Abstract

The transformation of the digital public sphere marked by polarization, misinformation, and discursive fragmentation raises fundamental questions about the role of communication education in shaping critical citizenship. This study aims to map how communication education practices in the classroom transform into citizens' critical participation capacities in the public sphere. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) using the PRISMA approach on 47 Scopus and Sinta indexed articles published between 2015 and 2025. The findings reveal four main dimensions connecting communication education with critical citizenship: critical media literacy, dialogic pedagogy, deliberative digital participation, and resistance to dominant discourses. The study concludes that communication education should be reconstructed as a transformative social praxis integrating Habermasian public sphere theory, Freirean critical pedagogy, and digital citizenship approaches to address contemporary deliberative democracy challenges.
