Educating Competencies for Democracy, Hardback Book

Educating Competencies for Democracy Hardback

Edited by Dawn Schrader, Boris Zizek, Ewa Nowak

Part of the DIA-LOGOS series

Hardback

Description

While democratic ideals are cherished by many worldwide, practice and competence in democratic procedures and behaviors are fading.

Educating for democracy involves teaching skills that contribute to the democratic ideals, such as fairness, due process, and respect for the dignity, rights, and autonomy of others.

In this volume, researchers from throughout the world draw from the Dual-Aspect Theory, the Konstanz Method of Dilemma Discussion, and the Moral Judgment Test, developed by German psychologist Georg Lind to advance democratic competencies.

Grounded in Lawrence Kohlberg’s theory of moral judgment, contributors report research at various levels of social engagement, such as schools, workplaces, governments, prisons, and communities, to describe how people can, and do, develop democratic competencies that hold promise for creating interactions and institutions that are just and fair.
