Active Citizen Compass: A Digital Assessment Tool of Active Citizenship in Schools

Περίληψη

This work presents the development of the "Active Citizen Compass (ACC)", a digital assessment tool
designed to evaluate active citizenship among secondary education students. The tool has been
developed within the framework of the Erasmus+ project "Active Citizen Compass," which aims to
promote active citizenship among students across six partner countries: Belgium, Czechia, Greece, Spain,
the Netherlands, and Turkey. Before the tool’s development, a cross-national study was conducted to
explore students’ knowledge, skills and attitudes related to active citizenship. The findings from this
research informed the design of the ACC, which will be piloted in partner schools to assess students’
active citizenship competencies before and after participating in related learning activities. Upon
completion, the tool will be freely accessible to all schools, supporting them in promoting and assessing
active citizenship competencies in diverse educational contexts.
