Problems in educational sociology

Designed for students of educational sociology, this book presents a series of problems. Each problem deals with a specific scenario, designed to give definition and direction to thoughts regarding solutions. There follows a case, illustrating the problem so as to prompt reflection on the principles of educational sociology that could be applicable. A group of discussion questions follows, and sources of further specific readings are listed at end of each of the problems. Completion of the problems should allow students to clearly grasp the meaning of education, the meaning of sociology, the intimate relationship between the two, their relationship to other social sciences, and the type of social problems that are amenable to solutions involving both education and sociology.
