Abstract

Democracy conveys justice, equality, and inclusivity. Understanding democracy involves a long process of learning about egalitarian values and rights. Young children are the future subjects of democracy and potential agents of egalitarian society. Thus, the values of democracy should be introduced as early as possible to build a comprehensive understanding of justice and equality in future generations. Democracy in early childhood education (ECE) has drawn western scholars attention in the past view years. In Indonesian context, research about democracy in ECE is very limited due to exclusive assumption that democracy is an adult subject. This article analyses existing literature about democracy in early childhood education. It investigates the theoretical framework and methodology used in the related research to develop insights to start researching democracy in Indonesian early childhood education.
