Bakan points:

- merit (capacity, intelligence, effort, discipline, sacrifice)
- qualification (certifications, titles and credentials)
- formal education is the mean to obtain merit and qualification
- possibilities depend on preferences and capacities
- and capacities are randomly distributed
Education as distributor of social positions [Granados Martínez, A. (2003) Las funciones
sociales de la escuela. At Fernández Palomares, F. Sociología de la educación. Pearson, Madrid 117-141]
The distribution
of social positions
Is done through competences sanctioned by means of a
complex system of certificates, titles and credentials.
This mechanism is institutionalized in western
societies by means of universal, free and compulsory
education, which “guarantees” equality of
opportunity for all the population and pivots on:
The above implies the primacy of acquired status (due to merit)
over
inherited filiation or ascribed status (due to birth)

History of school organization [Gómez Ferri, J. y Soler Panadés, V. 2011 Sociología del currículo
y de la organización escolar. At Beltrán, J. and Hernàndez, F.J. Sociología de la educación, McGraw-Hill,
Madrid,101-128]
Bureaucratic
organization M. Weber
Technocratic
model of
organization
Taylorism and Fordism
The School of
Human Relations
E. Mayo
Specialization (responsibilities, functions and tasks),
hierarchy (control system), rules (written and impersonal)
recruitment (merit and ability) [in school is evident in
legislation, administration, specialization, regulations,
discipline, schedules, and less than hierarchy or
impersonality]
(Post)modern
period
Scientific management via fragmentation of the
production process in its most basic elements increasing
efficiency, control and alienation.
[inertia of the past in terms repetition mechanism and
looking for a similar type of school product, rigidity of
hours, detailed planning and measurement (PISA)]
The SHR found that the performance of workers, rather
than the whole organization, the hierarchy, the control or
the wage increase was related to the incentives and
social norms of the groups within the organization,
especially relations among individuals within groups
[informal groups, democratic schools]
Calls for bridging less
hierarchical relationships,
reduced specialization,
adaptability and flexibility.
From the work by objectives to
competences

Critical views on education [Granados Martínez, A. (2003) Las funciones sociales de la escuela. At
Fernández Palomares, F. Sociología de la educación. Pearson, Madrid 117-141]
Bowles and Gintis see a correspondence between the
social relations in the school and those required in
employment (obedience, discipline, respect) and
students lack of control over the content and rewards
Credentialist
(neo-Weberian)
Moderate see credentials not so much a guarantee of
specific knowledge but as a testimonial of personal
characteristics and disposition such as effort, discipline,
obedience, or organization capacity
Extreme see credentials like pedigree that act
as a symbol of power and are the key to
access reserved positions
What do critics say about school as a
distributor of social positions

The functions of the school

  • 1. The functions of the school Daniel Gabaldón-Estevan Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology, University of Valencia (ES)
  • 2. 2 guard and custody Changes in the families Urbanization and migrations Women emancipation retention Delayed working age social cohesion national identity construction Homogenization Standardization Centralization Secularization Bureaucratization Language Culture Legal framework Market (monetary and measurement systems) History and common referents capacitation and socialization for labour (Human Capital theory) distribution of social positions Functions The functions of the school [Granados Martínez, A. (2003) Las funciones sociales de la escuela. At Fernández Palomares, F. Sociología de la educación. Pearson, Madrid 117-141]
  • 3. Patriarchy: political & economic unit Industrialization causes privacy and new institutions (like the school system) Specialization in the socialization & breeding of children and gender differentiation (public/private) (T. Parsons) Generalized presence of women: labour market & education system (feminism) Changes in the families [Obiol, S. 2011 El cambio familiar y el proceso educativo in Beltrán, J. & Hernàndez, FJ. Sociología de la educación. McGraw-Hill, Madrid. 75-99]
  • 4. 4 Childhood theorist Jean-Jacques Rousseau l’Emilio (1762) Karl Marx Adolescence theorist G. Stanley Hall Adolescence (1904) Margaret Mead Coming of Age in Samoa Childhood The emergence of childhood [Feito, R. 2003. Alumnado. At Fernández Palomares, F. (coord.) Sociología de la educación. Pearson, Madrid 333-356] Bakan points: children labor legislation, compulsory school and legal age
  • 5. 5 - merit (capacity, intelligence, effort, discipline, sacrifice) - qualification (certifications, titles and credentials) - formal education is the mean to obtain merit and qualification - possibilities depend on preferences and capacities - and capacities are randomly distributed Education as distributor of social positions [Granados Martínez, A. (2003) Las funciones sociales de la escuela. At Fernández Palomares, F. Sociología de la educación. Pearson, Madrid 117-141] The distribution of social positions Is done through competences sanctioned by means of a complex system of certificates, titles and credentials. This mechanism is institutionalized in western societies by means of universal, free and compulsory education, which “guarantees” equality of opportunity for all the population and pivots on: The above implies the primacy of acquired status (due to merit) over inherited filiation or ascribed status (due to birth)
  • 6. 6 History of school organization [Gómez Ferri, J. y Soler Panadés, V. 2011 Sociología del currículo y de la organización escolar. At Beltrán, J. and Hernàndez, F.J. Sociología de la educación, McGraw-Hill, Madrid,101-128] Bureaucratic organization M. Weber Technocratic model of organization Taylorism and Fordism The School of Human Relations E. Mayo Specialization (responsibilities, functions and tasks), hierarchy (control system), rules (written and impersonal) recruitment (merit and ability) [in school is evident in legislation, administration, specialization, regulations, discipline, schedules, and less than hierarchy or impersonality] (Post)modern period Scientific management via fragmentation of the production process in its most basic elements increasing efficiency, control and alienation. [inertia of the past in terms repetition mechanism and looking for a similar type of school product, rigidity of hours, detailed planning and measurement (PISA)] The SHR found that the performance of workers, rather than the whole organization, the hierarchy, the control or the wage increase was related to the incentives and social norms of the groups within the organization, especially relations among individuals within groups [informal groups, democratic schools] Calls for bridging less hierarchical relationships, reduced specialization, adaptability and flexibility. From the work by objectives to competences
  • 9. 9 Critical views on education [Granados Martínez, A. (2003) Las funciones sociales de la escuela. At Fernández Palomares, F. Sociología de la educación. Pearson, Madrid 117-141] Bowles and Gintis see a correspondence between the social relations in the school and those required in employment (obedience, discipline, respect) and students lack of control over the content and rewards Credentialist (neo-Weberian) Moderate see credentials not so much a guarantee of specific knowledge but as a testimonial of personal characteristics and disposition such as effort, discipline, obedience, or organization capacity Extreme see credentials like pedigree that act as a symbol of power and are the key to access reserved positions What do critics say about school as a distributor of social positions
