Competencias y habilidades para el desarrollo de la ciudadanía en México: derechos y obligaciones políticas en la asignatura “Formación Cívica y Ética” de educación secundaria

Abstract

This article seeks to contribute to the analysis of citizenship that is promoted from secondary education based on the frequency and quality with which political rights and obligations are addressed in the study plan, textbooks and the program of the subject "Civic and Ethical Education" in Mexico. The text indicates that, with the exception of the right to vote, it is likely that students do not sufficiently develop their political rights and obligations during basic education and this may become a difficulty in putting them into practice. In Mexico, the average schooling is 9.7 years, therefore the citizen education that is encouraged from basic education in many cases forms the basis that citizens will have to insert themselves in the public space, as well as to fully exercise their political rights and fulfill their obligations. The research was carried out with a mixed methodology, for the classification and systematization the MAXQDA software was used. The hermeneutical perspective allowed the interpretation in quality and deepening of the rights and political obligations. The observation units were made up of the current curriculum as of 2019, a sample of five textbooks per school grade, and the subject program.
