“…The relationship between the attitude towards students with disabilities and school coexistence is significantly positive, but the relationship between the attitude towards students with disabilities and school coexistence in the democratic coexistence dimension is weak. In this sense, Mena andHuneeus (2017) &Nikolaou (2021) point out that shared experiences among all students improve the development of socioemotional skills, teamwork, and conflict resolution through reflection and consensual agreements, in which the student argues, learns to negotiate and decisions are made together, in a climate of dialogue, accepting differences with tolerance and promoting democratic coexistence in the classroom.…”

This research was carried out in a public educational institution with the purpose of analysing the association that exists between the attitude towards students with disabilities and school coexistence of students from second to fifth grade of primary school. The research is of a fundamental or pure basic type, with a correlational scope. The sample selected was 215 students. The instruments used to collect the information were the Inventory of Attitudes towards People with Disabilities and the evaluation instrument based on indicators of democratic, inclusive, and peaceful school coexistence. The results obtained confirm that there is a significant relationship between attitudes towards people with disabilities and democratic, inclusive, and peaceful school coexistence, demonstrating that students learn to be critical, reflective, fair, free and responsible in order to live together democratically and in a culture of peace. It is concluded that inclusive education starts with a transformation and change of attitude of the educational community, based on the implementation of an inclusive policy, culture and practice.

“…Entre las investigaciones que estudian la enseñanza/aprendizaje de la democracia, otro grupo centra su atención en las prácticas educativas democráticas de los centros escolares para comprenderlas en profundidad, caracterizarlas y/o clasificarlas (Collins et al, 2019;Eldestein, 2011;Haraldstad et al, 2021;Kahne, 2008;Nikolaou, 2021). La investigación de Eldestein (2011) es una referencia ya clásica dentro de este grupo.…”

Las escuelas son contextos ideales para aprender la democracia a través de su ejercicio, por ello el objetivo del artículo es conocer y caracterizar las prácticas democráticas de centros educativos en Portugal y España a partir de discursos de docentes. Basado en el análisis de 51 entrevistas, el artículo presenta las percepciones docentes sobre prácticas que reconocen ser fundamentadas en principios democráticos. Para ambos países, los resultados sugieren tres categorías diferentes de prácticas democráticas: i) prácticas que promueven la apertura al diálogo y a la participación del alumnado en la toma de decisiones; ii) prácticas que fomentan la convivencia y las buenas relaciones interpersonales, tanto en el aula como en la escuela; iii) prácticas dirigidas al aprendizaje de normas, procedimientos y valores característicos de una sociedad democrática. Los datos muestran que docentes de España y Portugal reconocen un amplio abanico de prácticas, iniciativas y experiencias educativas fundadas en principios de democracia y de justicia social en sus centros educativos.

“…Furthermore, it raises the question of whether it is necessary to emphasize only social citizenship education for adults for a mature civil society or to have a sober reflection on the fact that research discussion is the main focus. It is an appropriate time to seriously discuss whether citizenship education or citizenship for children's education is a secondary and banal issue, or whether civic education is unnecessary or meaningless for children (Nikolaou, 2021).…”

To lay the foundation for the development of democratic citizens for the youth who will become the leaders of the future society, major areas of democratic civic education have been selected and research conducted on factors affecting the democratic citizenship of the youths of K city located in Gyeonggi-do. In this study, we selected 32 questionnaires from 4 areas based on previous research and carried out a survey on 219 students. The final statistical processing was performed using the SPSS 21 program, and the results were as follows. We analyzed the effects of each of the students’ personal variables such as gender, school performance, parents’ academic background, and interest in social issues, on “human dignity,” “law-abiding spirit,” “rational decision making,” and “sense of community” that are in the realm of democratic citizenship. As a result of the analysis, first, human dignity has a significant effect according to gender and parents' educational background. Second, in the area of law-abiding spirit, only parents' educational background had a significant effect. Third, in the area of rational decision-making, gender and interest in social issues had an effect, and finally, in the area of community consciousness, parents' educational background and interest in social issues had significant effects. This study is meaningful as it found the factors that should be applied when conducting education for the cultivation of democratic citizenship in the future. The justification for practicing democratic citizenship education can be found in democracy itself. No matter how democratic a country is, if it fails to continue cultivating its roots by educating democratic ideals, its democracy will be shaken. Simple indoctrination should be avoided, but it should help students (members of society) develop the determination to uphold the liberal democratic and humanitarian values of human dignity, law-abiding spirit, rational decision-making, and a sense of community.
