Abstract

This thesis aims to design a screening tool for the assessment of empathy, moral thinking, and reading ability in children of B and C grades of primary school, using Aesop's fables as a basic pillar. The design of such a tool fills a gap identified in assessing psychosocial skills combined with learning skills, aiming at the holistic development of students, as tomorrow's citizens of the 21st century. This questionnaire was created to detect personality traits indirectly, thus making the assessment process more enjoyable, keeping at the same time students' motivation active. In Chapter 1, the topics of the paper are introduced, the concepts it deals with, as well as its object and structure are presented. Next, the theoretical framework identified so far in the literature is analyzed. The importance of empathy skills in childhood is understood and its dimensions are presented. It examines the process of detecting moral thinking through fairy tales and myths, how the assessment of reading ability is achieved in a playful way, and the pedagogical value of Aesop's fables. Chapter 3 presents, in detail, the design of the questionnaire. It is created with an emphasis on the methodology of other reliable tools, followed by the structure and content of the tool, the procedure for its administration, and scoring. It shall also describe the population to which the questionnaire is to be administered, along with the sectors of primary school education to which it is addressed, and which may benefit from its use. Finally, Chapter 4 provides an overview of the completeness and effectiveness of the tool, examines the limitations identified, along with suggestions for future extensions.
