Students experiencing and developing democratic citizenship through curriculum negotiation: the relevance of Garth Boomer’s approach

“…School can be regarded as a `site for citizenship' (Hoskins, Janmaat & Villalba, 2012;Bron & Veugelers, 2014a, 2014b, a place to practice and develop abilities and experience the values necessary to sustain a democratic society. Also many universities in recent years have explicitly stated the 'graduate attributes' they wish their students to develop and attention paid to these attributes frequently provide opportunities and experiences to enable students to develop 'global citizenship' (Haigh & Clifford, 2010).…”

“…argue that although now decades old, this model is still valuable and can contribute to ensuring all student voices are integrated into curricular developments as well as to the development of democratic citizenship education in schools (Zipin, 2013;Bron & Veugelers, 2014a) and to the development of 'graduate attributes' in universities (Cook-Sather et all, 2014). This work is likely to be of interest to teachers and curriculum designers focused on primary, secondary and higher education because next to the development of democratic qualities, curriculum negotiation has been demonstrated to contribute to beneficial outcomes for both students and teachers in the form of: enhanced engagement; improved learning and teaching experiences; and enhanced meta-cognitive understanding of learning and teaching (Cook-Sather at all, 2014).…”
