  • In this article, I argue that the social studies methods course is an appropriate place to practice and reflect upon doing democracy. I review the literature on kinds of citizens the methods course might support. I consider pre-service teachers' prior and present experiences with doing democracy. I pose a framework for doing democracy centered on processes of investigation, deliberation, service learning, and social action. Strategies for doing democracy in social studies methods are described and critiqued, and new possibilities are suggested.
