Resumen

Asegurar la educación para la democracia implica darle oportunidades a los estudiantes para participar en procesos de toma de decisiones desde las escuelas. Este artículo utiliza datos de dos estudios de investigación previos en los que se realizó una análisis secundario de datos. El primer estudio comparó tres tipos de escolarización para observar cómo sus metodologías promovían la participación democrática. El segundo estudio recopiló datos en escuelas secundarias con el objetivo de comprender la implicación de los estudiantes y su interés en participar activamente en procesos democráticos. Se halla que los métodos de enseñanza que fomentan la autorregulación y el aprendizaje activo tienden a promover la participación de los estudiantes en los procesos de toma de decisiones. Por otro lado, aunque las escuelas secundarias pueden tener los mecanismos para involucrar a los estudiantes en la toma de decisiones, el alumno considera que su participación es simbólica. La ciudadanía activa y las actitudes democráticas dentro de las escuelas pueden brindar a los estudiantes la oportunidad de aprender a participar en la sociedad democrática más allá de la escuela. Es necesario un enfoque más holístico al considerar la participación democrática y la ciudadanía en las escuelas incluyendo también planteamientos metodológicos globales.
