El ejercicio de una ciudadanía democrática, en la escuela desde una visión ético crítica de orientación freireana

Abstract

The following monograph titled: "The exercise of a democratic citizenship in school from a Freirean oriented critical-ethical vision" is part of the education and citizenship field. It is a descriptive bibliographic research work that was made with the purpose of completing the Basic Education Degree at the University of Cuenca and deals with two career-relevant categories: democratic citizenship at school and Freirean oriented critical ethical vision. This research aims to analyze how the critical ethical vision contributes in the construction of a democratic citizenship on Basic Education students. To achieve this, various bibliographic sources referring to the subject have been investigated. This monograph is organized in three chapters. In the first chapter, we will take a closer look to the exercise of democratic citizenship at school. The second chapter focuses on what a vision of critical ethical education based on Freirean oriented pedagogical thought consists of. Finally, in the third chapter, after analyzing the two categories that make up monographic work's theme, it is concluded that exercising democratic citizenship at school is a process of constant construction that coincides with several elements of the Freirean oriented vision of critical ethical education such as starting from the context, recovery of the student's experience, and other people's valuation as subjects of rights, which allows the construction and transformation of ethical and political citizens.
