Abstract
This systematic review examines the relationship between post-truth, opinion formation, political impact, and democratic participation among young people in primary and secondary educational institutions. It seeks to understand the current debate on the impact of social media on opinion formation and the development of judgments for democratic participation within educational communities, analyzing articles from countries such as Australia, the United States, England, Russia, Latin America, the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, Korea, and China.
The reviewed studies (22 articles indexed in Scopus, 7 in ERIC, and 1 in Scielo) highlight the importance of training teachers to critically address fake news and post-truth, both considered threats to democracy and education. They examine the incidence of post-truth on democratic participation within educational institutions, provide an overview of post-truth, including its definition and implications for society and education, and emphasize the need to address it through critical training as well as media and technological literacy.
