LOBATON-PATINO, Ramiro Gastón. Scientific Realm of Political Training: Conceptual Elements and Lines of Research. educ.educ. [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.2, pp.254-273. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2016.19.2.5.

The study analyzes the scientific research that has been developed in Germany on the discipline of political training. It depicts the foundations of political training as a realm of scientific study in pedagogy. The critical-hermeneutical method is used, and the objective of the study is characterized based on a review of contemporary German literature. The explanation of training as a scientific field is based on three components: theory of political training, didactic policy and practice. Results: The study shows the theory of political training defends a concept of critical democratic citizenship that promotes intellective capabilities and skills not only to understand, analyze and emit political judgments, but also to develop responsible actions within a democratic society. The analysis of didactic policy picks up the theoretical debate, acknowledging the constitutive quality of this scientific field by pointing to its synoptic nature and its relationship with baseline and specialty concepts. The article ends with an indication of the lines of research developed in Germany within the field of political training and the results.

Keywords : Political training; political training skills; political didactics; civic education; German education.
