Abstract

The civic training of the student is what promotes the lifestyle to coexist in society, therefore, it seeks to strengthen it from educational institutions at all levels of education since they are the foundations of the future of society. The best means to train citizens with a democratic mindset is through real practices and it is there that the meaning of the school government program emerges, which was the object of study of this research. The benefits of applying this strategy for citizen training and democracy at the secondary level of education were analyzed. The study was carried out with students from the diversified cycle, from the National Institute of Diversified Education, located in Mazatenango, Suchitepéquez. Being a social research, the qualitative methodology was adopted through which the researcher got involved living experiences when directing the process of choosing the school government in said institute in 2019. The technique used was participant observation with the one that managed to have a direct contact with the study phenomenon, which was the process of democratic election of the school government and how this curricular activity contributes to the civic formation of the student body. The theory of citizenship training was achieved through bibliographic consultations from various sources that provided elements of judgment to systematize the experience lived in the election of the school government of said institute. The knowledge on citizenship training obtained by the students was evaluated through open interviews. Among the main findings of the study, the transversality of the choice of the school government with the other areas of the curriculum stands out, strengthening the acquisition of more competencies of the proposals in the National Base Curriculum at the middle level. Likewise, the execution of projects for academic improvement by the school government and the interest of teachers to improve activity was detected. It is concluded that civic training fulfills the task of establishing the bases of the student's civic life through their participation in the election and performance of the school government. It is recommended to take advantage of this activity for academic purposes, promoting in students the formation of values such as respect, honesty, justice, freedom of expression and equity of action within society.
