Abstract

Processes of democratization in Indonesia occur at a rapid pace in many areas of public discourse. It is therefore necessary for the education system to keep abreast of the changes in community. Demand for the political renewal of the society exemplifies democratic processes in its structures and processes as well as preparing students to understand democracy.

It explores strategies that teachers may adopt to democratize their curriculum and pedagogy
