Resumen
El presente estudio aborda las representaciones sobre la enseñanza de la democracia
de los docentes de Ciencias Sociales del nivel secundaria. Su objetivo es responder
cómo estos docentes entienden la educación democrática, explorando tres categorías:
las representaciones sociales de la educación democrática, sus principios y las
estrategias pedagógicas para promoverla. La investigación parte de una concepción
de democracia que trasciende su definición como sistema de gobierno, entendiéndola
como un modo de vida (Dewey, 1916). En este marco, la educación democrática
busca formar ciudadanos activos, críticos y comprometidos con los valores
democráticos (Sant, 2019). Mediante una investigación cualitativa descriptiva se
entrevista a cuatro docentes, dos de instituciones públicas y dos de privadas. Se utilizó
una guía de entrevista flexible para respetar los intereses y espacios de los
informantes. La información se analiza mediante nubes de palabras y matrices dentro
del marco teórico. Las entrevistas fueron transcritas y analizadas utilizando nubes de
palabras según las categorías y recogiendo categorías emergentes. Así se identifican
los aspectos centrales de las representaciones de los docentes. Los resultados
revelan que los docentes entienden la educación democrática desde diversos
enfoques, siendo el menos presente aquel que prioriza la experiencia como base para
su aprendizaje y si este enfoque estaba reflejado en su práctica docente. Finalmente,
se resalta la importancia de fortalecer la enseñanza de la democracia para mejorar la
educación y proteger los valores democráticos en el Perú.
This study addresses the representations of democracy in education among secondary-level Social Studies teachers. Its aim is to understand how these teachers perceive democratic education by exploring three categories: social representations of democratic education, its principles, and the pedagogical strategies used to promote it. The research is based on a conception of democracy that goes beyond its definition as a system of government, understanding it as a way of life (Dewey, 1916). Within this framework, democratic education seeks to cultivate active, critical, and engaged citizens committed to democratic values (Sant, 2019). Using a descriptive qualitative approach, four teachers were interviewed—two from public institutions and two from private ones. A flexible interview guide was employed to respect the participants' interests and perspectives. The data was analyzed using word clouds and matrices within the theoretical framework. The interviews were transcribed and examined through word clouds based on the established categories, while also identifying emerging themes. This process helped pinpoint the core aspects of the teachers' representations. The findings reveal that teachers understand democratic education from various perspectives, with the least prevalent being the approach that prioritizes experience as the foundation for learning and whether this approach was reflected in their teaching practice. Finally, the study underscores the importance of strengthening democracy education to improve teaching and safeguard democratic values in Peru.
