- Description
- The political concepts of 'democracy' and 'citizenship', in the broad field of education and more particularly in theories of classroom discipline and associated welfare policies, are widely utilized. While these powerful concepts are used as taken-for-granted ideas, there is no singularly agreed-upon answer to the question of what 'citizenship' and 'democracy' mean when used in schools and in relation to students, and what practical considerations they carry both for pedagogy and discipline. Moreover, depending on how the concepts of democracy and citizenship are used, they can be both (dis)empowcring for their subjects and simultaneously regulate them in terms of directing their activities in some form or another, be it in positive or negative directions. These concepts pre/proscribe behaviour, values and morals for schooled subjects including students, teachers and administrators, such that they simultaneously discipline their behaviour and create practices for their empowerment.
