Learning to learn assessment: the KR-ARCA Model

The present paper outlines a research-training process carried out with a sample of primary and lower secondary school teachers aimed at assessing the key competence of citizenship learning to learn (Asquini, 2016). For this purpose, an assessment model was developed called KC-ARCA Model (Key Competences - Assessment, Rubrics, Certification of Achieve-ment Model) which was tested in an exploratory way within the schools in-volved in the research. The research-training group identified the competence of learning to learn as a sort of "core competence" able to develop learning and effective behav-iours in several fields of action and study (OECD, 2002).
