Citizenship Between Education and Practice: A Research on the Mechanisms of Training an Active Citizen (vol.7, no.1; Al-Naqid Journal for Political Studies) Year of publication: 2023 Author: Yusuf Zadam Corporate author: Mohamed Khider University of Biskra The study delves into the relationship between citizenship and education, aiming to understand the mechanisms for fostering an engaged citizenry. It argues that merely educating individuals about citizenship is insufficient; rather, democracy must be practiced within the diverse institutions, processes, and behaviors within the school. As such, the study elucidates the characteristics of the ideal citizen and desired citizenship, emphasizing the distinction between an 'active citizen' and a 'passive recipient.' Additionally, it explores the transition from citizenship education to a comprehension of democracy. The findings reveal that the school serves as a crucial arena shaping both active citizens and passive recipients. Therefore, the dynamics among various actors within the school environment significantly influence the type of citizen produced.
