The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not there has been a change in the use of democratic values in textbooks in social science for classes 4-6. The focus lies on democratic values from two different theoretical perspectives, Dahl’s theory of democracy and Habermas deliberative democracy. The method used is a text analysis based on a model made by Lennart Hellspong. The material we’ve analysed consists of four textbooks in social science from different decades, with a range from 1981 until today. The results of the analysis shows that there has been a change, although the results differ slightly depending on which definition of democratic values being used.
