An Overview of Constitutional Education in Upper-Secondary School in Albania

Abstract

Constitutional education holds significant value in shaping conscientious and engaged citizens within a democratic society. Thus, the paper aims to analyze the narrative viewpoint and structure in educational media regarding knowledge about legislation and its role in regulating interpersonal and interinstitutional relationships. From a methodological perspective, it relies on desk analysis to examine the approach to constitutional education in Civics curriculum, and Civics textbooks for the tenth grade in current use in upper-secondary education. Additionally, the paper uses a survey to gather information about the student’s knowledge in the field. The findings reveal the prevalence of an authorial perspective, a limited presence of multiperspectivity, a detachment of knowledge from concrete situations, the predominance of cognitive dimension in the didactic apparatus and others.
