The document discusses key concepts in sociology of education including social systems, sociological theories, and prominent theorists. It divides sociological theories into two parts - consensus theory, which focuses on social order and integration, and conflict theory, which examines social inequality and power struggles. The major theorists discussed are Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber. Marx's class theory centers on class struggles. Durkheim explores how modern society is held together by division of labor. Weber defines social action as an action that is meaningful to the actor.
