YANEZ DIAZ, Mireya Berenice e GONZALEZ LIZARRAGA, María Guadalupe. Citizenship competences and a proposal for a democratic school by students of Colegio de Bachilleres del Estado de Sonora. Vértice univ. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.92, pp.13-27. Epub 02-Maio-2022. ISSN 2683-2623. https://doi.org/10.36792/rvu.v92i92.38.
This article reports on the four aspects of citizenship competences: knowledge, behavior, values, and attitudes in a group of young high school students, and their proposal for a democratic school. Democracy and state of law were used as the two specific dimensions of citizenship. The data was gathered with a survey answered by 477 students enrolled in their senior year in a public school in the urban area of Hermosillo. According to the results, the students have a working knowledge about their rights, obligations, and the concept of democracy. They privilege respect above other values and report few chances to participate at school. Based on their written narrative, the school doesn’t have a democratic environment hence they propose to integrate students in the decision-making process on regards to evaluation criteria, school life and topics of courses they can take part in. Thus, the results let us infer that the new generation of citizens is passive and reproduces an established structural system in which they can sometimes express their opinion but cannot participate actively in its changes.
