Description

Concept inventories are crucial for assessing students' understanding. The Climate Change Concept Inventory (CCCI-422) was developed to meet the need for a reliable assessment-tool in German for assessing the effectiveness of educational interventions and informing policy decisions in addressing this pressing issue. To make it accessible internationally, the CCCI-422 underwent a systematic translation procedure, aligning with Brislin's model. The translation involved software-generated and expert translations, followed by comparison and negotiation of differences. The English version is presented, highlighting translation challenges and seeking collaboration for validation. This translation approach of instruments aims to contribute to the comparability of research in PER.
