This study aimed to investigate the role of the secondary school in
instilling in its students the culture of democracy and democratic behavior
in the light of the democratic transformation of the Jordanian society from
their perspectives. The study investigated the differences between students’
perceptions in light of the study variables. The study sample consisted of
(1372) students. The survey questionnaire consisted of two domains: (the
culture of democracy) and (the democratic behavior) . To achieve the
objectives of the study the descriptive survey approach was used. Results
of the study showed that the degree of the respondents’ average responses
on the role of high school in instilling in them the culture of democracy was
“high”, whereas, the degree of their responses on the role of high school in
helping them acquire democratic behavior was “medium”. The study also
revealed that there are no statistically significant differences between the
respondents’ average responses in the culture of democracy domain that can
be attributed to the variable of gender and the education authority. Whereas,
there are statistically significant differences between the respondents’ average
responses in the culture of democracy domain that can be attributed to their
academic stream in the secondary school variable in favor of the literary
stream students. There are statistically significant differences between the
respondents’ average responses in the democratic behavior domain that
can be attributed to the variable of gender in favor of the females and in
the academic stream in favor of the literary stream students. There are
no statistically significant differences between the respondents’ average
responses in the democratic behavior domain that can be attributed to the
variable of the education authority.
Keywords: culture of democracy, democratic behavior, democratic
