Introduction. A high level of civic literacy remains one of the main priorities of education, as it is the foundation for the development of democracy and economic growth. Physical education has significant potential for the formation and development of civic competencies. The Purpose of the study was to develop a valid tool for quantitative assessment of the level of civic competencies and the role of physical education in their formation. Research Methods. The study involved students who studied in third and sixth grades (n = 860, 53,72 % of respondents were girls, 34,88 % third graders). The Questionnaire on Civic Attitudes and Sustainable Development (СASD) was translated and culturally adapted; the special module, Civic Competences in Physical Education (CCPE-10), was created. The structure of the questionnaires and their validity were analyzed. For this purpose, we used exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, calculated the α-Cronbach, average variance extracted, and composite reliability coefficient. Results. In the structure of the CASD questionnaire, the scales solidarity, commitment–responsibility, and «dialogue–respect» were isolated. According to factor analysis results, the CCPE-10 questionnaire had scales communication skills and reflection, action, and identity. The obtained models had satisfactory suitability criteria (for СASD: χ²/ df = 2,53, CFI = 0,905, TLI = 0,902; RMSEA = 0,060, SRMR = 0,062; for CCPE-10: χ²/ df = 2,78, CFI = 0,901, TLI = 0,908; RMSEA = 0,058, SRMR = 0,064). Conclusions. An adapted and valid Ukrainian version of the tool for assessing civic competencies with a special module «Civic competencies in physical education» was obtained. The tool is designed for schoolchildren of third and sixth grades; contains six scales (solidarity, commitment–responsibility, dialogue–respect, communication skills and reflection, action, identity); covers such components of civic competencies as knowledge, skills, reflection, social cohesion, tolerance; the tool allows to quantify the importance of physical education in the formation of civic competencies.
