Opis

Educating for democratic citizenship needs to be actively taught and not caught. Educating for democratic citizenship entails teaching and learning strategies, such as co-operative group work, discussion, role-play and multicultural content. Citizenship education also engages the learner with human rights education, civic education and values education. This book serves as a guide for teacher education programmes in constitutional democracies.
