Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fundamentals of Sociology: With Special Emphasis Upon Community and Educational Problems It may seem presumptuous for a specialist from another field to attempt to outline for young students the essentials in this field, with its immense literature of facts, researches, theories, and speculations, from which is just emerging the new science of sociology that must be the basis of all successful social reforms. Yet freedom from having dwelt on details is an advantage rather than a disadvantage in getting and presenting a general view of a subject. Again, sociology both scientific and practical, has been a subject of interest to the author for more than a quarter of a century, during which time he has been gaining clearer ideas without having them fixed by any one school of thought. Becoming convinced that sociology may be of as much value to education as psychology, he prepared a course which he has given to his own students and to students in summer sessions at the Universities of West Virginia and of Vermont. The response of those students, both elementary and advanced, confirmed his belief in the value of the subject and gave some confidence in the suitability of his presentation for promoting scientific and practical thinking and research in sociological lines. No attempt has been made at completeness of treatment of any topic, but no effort has been spared to reveal the fundamental influences affecting group life and action in its earlier beginnings and in present-day life.

Download or read book Sociological Foundations of Education written by Claire Maxwell and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2023-03-23 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume introduces sociology as a foundational discipline of education. Education is a central structuring mechanism in shaping societies, making it a core focus for sociology. Sociologists study education in its broadest sense – as occurring within families, communities and provided by institutions. The purposes of formal education are contested and these contestations shape broader power relations locally, nationally and globally. Sociologists disaggregate processes within education to examine empirically and theoretically the various levels at which they operate. This allows them to describe and make sense of the ways that relations of inequality are developed, reproduced or unsettled and how these shape individual and group experiences and outcomes. About the Educational Foundations series: Education, as an academic field taught at universities around the world, emerged from a range of older foundational disciplines. The Educational Foundations series comprises six volumes, each covering one of the foundational disciplines of philosophy, history, sociology, policy studies, economics and law. This is the first reference work to provide an authoritative and up-to-date account of all six disciplines, showing how each field's ideas, methods, theories and approaches can contribute to research and practice in education today. The six volumes cover the same set of key topics within education, which also form the chapter titles: - Mapping the Field - Purposes of Education - Curriculum - Schools and Education Systems - Learning and Human Development - Teaching and Teacher Education - Assessment and Evaluation This structure allows readers to study the volumes in isolation, by discipline, or laterally, by topic, and facilitates a comparative, thematic reading of chapters across the volumes. Throughout the series, attention is paid to how the disciplines comprising the educational foundations speak to social justice concerns such as gender and racial equality.
