Abstract | The book presents a comprehensive review of the most recent and important social theory and research concerning modern educational systems. It analyzes the social functions of education in modern, commercial society. ... Chapter 1 studies the modern world in transition, harkening back to the work of the great sociologists and psychologists of the 19th and early 20th centuries. Chapter 2 examines the social functions of schooling in modern society and links education to other sectors of commercial life. Chapter 3 presents the evidence for the relationship that appears to exist between the family background of students and their success or failure in schools. Chapter 4 discusses educational knowledge as a socially constructed body of learning containing strong elements of ideology and propaganda in it. Chapter 5 analyzes the sociology of school curriculum and its relation to institutions of higher learning and the labour market. The role of school teachers is discussed in chapter 6, along with differences that exist between their self-perceptions and the way they are viewed by the public. Chapter 7 analyzes schools as bureaucracies, relating them to the rise of the modern representative governments ... Chapter 8 describes the social relations that develop in the classroom life; and chapter 9 investigates the social and psychological consequences of present-day instructional practices. Chapter 10 sums up the condition of educational systems as they operate in commercial society; and chapter 11 provides the reader with the problems and possibilities for school reform we prepare to enter the twenty-first century.
