Toward a Sociology of Education Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Out of stock

Description

By including material from literary, philosophical, and anthropological sources, and by selecting readings which consider educational practice both within and beyond formal educational contexts, this book broadens the character of sociological inquiry in education.

The editors bring together material they have found valuable when working with students of education and^sociology at all levels.

Many of these articles and extracts are either inaccessible or have not been reprinted.

The collection should stimulate inquiry about the assumptions underlying current debates on curriculum, streaming, school organization, methods of teaching, and preconceived notions of ability.Toward a Sociology of Education develops an alternative theoretical approach to and engages in critical dialogue with mainstream sociology, and also points to other theoretical and practical probabilities.
