Abstract

We think that one of the key points for the acquisition and later dissemination of the theory of political culture is the provision of various material and organizational bases. In other words, we are referring to the principal agents of socialization, who are actors who reproduce and transmit values, attitudes or behaviors to citizens. The aim of this article is to understand the type of political culture portrayed in Education textbooks for citizenship and  human rights approved in Spain.

Keywords: political culture, textbooks, education for citizenship, participation, citizenship
