Changes in the educational landscape driven by globalization have encouraged innovation, especially through the introduction of the independent curriculum. This study aims to examine the role of educational democracy in implementing the independent curriculum, which prioritizes democratic values with the goal of fostering creative, critical, and productive individuals, thereby enhancing the pedagogical quality of education. The method used is a literature review, examining various sources such as books, journals, and relevant publications. The independent curriculum seeks to create an educational process based on the principles of freedom, independence, and equality, guiding individuals toward a better life. Democratic education encompasses not only procedures but also values that respect human dignity.
