Understanding the perspectives, experiences and perceptions of teachers in relation to democracy in education. (2012) (original) (raw)

The research presented focuses on the Global Doing Democracy Research Project (GDDRP), which investigates teachers' perceptions and experiences of democracy in education across diverse political contexts. It emphasizes the need for transformative approaches to democracy in teacher education, critiques traditional civic education models, and underscores the significance of understanding power dynamics in fostering meaningful engagement in democratic practices within educational settings. By analyzing quantitative and qualitative data collected through an online survey, the project aims to contribute to a critical and robust democratic education that links social justice with teacher training.
