Democratic culture competences of the council of Europe: how it is interpreted from teacher training
Abstract
The interest in building a democratic culture that is increasingly broad and deep is understood as an urgent task. In this regard, educational institutions, teachers, and, as such, the initial training programs offered at universities play a central role in this construction. In the task of building a democratic culture, supranational institutions such as the European Commission and the European Union make continuous efforts to create reference frameworks oriented toward this goal, such as the Competences for Democratic Culture. For this reason, studying the incorporation of these competences into teacher training programs is pertinent and necessary. This article is the result of qualitative research that analyzed how the Competences for Democratic Culture (CDC), proposed by the European Union and the Council of Europe, are reflected in the Primary Education degree program at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. The analysis was conducted following the guidelines of content analysis using the Nvivo software. The analysis shows the existence of a general framework that promotes the incorporation of CDC in the analyzed degree, with a predominance of work on skills and values compared to other types of competences.
