The Educational Requirement for Democracy

Abstract: The ideals underlying education are essentially similar to those underlying democracy, suggesting that schools should embody principles of democracy for students as part of a sound education. Changes in social conditions make this requirement even more important today. School practices, however, are far from democratic in most cases, even though the arguments against democratic practices are not strong. The article concludes with suggestions for democratic practices in working with students.

“…In the last three decades, the idea of the student voice, which explores the importance of students' perspectives in diverse aspects of educational provision, has gained prominence in HE research (Leckey & Neill, 2001;Levin, 1998;Subramanian, Anderson, Morgaine, & Thomson, 2013). Subramanian et al (2013, p. 137) identify four ways in which students' insights might improve the educational process, encapsulating ideas that have been articulated by several other authors.…”

“…Subramanian et al (2013, p. 137) identify four ways in which students' insights might improve the educational process, encapsulating ideas that have been articulated by several other authors. These include (1) providing formative feedback on pedagogical practices (Harvey, 2003;Seale, 2010), (2) being a key element of the quality assurance strategy (Estes, 2004;Leckey & Neill, 2001;Moufahim & Lim, 2015), (3) promoting engagement and reflection on teaching and learning activities (Cook-Sather, 2006) and (4) advancing democratic participation and empowerment (Cohn, 2012;Del Prato, 2013;Levin, 1998).…”

“…Como planteó Macpherson (2003, p. 104), el pensamiento liberal se ha ido despojando deliberada-mente de todos los contenidos morales de su propuesta, aceptando que "el objetivo de la democracia es tomar nota de los deseos de la gente como es, no contribuir a lo que podría ser o quizá deseara ser". En este trabajo enfatizamos que la democracia tiene que ver con la búsqueda de una forma ética de vida (Levin, 1998) que promueve las cualidades morales de los individuos para que tengamos en cuenta a las otras personas en las decisiones que nos afectan colectivamente (Christiano, 2008). En consecuencia, entendemos que la participación es un componente central de la democracia, pero no puede pensarse ni desarrollarse al margen de una serie de ideales, valores, horizontes, actitudes, acciones y pensamientos.…”

“…En el caso de la participación del alumnado en la escuela, esto se expresa en que los alumnos y las alumnas deberían tomar un papel protagonista, contribuir a la construcción de la vida del centro y a la construcción de su propia vida dentro del centro y, en consonancia, sentirse pertenecientes a él. Así, al pensar en la participación del alumnado, pensamos en personas que quieren ser creadoras activas de su escuela y no beneficiarias pasivas (Levin, 1998), contribuyendo en la medida de sus capacidades e intereses a los asuntos colectivos e individuales. Por supuesto, la participación no puede ser forzada ni impuesta; cada persona tomará sus ritmos y sus formas específicas de participar.…”

“…Demokratik bir sınıf ortamında yetişen bireyler yaratıcı düşünebilen, karar verebilen, problemleri çözebilen, sorumluluk alabilen ve empatik eğilime sahip bireyler olabilirler. Levin (1998), eğitim ve demokrasinin ortak özellikleri paylaştığını bu nedenle bir araya gelmelerinin kolay olduğunu belirtmektedir…”
