Training Needs Assessment

Please answer the questions based on your current knowledge, experience and classroom practice. There are no consequences for identifying an area in which you need further support. Your responses will help the project team adapt training to the needs of participating teachers and the contexts in which they work.

For knowledge questions, please select the answer that you consider most appropriate without seeking assistance. For questions about classroom practice and confidence, choose the response that best reflects your own experience. You may leave an optional comment blank if you have nothing to add.

Time needed: 25-30 minutes. We collect only the information needed for analysis.

Section C. Knowledge and applied understanding

This section assesses your understanding of key concepts and your ability to select appropriate teaching approaches in practical situations. Select one answer for each question.

C1. Which approach best reflects Education for Sustainable Development? Teaching environmental facts without connecting them to daily life Connecting environmental, social and economic issues with informed decisions and practical action Focusing only on textbook definitions Asking learners to memorize sustainability-related terms

C2. A teacher wants learners to understand a local environmental problem. Which activity is most appropriate? Ask learners to copy a definition from the textbook Explain the problem without involving learners Ask learners to investigate the issue, discuss possible causes and suggest practical solutions Ask learners to memorize a list of environmental problems

C3. Which statement best describes Global Citizenship Education? Learning only about other countries Promoting respect for diversity, rights, responsibilities and constructive participation in society Teaching learners to avoid discussing differences Focusing exclusively on national history

C6. A teacher wants to use indigenous knowledge in a lesson. What is the most appropriate first step? Assume all traditional practices are equally suitable for every learning objective Consult relevant knowledge holders and connect appropriate local knowledge to the learning objective Use local stories without considering their relevance Avoid local knowledge because it is not part of formal education

C7. Which approach best represents inquiry-based learning? Learners investigate a question, examine evidence and develop explanations Learners copy notes provided by the teacher The teacher gives all answers before learners explore a topic Learners memorize information without asking questions
