Abstract: Purpose: This article explores methodologies used by educators in citizenship education, examining how they perceive their roles when balancing skills and values, and how they approach assessment. It also investigates how transformative learning theory (Mezirow, 1978; Taylor, 2009) is reflected in practice and how outcomes are assessed. Design/methodology/approach: A case study based on three semi-structured interviews with teachers from different European countries, focusing on classroom and assessment practices. Findings: The study highlights opportunities and challenges in transformative approaches, especially in relation to formative assessment. Key features identified include personal engagement, critical dialogue, varied teacher roles, and integration of cognitive and affective learning. Teachers avoid directly assessing values, instead prioritising skills, knowledge, and engagement. Research limitations/implications: Further research should examine effective formative strategies in citizenship education. Practical implications: Teachers need training in formative assessment.
