Abstract: This study presents the design and validation of a vignette questionnaire for assessing sustainability competences in secondary school students, using the GreenComp competence framework as a theoretical basis. The questionnaire was administered to 389 students from seven secondary schools in the province of Tarragona, Spain. This article describes the processes of content validation by a group of experts, the assessment of questionnaire item quality, and the validation of the construct. As a result of the research, we obtained a final version of a vignette questionnaire with adequate psychometric properties and an expected a posteriori (EAP) reliability index = 0.804. This questionnaire is suitable for the assessment of the overall sustainability competence of secondary school students. The study results highlight the need to continue developing the design, validation, and implementation of tools for assessing sustainability competences in future research to contribute to the operationalization of existing competence frameworks in secondary education.
