Education
• The sociology of education is the study of how
social institutions and individual experiences
affects education and its outcome.
• It is relatively a new branch and two great
sociologist Émile Durkheim and Max Weber were
the father of sociology of education. Émile
Durkheim's work on moral education as a basis
for social solidarity is considered the beginning of
sociology of education.

Sociologists see education as one of
the major institutions that constitutes
society. While theories guide research
and policy formulation in the sociology
of education.
This theories help sociologists
understand educational systems.

Social System
• Consist of plurality of individual actors
interacting with each other with at least
physical or environmental aspect.
• Social system copes with the integration of
function by controlling its component parts.
• Cultural system performs the latency
function by providing the norms and values
that motivates them for action.
5Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello7/7/2014
Sociological Theory
• Society has two faces (Dahrendorf;
1959,1968)
• Sociological Theory should be divided into
2 parts. Conflict Theory and Consensus
Theory.
6Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello7/7/2014
Sociology

prefix :socius, "companion"; and the suffix -
ology, "the study of", from Greek lógos,
"knowledge" .

society.Sociology encompasses all the
elements of society ie social relation, social
stratification, social interaction, culture.
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 7

together in organized communities with
shared laws, traditions, and values

According to some
sociologist; society has
two faces; the face of
consensus and the face
of conflict.
Further, they emphasized
that sociological theory
should be divided into
two parts between the
consensus theory and
the conflict theory.
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 11
The proponents of consensus and
conflict sociological and social
theories are:
 Karl Marx
 Emile Durkheim
 Max Weber
 Talcott Parsons & Robert Merton
 Louis Althusser & Ralph Dahrendorf
 Herbert Mead & Herbert Blumer
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 12
Karl Marx
Marx's class theory rests on
the premise that "the history
of all hitherto existing
society is the history of
class struggles." According
to this view, ever since human
society emerged from its
primitive and relatively
undifferentiated state it has
remained fundamentally
divided between classes who
clash in the pursuit of class
interests.
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 13
Emile Durkheim
Durkheim discusses how
modern society is held
together by a division of labor
that makes individuals
dependent upon one another
because they specialize in
different types of work.
Durkheim is particularly
concerned about how the
division of labor changes the
way that individuals feel they
are part of society as a whole.
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 14
Max Weber
Max Weber believed that it
was social actions that
should be the focus of study
in sociology. To Weber, a
“social action’” was an action
carried out by an individual
to which an individual
attached a meaning.
Therefore, an action that a
person does not think
about cannot be a social
action.

Louis Althusser Ralf Dharendorf
Conflict Theory
• Emphasize the dominance of some social
groups
• Social order as based on manipulation and
control by dominant groups

disorderly fashion
• Subordinate groups overthrow dominant
groups
17Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello7/7/2014

unequal distribution of people into jobs in
society
• More powerful members of society
maintain the best positions
• Less powerful group (women, racial and
ethnic group) are allocated to lower ranks
19Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello7/7/2014
• Education plays a big part in maintaining
the prestige, power, and economic and
social position of dominant group in the
society
• Social behavior is best understood in terms
of conflict or tensions between competing
groups.
• It needs not to be violent
20Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello7/7/2014
• Emergence of conflict and what causes
conflict
• Conflict theory deals with the incompatible
aspects of society and how they clash with
one another

(family, gov’t religion, education and
media) helps to maintain the privileges of
some groups.
21Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello7/7/2014
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 22
The conflict model is
concerned with the
stresses and conflicts that
emerge in society because
of competitions over
scarce resources.
It focuses on the
inequalities that are built
into social structures
rather than on those that
emerge because of
personal characteristics.
Social Structures
produce patterns of
inequality in the
distribution of scarce
resources.
Conflict
Reorganization and Change
Consensus Theory

Structural Functionalism
Structural Functionalism states that society is made up of
various institutions that work together in cooperation.
Parsons’ structural functionalism has four functional
imperatives
also known
as AGIL
scheme.
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 27
Structural Functionalism (AGIL)
1. Adaptation – a system must cope with external situational
exigencies. It must adapt to its environment and adapt
environment to its needs.
2. Goal attainment- a system must define and achieve its
primary goals.
3. Integration- a system must regulate the interrelationship of
its component parts. It must also manage the relationship
among the other three functional imperatives (A,G,L)
4. Latency (pattern maintenance)- a system must furnish,
maintain and renew both the motivation of individuals and
the cultural patterns that create and sustain the motivation.
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 28
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 29
1. Social system must be structured so that
they operate compatibly with other
systems.
2. To survive, the social system must have
requisite from other systems.
3. The system must meet a significant
proportion of the needs of its actors.
4. The system must elicit adequate
participation from its members.
Functional Requisites of a
Social System
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 30
5. It must have at least a minimum of control
over potentially disruptive behavior.
6. If conflict becomes sufficiently disruptive, it
must be controlled.
7. Finally, a social system requires a language
in order to survive.
-Talcott Parsons
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 31
Interaction Theory
• Is the relation of school and society
are critiques and extensions of the
functionalist and conflict
perspectives.
• Interactionist theories are critiques
and extensions of the functionalist
and conflict perspectives.
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 32
This level of analysis helps us to understand
education in the “ big picture”.
Interactionist theories attempt to make the
“commonplace strange” by turning on their
heads everyday taken-for-granted behaviors
and interactions between students and
students and between students and
teachers.
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello
Basic forms of Social
Interaction
33
SOCIAL INTERACTIONISM
SYMBOLIC
INTERACTION
• Which require mental
processes.
NON-SYMBOLIC
INTERACTION
• Which does not involve
thinking.
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 34
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 35
• Symbolic interaction theory analyses society by
addressing the subjective meanings that people impose on
objects, events, and behaviours.
• Has its own origin in the social psychology of early twentieth
century sociologist George Herbert Mead and Charles
Horton Cooley.
• This school of thought, known as symbolic interactionism,
views the self as socially constructed in relation to social
forces and structures and the product of on going
negotiations of meanings.
Symbolic Interactionism
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 36
Principles of Symbolic
Interactionism
1. Human beings are endowed with the capacity
for thought.
2. The capacity for thought us shaped by social
interaction
3. In social interaction, people learn the
meanings and the symbols that allow them to
exercise their distinctively human capacity for
thought.
4. Meanings and symbols allow people to carry on
distinctively human action and interaction.
7/7/2014 Gamilla, Vinson, Sabello 37
5. People are able to modify or alter meanings and
symbols that they use in action and interaction on
the basis of their interpretation of the situation.
6. People are able to make these modifications and
alterations because, in part, of their ability to
interact with themselves, which allows them ton
examine possible courses of action, assess their
relative advantages and disadvantages, and then
choose one.
7. The intertwined patterns of action and interaction
make up groups and societies.
Important concept that has long been
used by symbolic interactionist.
•Looking-glass self
a. developed by Charles Horton Cooley
b. “We see ourselves as others see us”
