The purpose of this study was to examine obstacles in the implementation of democratic civil education in schools and to draw up measures to enhance the competence of teachers who play an important role in implementing democratic civil education. To accomplish this purpose, a group interview was conducted with teachers, and the results of the study were as follows. The obstacle to democratic civil education is, first, they have fear of changing their teaching styles and of sharing their classes with other co-teachers. Second, as fellow teachers on different paths, democratic civic education is often carried out in isolation without systematic support or assistance from fellow teachers, and there are some teachers who do not agree or even oppose the need for democratic civil education. Third, as teachers who look at students as objects of control, many teachers still tend to treat students as subjects of control rather than subject to education. Fourth, with the yet-to-be-changed school culture, the relationship between principals, teachers and students is formed by vertical and rigid relations, so there is no culture where opinions can be shared and consulted through discussion. Among the common competence shown by teachers practicing democratic civic education were first, communication ability, second, respect for human rights and guarantee students self-participation, and third, ability to establish relationships with students and fellow teachers.
