Classroom Practices for Building Democratic Learning Environments
摘要
This chapter offers a general framework for teaching strategies to implement civic and citizenship education. The first part focuses on fostering an open classroom climate for learning, with particular attention to effective classroom management, creating a sense of community and collaboration in multicultural contexts, and the role of formative assessment in developing democratic learning environments. The second part examines strategies designed to advance students’ active participation in their learning, offering examples of approaches that support civic learning, including problem- and project-based learning, case-based learning, discussions and debates, role-playing, and lateral reading for civic online reasoning.
