2025-03-25T08:02:27Z urn:hdl:10259/10367 Development and validation of a multiple-choice test for sustainability competence in primary school using the GreenComp framework Toma, Radu Bogdan Ortiz Revilla, Jairo Greca Dufranc, Ileana María GreenComp Sustainability competence Instrument validation Primary education assessment Validity Reliability There is no standardized definition or measurement tool for sustainability competence, which hinders comparative research. This study addresses this gap by developing a new test based on the European reference framework GreenComp. The proposed instrument, consisting of eleven multiple-choice items, was validated through expert review and exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, showing strong construct validity and high internal consistency reliability. Applied to students aged 8 to 12, it revealed a prevalence of basic and anthropocentric perspectives on sustainability. This promising tool can assess sustainability competence in primary education and has the potential for use across European countries. 2025-03-25T08:02:27Z 2025-03-25T08:02:27Z 2024-12 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 2666-3740 http://hdl.handle.net/10259/10367 10.1016/j.ijedro.2024.100388 eng International Journal of Educational Research Open. 2024, V. 7, p. 100388 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijedro.2024.100388 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Elsevier
