3. Theories on sociology of education
Bourdieu’s (1984) theory of praxis, the social
world consists of the history of accumulation.
Education as a part of social and cultural
reproduction is linked to cultural capital
(capital based on students’ social settings
and opportunities that provide knowledge of
the world derived from live experiences) and
subsequent social differences between
students.
Social capital refers to the social resources
and family networks students bring to their
educations that affect their opportunities and
achievement. working-class students
4. In Coleman’s (1988) view, in the formation of human capital,
social capital based on trust and community (e.g. school’s
relationship with students’ families and communities) plays a
central role.
According to Vygotsky’s sociocultural approach to cognition,
learning is dependent on the
interaction between the learner and the social environment,
and this includes peers, as well as parents and teachers.
Demanet and Van Houtte (2011) add to the analysis of
interaction by discussing misconduct in schools and the
causes of feelings of futility in students in and out of their
school environments.
Mickelson discusses gender differences in interaction in
classrooms for boys and girls and how these differences
affect their experiences (Mickelson, 2012).
5. Paulo Freire
In Latin America, political sociology
of education, influenced by the
Brazilian Paulo Freire, is the major
field. Freire (1921–97) – ‘the best
known educator of our time’
(Gerhardt, 1993: 439)
He has influenced research and
policies in literacy acquisition,
education as liberation and
transformative adult education,
and educational inequality
He was banished from Brazil
His influence has been spread to
many fields around the world
6. Methods on sociology of education
research
Students are nested in classrooms, and classrooms in schools, and schools
within other boundaries, such as school districts or countries, there was
recognition of the possibility of what was called ‘contextual effects’, but
there were no efficient methods through which these effects could be
studied
The early processes of observation, participative observation, and the
content study of documents have expanded to include both biographical
and narrative methods.
In many ways, these techniques have provided more in-depth and sensitive
understandings of how students, teachers and administrators attribute
meanings and understanding to the day-to-day life of teaching and
learning at all levels.
