For this purpose, the researchers conducted a list of democratic values, and developed three units of teaching in the light of this system. The democratic values that have been relied upon were to develop the civic participation of the tenth grade students, the political participation among the ninth grade students, and the skills of peace among the eighth grade students.

After processing the data statistically by (ANCOVA) , the results showed a statistically significant difference at the level of significance (a ≤ 0.05) due to the variable of the group in all the tests, and the differences were in favor of the three experimental groups which received the developed units in the three classes.
