Resumen

Las concepciones de docentes y estudiantes sobre la democracia influyen en las actitudes, las expectativas y lasposibilidades de esta forma de gobierno, por ello resulta fundamental conocerlas. El objetivo de esta investigación esdescribir las concepciones de democracia en el centro educativo que tienen docentes y estudiantes en España. Para ellose realizó una investigación fenomenográfica cuyos participantes fueron 15 profesores y 15 alumnos de centros educativosespañoles. Los resultados sugieren tres concepciones sobre la democracia en el centro escolar, aunque con ligerasdiferencias entre ambos grupos. En primer lugar, una concepción elitista que reduce la democracia a la libre competenciay elección de centro por parte de las familias, cuyos discursos jerarquizados resultan afines a la filosofía neoliberal. Unarepresentativa que enfatiza el voto como mecanismo de decisión. Las principales diferencias entre docentes y estudiantesse encuentran bajo esta concepción, ya que mientras el profesorado tiende a desestimar el poder real del estudiantado, elalumnado llega a reclamar injerencia en decisiones trascendentales del centro. Finalmente, una concepción participativaque se caracteriza por la horizontalidad y la toma de decisiones consensuada. Promover esta concepción participativaresulta fundamental para fomentar el pensamiento crítico y la intervención de todas las personas en los asuntos comunes,avanzando así hacia sociedades más justas y equitativas.
