Bitola 7000, R. Macedonia [email protected] Abstract Democratic education inspires the learning process with democratic values of the society, like meaningful participation, personal initiative, and equality and justice for all. It sees young people as active recipients of knowledge and active co-creators of their own learning. They are not the products of an education system, but rather valued participants in a vibrant learning community. Democratic education begins with the premise that everyone is unique, so each of us learns in a different way. By supporting the individual development of each young person within a caring community, democratic education helps young people learn about themselves, engage with the world around them, and become positive and contributing members of society. Guided by this vision, democratic education can take various forms, each shaped by the by teachers, young people, school programs and communities. Schools implementing democratic education by involving practices like self- directed learning, shared decision-making, individualized project-based work, and student- chosen internships in the community. This includes schools that use the label “democratic schools“and others that practice these values and use other terms. Teachers creatively involve students working within the conventional structure of the school, but still need to provide students’ opportunity to have a choice in their learning. These teachers go beyond conventional building program to build more relevant and engaging experience that is associated with the lives of young people. (Bennis) Key words: democracy, education, classroom, environment, changes Introduction Every society in its development and vision poses challenges to schools who specifically perceive the demands for greater efficiency and greater inclusion of stakeholders concerned. In education there is an always ongoing and prevailing tendency for modernization and acceptance of young generations of all social, social, national and ethnic groups depending on the level of development of society and the needs of the young generations of continuous permanent changes. Education is a friendly bridge between all institutions in society with one goal, to help young people to be productive, responsible citizens, to realize their intellectual potential, while at the same time to develop and its other capabilities, because our future depends on young people. In order to accomplish its mission, the school should reflect changes in society, and thus to create the necessary changes. Changes in the environment affect the 1 Specialized paper 7 shifting interests, needs, the behavior of the students, their readiness for acceptance or rejection of certain ways of learning or models of communication. (Кочоска, 2007) In recent years it has more to do about work organization in the classroom in which it is represented cooperation between all subjects. Students need to provide a friendly, working atmosphere and all of that they can accomplish when they are in a democratic environment in which jointly make the rules in the classroom, act responsibly and mutual respect. (Learning) Democratic education The Institute for Democratic Education in America (IDEA) defines democratic education as “learning that equips every human being to participate fully in a healthy democracy. “ (Graves, 2011) It's important to note that while democracy is taught in public schools, students are not given an opportunity to authentically practice democracy. Therefore the question arises: “If we don't experience democracy in our schools, how could we ever expect to end up with democracy in the ‘real’ world? “(Graves, 2011) Actually democratic education is a learning that is meaningful, relevant, joyous, engaging, and empowering. It is more than just any learning environment, such as a school, and more than one feature, but an approach to life and learning and an approach to interacting with all members of your community in a way that respects, honors, and listens authentically to each voice within it. It is the practice of real democracy, which can manifest in many different ways based on you, your community, and your learning environment (Graves, 2011) A number of studies show that in educational environments engaging young people as active participants in their own learning is associated with greater commitment to students
