La propuesta de ciudadanía radical y las representaciones sociales de estudiantes de bachillerato en Colombia

Abstract

This article presents the results of an investigation about the social representations of high school students (16 to 18 years old) in Colombia regarding citizenship, democracy, participation and politics. The theoretical approach to the work recognized, as a starting point, 4 theoretical models: the liberal, the republican, the communitarian and the radical. The work was framed in the perspective of the central nucleus and the peripheral system. The study methodology was mixed. The information was obtained through a questionnaire of open and closed questions. The findings show that the students have representations that fall between the liberal and republican models. The identification of the central nucleus of the representations allows the design of didactic proposals that go beyond the hegemonic discourses of the studied categories and contribute to the construction of a future with greater social justice.
