This book uses international collaboration between nine European
countries to explore how teacher education systems across Europe
perceive and act upon devolving democracy and democratic
citizenship. Understanding these countries' cultural approaches to
individual and national priorities in education is essential in
perceiving similarities and differences in the meaning of
'democracy'. The book offers debate on the prospects for teacher
education and the development of democratic citizenship in Europe
based on historical, political, economic and cultural contexts and
the Council of Europe's (CoE) competences for democratic
citizenship. With critical analysis and evaluation around the
common theme of teacher education and its role in developing
democratic citizenship, the book provides awareness and
understanding of how teacher education responds to the Council of
Europe's (CoE) conceptual model of competences for democratic
culture. 20 competences categorized as Values, Attitudes, Skills,
and Knowledge and Critical Understanding are defined so they can be
taught to enable learners to practice them in their daily lives as
democratic citizens. This book will be of key interest to
academics, researchers and post-graduate students in the fields of
teacher education, educational policy and politics, and citizenship
education.
