1. Know that the school is a sub-culture and
sub-society.
2. See the relation of the school to the community.
3. Identify the functions of the school in relation
to acculturation and socialization.

3. THE SCHOOL AS A
SOCIAL INSTITUTION
Another institution which also
takes care of socialization and
enculturation is the SCHOOL.
36. Functions of the Schools
36
Is a process by which the young internalize the culture of their time
and place, build the social aspects of their personality, and thus
become acceptable persons in society.
37. Functions of the Schools
37
SOCIALIZATION
The SOCIAL purposes of schooling
are to socialize into the various roles,
behaviors, and values of the society.
39. Functions of the Schools
39
The school is assuming other functions that used to belong to
the home and the church.
With many working mothers, the children often time shave no
one to turn to when they are in trouble, when they need
someone to talk to about their problems, when they need a
friend to confide in, when they need to feel a sense of
belonging and of security, when they simply need love and
affection. Teachers who act as loco parentis, serve these
needs.
Religion should be the concern of the church. While Protestant
churches hold Sunday classes for the young, the Catholic
churches do not have enough priests to say mass. In sectarian
schools, religion Is taught. Catechists teach religion in public
schools to children whose parents have given consent.
Other Functions
42. Bases of Ascribed Roles:
42
1. Sex
• Sex is evident at birth and
fixed for life.
• Sex divides people into male
and female and may be the
basis for work and behavior.
43. Bases of Ascribed Roles:
43
2. AGE
• Age which changes and
therefore prevents permanent
role and status. Adults are
expected to act differently from
children.
44. Bases of Ascribed Roles:
44
3. KIN
• Kin affects the social class to
which one belongs.
45. Bases of Ascribed Roles:
45
4. RACE
• Race is a basis for imposed
role.
46. Achieved Roles
46
Although an individual has role and status at
birth, he can work out his own role. When a
person is born, he has a definite place in
society or a location within a given social
order. This is his position which carry rights
and duties. He can rise to higher and higher
positions.
48. School as Society and Culture
▰ The school is both sub-society and sub-
culture.
▰ It is a small society within a bigger society, the
community. It has its own culture; i.e. it has its
own rules, regulations, practices, traditions,
etc.
48
49. School as Society and Culture
▰ The school and culture are very closely
interrelated. The school perpetuates culture by
transmission to the young and to foreigners. This
is done through maintenance of values or
attitudes.

and must therefore serve it.
2. The community should serve the
school.
52. The School and Community

3. The community as resource for the
school
▰ The school may function independently but use the
resources of the community in three levels.

kind of resources available in the community.
b. Participation level in which the school makes
use of the resources of the community for work
education projects.
c. Community improvement wherein the school
works on community problems and contribute to
solutions of problems.
53. KIND OF PUBLIC RELATIONS BETWEEN SCHOOL AND
COMMUNITY
53
Good public relations form the basis of the kind of
relationship between the school and the community. This may
be achieved through:
(1) clear objectives of the school, stated clearly and stressing
that school and community are working towards the same
goals;
(2) good performances in relation to objectives; and
(3) publicity of the good job being done. This is the best
relationship being done betweenschool and community.
55. Educative Effects of the Community
55
Agencies of the community that influence
the young
Effects of new inventions and discoveries
Effects of changing environment and
changing culture
New responsibilities assigned to teachers
Census takers
Election inspectors
NCEE examiners
57. Schools are evaluated from three points of view:
57
1. Point of view of physical environment.
2. Point of view of human relationship
.
3. Point of view of social climate
.
58. Educational Implications
58
1. Since the school is a very important national institution, schools
run by foreigners should be closely supervised by Dep. ED.
2. There should be better screening of teachers, not only as far as
academic qualifications are concerned, but also with reference to
character, emotional maturity, and ideology.
3. The school and the community should work together so that the
kind of graduates turned out will be leaders not only in the
academe, but also in the community.
4. The school should find out the manpower needs of the
community and give the training needs.
59. Educational Implications
59
5. The community should make the resources available to the
school and school premises should be made available to the
community.
6. The government should not always make use of teachers for
its projects as this lessens the time teachers devote to instruction.
7. Parents should be invited to school activities that will show
them what the school is doing.
8. To foster better relations between school and community.
Parents may be involved in some school projects and activities.
Hello everyone! How are you today? I hope you are doing well. Today we are going to talk about the school as a social institution. Now in this lesson were going to look at the definition of school, its function, basis of ascribed roles, achieved roles, school as society and culture, the relationship of the school and the community, educative effects of the community and evaluation of the schools.
Our objectives are
Schools can be viewed from multiple perspectives and defined in many different ways.
School is an educational institution
Designed to provide learning spaces and learning environments for the teaching of students under the direction of teachers
School is a training center develop pupils into efficient social being and
Train them to further educate the backwards member of their society
School is a spatial environment where a certain quality of life
Types of activities
And occupations are provided
With securing the child development
School is a social institution
That conserves and transmits culture to the younger generation
Molds children into well balance citizen
Who are physically strong
Mentally alert
Emotionally stable, culturally sound
And socially efficient
In the school students learn a lot from their teachers and fellow students
Because of this reality the school is a major socializing force
At first, there were no schools. Children learn from their mother’s knee. Parents were their models. Enculturation and socialization took place in the home. By the apprentice system, the sons learned the trade of the father or whatever occupation he was in. The daughters imitated the mother and were introduced into the role expected of them. As population increased and society became more complex, formal education became necessary.
The school is also responsible for socialization.
That is helping pupils find their roles and status in society and learn their forms of behavior that go with the roles and status.
Social function refer to the contribution of schools to human development and social relationship at different levels of the society as indicated in nearly all formal educational goals at the individual level schools help develop students to develop themselves psychologically, socially and physically and help them develop their potential as fully as possible. Ant to form the social environment, the teacher should establish smooth relations with the children and should communicate more and more with them. A teacher should create a high social environment in the school.
Still another function is acculturation wherein pupils learn about other countries and peoples, their way of life, customs, traditions, products, etc.
With many working mothers, the children often time shave no one to turn to when they are in trouble, when they need someone to talk to about their problems, when they need a friend to confide in, when they need to feel a sense of belonging and of security, when they simply need love and affection. Teachers who act as loco parentis, serve these needs.
Religion should be the concern of the church. While Protestant churches hold Sunday classes for the young, the Catholic churches do not have enough priests to say mass. In sectarian schools, religion Is taught. Catechists teach religion in public schools to children whose parents have given consent.
An ascribed role is a social identity or title that is given to a person based on factors they have no influence over like sex, age, kin or race.
Not long time ago, there were certain occupations chiefly for women and certain occupations for men. Women were band for such callings as mining engineer, geologist, archeologist, navy, army, and air force. Today in civilized society, where women’s lib is accepted, all occupations are open to women except the priesthood. In primitive society, there will exists a dividing line between man and woman’s work.
Society also dictates different behavior of males and females. While aggressive behavior is admired in man, it is condoned in women. While a boy may climb trees, it is unlady- like for a girl to do so. Often times. A girl is admonished not to walk with swift strides like a man, but to be gentle in conduct and manners Courtship is supposed to be initiated by the man, not the woman.
A child may have a temper tantrum when frustrated, but not a grown-up person who is supposed to be emotionally mature. It is natural for a child to cry when he is refused a bar of chocolate, but not for an adult.
The child of a judge or a government official belongs to a higher social class, is hoped to be more disciplined than one whose father, than a carpenter, or garbage collector. People belonging to the upper class are expected to be better behaved, to be more refined and speech and manners, and to be models worthy of emulation.
Not long ago, in the United States, the white race and the black race differed in status. There were different schools for the blacks and the whites. In buses, the whites sat in front while the blacks at the back. A law desegregated schools, and opened public places to white and blacks, alike. Today there is supposed to be no more class distinction between the two races. Ethnic groups like the Japanese, Chinese, Filipinos, Mexicans, who migrated to the United States, are rated lower than the white race.
