Özet:

The surrounding reality confirms us each time that where citizens are informed and they participate with responsibility to the political life, the democracy is strong, and viceversa. The mission of democratic education relays on the development of democratic spirit, in stimulating initiative, active and responsible participation of citizens to the life of the community. The scope of democratic education consists in the formation of a certain type of citizen, which is the informed, active, responsible citizen, sensible to the problems of the community. After 1992, Civic Culture as scholar discipline having the objective of education for democracy, was reintroduced in the Romanian education system. This discipline is studied in the primary school, as well as in the gymnasium (7th grade) and professional school. The teaching is made after alternative books of Civic Culture. Education for democracy represented one of the major concerns of the most intergovernmental or nongovernmental organizations: UNESCO, the European Union, the Council of Europe, OSCE, CIVITAS, OECD, IEA, IBE. In the paper there are presented some ways of integration of new educations, with particularization on the democratic education in the Romanian pre -university and university education system. The paper presents the results of a questionnaire regarding the place and the role of the Democratic Education discipline. Education for democracy is an educational scope, directing the education system towards a common set of values, like: diversity, pluralism, human rights, social justice, wellbeing, solidarity.
