work and the AOS your specific interests within that general field? Or does the AOS represent your research interests and the AOC your teaching abilities? Or is it something else?
Thank you for your help!
I think the AOS are the courses/subjects studied. The AOC are the competencies/skills acquired throughout working.
What do you have in mind? David Francis Sherwood
Well, I do not not what to think of it, hence the question, except for the two ideas I listed in the original question. The version of AOS and AOC you listed are new to me, though I see how this would make sense and be a helpful thing. Its certainly makes more sense than the 2nd idea I listed in the original question! I'd love to hear from others, too, and see if there is a consensus!
