QUESTION 1
Functionalism is one of the major theories in Sociology of education.
Provide a brief explanation of what Sociology of education as discipline entails. (Page 4)
(10)
, The sociology of education is concerned with how people's experiences impact how they
engage with schooling. The sociology of education, in particular, investigates how people'
experiences influence their educational success and results. Sociology of education is the
sociological study of educational systems, processes, and practices. It is a fundamental field
within the subject of sociology. However, it is also regarded a part of the educational discipline.
As a result, sociology of education is defined as the scientific study of social processes and
social patterns in the educational system. This implies it is utilized to improve knowledge of the
interaction between educational institutions and society at both the micro and macro levels.
(Saha, 2008: 300):
• At a micro level, researchers seek to identify how variation in school practices, for example,
different teaching methods, leads to differences in student performance.
• At a macro level, sociologists work to identify how various social forces, such as politics,
economics and culture, create variation in schools as organizations.
Education sociology is the study of how public institutions and individual experiences influence
education and its consequences. It is primarily concerned with modern industrial civilizations'
public educational systems, including the rise of higher, further, adult, and continuing
education.
What makes sociology of education unique is that it finally treats education at a level of
abstraction that is primarily concerned with the social institutions of education, from peer
groups through classes and schools, to the educational system addressing institutional
compositions, structures, methods, philosophies, and functions, but not dismissing the
interdependence of education and other society institutions such as economic, political, and
governmental authorities.
