Comprehensive, contemporary, and
cross-cultural in perspective, this book
provides a
sociological approach to education-- from
several theoretical
approaches and their
practical application, to current educational issues, to the structure and processes that make education systems work.
Using an open systems model as a framework, it shows the formal organization of schools with structure, goals and processes; the informal organization with hidden curriculum, organization climate, etc.; the external environment that influences what goes on in the school, including financing, parent(s), community interest groups, etc.; processes such as stratification and change; higher education. Diagrams show interrelationships between topics.
For educators and anyone interested in the sociology of education and schools..
