| Summary |
A sociological perspective on education has become an accepted part of teacher education and with the establishment of sociology departments in the newer universities, sociology of education courses have found a place along with other specialities like the sociology of law. The major aim of this text is to provide a theoretically sound analysis of fundamental features of Australian society and the institution of education for both education and non education oriented students. The text is divided into four parts of three chapters each. Part I, Sociology, Education and Society; Part II, Social Structure and Education; Part III, The Social Organization of the School; and Part IV, Social Control, Social Change and Education. Each part examines a range of concepts, theories and methodologies as an approach to understanding Australian society and education |
