Democratic Consciousness' Discourses in History Education: The Spanish Curriculum
Citizenship, Social and Economics Education, v24 n1 p102-117 2025
The main objective of this paper is to analyse the discourses of democratic values in the last Spanish curriculum of history education. The procedure analysis is a CDA (critical discourse analysis) following Wodak's methodology and an "ad hoc" instrument focusing on the description of the ideological perspectives in the curricula, the visible and invisible topics, and the type of democracy. The results showed that, in Spain, the presence of "democratic consciousness" has been amplified in the new curriculum. The skills and evaluation criteria are now linked to the SDG (sustainable development goals by the UN) and, also, to a multicultural and constitutional democracy. Topics like minorities, slavery, dictatorship's victims, memory, LGTBIQ + rights or gender equality are emerging in the new decree.
