Democracia y Educación en el contexto iberoamericano: Una revisión de la literatura académica entre 2010 y 2019.

This article presents a systematic review of Ibero-American academic literature from the last decade (2010-2019) that relates education and democracy in 145 texts. We take as starting point the significance of the notion of democracy, its current crisis and the fundamental role of education to overcome it. The aim of this study is to know and explain the state of the art of the scientific production on this topic and associated key debates through the analysis of 145 articles. For this purpose, we analyse the body of scientific literature considering three criteria: type of study, educative dimension and democracy discourse. Though the analysis we identify ways to enrich the debate. We emphasise the possibility of a more open, deeper and critic understanding of the educative spaces and didactic elements associated to democratic education. This involves problematizing the concept of democracy, allowing us to understand its current crisis and the role played by society beyond school. We emphasise the need to challenge the logic that supports most of the studies, especially those that situate education and educative agents as responsible for the democratic change. Finally, we reflect on methodological and collaborative possibilities that expand our understanding of the relationship between education and democracy within the Ibero-American and global context.
