La educación para la ciudadanía en la formación inicial de maestros.

When Education for Citizenship is tried to be analysed at university, glancing university programs, courses, subjects, or curricula is the first step that is usually being given. Although the most decisive step is not the explained curriculum, but the experience that has been lived by the students as citizens and members of the institution that forms them on the upper level. Through this paper, the role of Education for Citizenship in the initial training of teachers is analysed from two perspectives, these being, on the one hand, from their presence in legislation and curricula and, on the other, from the institutional arrangements in which the university is organized and where students are involved. At the end, there is also a brief reflection to increase the students' political participation in those institutions for teacher's initial education as a way to contribute to the civic education for the forthcoming teachers.
