Assessment for Learning in Citizenship Education

Hélia Oliveira

In the ALiCE Erasmus+ KA 2 project, we propose the collaborative development of a framework for assessment, with a main focus on formative assessment, in the context of citizenship education across Europe. We focus on screening the diversity of how citizenship education is integrated into local curricula, which learning goals are put forward, and how assessment practices are and can be used to facilitate learning in citizenship education.

We focus for ALiCE on producing four interconnected project results:
– a framework that takes a comparative perspective on (assessment in) citizenship education across member states in Europe (IO1);
– an inventory of innovative educational practices in citizenship education with a focus on the operationalization of assessment (IO2);
– a repository of methods for formative assessment that we adapt for usage within citizenship education and prime towards local contextualization (IO3);
– a roadmap to support school teams with implementing formative assessment in citizenship education (IO4).
