LARA SALCEDO, Luz Marina. Sense and Meaning of Citizenship Training at Three Colombian schools. Educación [online]. 2021, vol.45, n.2, pp.339-358. ISSN 2215-2644.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/revedu.v45i1.42799.

A descriptive-comprehensive study was conducted to better understand citizenship training teaching practices. The study sought to examine characteristics of three significant case studies to probe into their sense and meaning using a socio-constructionism theoretical perspective. Data collection techniques were based on in-depth interviews conducted among leading teachers, and semi-structured principals, coordinators, teachers and parents; focus groups were held with the students and data processed through content analysis. Based on the findings, we were able to understand that experiences foster interdisciplinary work and that teachers are mainly concerned with the political development of their students and developing lessons on citizenship education that fosters student engagement in decision-making. However, teachers must strengthen their networks and share best practices and experiences to enrich the discussion and the debate in citizenship training as well as identify research for citizenship training.
