Abstract
In an era of urgent need of sustainability, initiatives aimed at developing competences for sustainability need assessment tools to effectively support understanding on their impact. This work presents the creation process of a questionnaire to assess the GreenComp framework competences “Valuing Sustainability”, “Supporting fairness”, and “Promoting nature”. After a literature review on research about sustainability competencies and its data collection tools, it was developed a questionnaire using a mixed-methods study design concerning three phases. From this research resulted a versatile tool that has been specifically crafted for extensive use in the realm of sustainability education research, although easily applied in a wide range of research, educational, and training contexts.
