title = {„Also da ist im Bundestag vielleicht ein bisschen weniger Demokratie als bei uns in der Klasse.“ Reflexionen einer 9. Gymnasialklasse über ihre Bundestagssimulation im Rahmen einer fiktiven Dorfgründung},
year = {2018},
note = {One central question of civic education is how we can relieve
political apathy as sort of de-parliamentarisation from the bottom
upÓ. How can we use the increased motivation to participate to foster
an appreciative approach to parliamentarism? One answer is the
founding-a-village project, where teenagers discover their own
political values and those of others by learning how to justify and
negotiate them. For a founding-a-village project with ninth-graders we
changed the usual final talk show simulation into a simulation of a
debate in the Bundestag so that we could concentrate on the
polity-level of decision-making. By comparing the decision processes
in their village and the German state, the students were motivated to
discuss the central democratic concepts of pluralism, legitimacy and
efficacy in a controversial way. At the same time, some of the
students were put off by the strict rules of parliamentary debates.
What didactical conclusions can we draw from this?},
