  • Methodological Transactionalism and the Sociology of Education Daniel A
    Methodological Transactionalism and the Sociology of Education Daniel A. McFarland, David Diehl and Craig Rawlings (Stanford University) Abstract: The development and spread of research methods in sociology can be understood as a story about the increasing sophistication of tools in order to better answer fundamental disciplinary questions. In this chapter we argue that recent developments, related to both increased computing power and data collection ability along with broader cultural shifts emphasizing interdependencies, have positioned Social Network Analysis (SNA) as a powerful tool for empirically studying the dynamic and processual view of schooling that is at the heart of educational theory. More specifically, we explore how SNA can help us both better understand as well as reconceptualize two central topics in the sociology of education: classroom interaction and status attainment. We conclude with a brief discussion about possible future directions network analysis may take in educational research, positing that it will become an increasingly valuable research approach because our ability to collect streaming behavioral and transactional data is growing rapidly. INTRODUCTION In recent years Social Network Analysis (SNA) has become increasingly common in numerous sociological sub-disciplines, the result being a host of innovative research that tackles old and new problems alike. Students of the sociology of knowledge, for example, use networks of journal co-citations as a novel method for tracking the diffusion of new ideas through the academy (e.g., Hargens 2000; Moody 2004). Political sociologists are drawing on SNA to understand the dynamics of collective action (Diani 1995; Tarrow 1994). Organizational sociologists use formal and informal work networks to study organizational learning (Hansen 1999; Rawlings et.al.

  • Introduction to Sociology of Education (SOED-GE.2002)
    Introduction to Sociology of Education (SOED-GE.2002) NEW YORK UNIVERSITY, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Sociology and Education Program Fall 2015 | Thursdays 9:00-10:40am | Silver 403 | Professor: Catherine Kramarczuk Voulgarides, Ph.D. Office: 726 Broadway, 5th Floor | Office Hours: By appointment | [email protected] | COURSE DESCRIPTION: This graduate seminar is focused on providing students with a thorough and detailed introduction to key concepts and ideas in sociology of education. We will explore how social theory relates to education. In the course we will think critically about the intersections between theory and practice. In addition, schools do not solely have inputs (students) and outputs (an educated person). Many social processes and sorting occur both within and across schools. These processes influence patterns of social stratification, inequality and inequities. Throughout the course we will consider questions like the following: 1. How do social markers of difference-- such as race, class, language status, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, ability—affect, or relate to, the schooling process and educational outcomes? 2. What role does the organizational, legal and political environment have on the process of schooling? 3. How does social context and social structure influence the process of schooling? 4. How are formal and informal relationships organized within schools, and what are the consequences for students’ learning and identities? 5. To what extent, and in what ways, do schools promote equal opportunity, and to what extent, and in what ways, do schools reproduce prevailing patterns of power, privilege, and hierarchy?

  • What Is Sociology of Education? Theoretical Perspectives
    CHAPTER 1 What Is Sociology of Education? Theoretical Perspectives whole new perspective on schools and education lies in the study of sociology of education. How sociologists understand education can contribute to informed decision making and A change in educational institutions. Sociologists of education focus on interactions between people, structures that provide recurring organizations, and processes that bring the structures such as schools alive through teaching, learning, and communicating. As one of the major structural parts, or institutions, in society, education is a topic of interest to many sociologists. Some work in university departments teaching sociology or education, others work in government agencies, and still others do research and advise school administrators. Whatever their role, sociologistsdistribute of education provide valu- able insights into the interactions, structures, and processes of educational systems. Sociologists of education examine many parts of educational systems, from interactions, classroom dynamics, and peer groups to school organizations and national and internationalor systems of education. Consider some of the following questions of interest to sociologists of education: What classroom and school settings are best for learning? How do peers affect children’s achievement and ambitions? What classroom structures are most effective for children from different backgrounds? How do schools reflect the neighborhoods in which they are located? Does education “reproduce” the social class of students, and what effect does this have on children’spost, futures? What is the relationship between educa- tion, religion, and political systems? How does access to technology affect students’ learning and prepa- ration for the future? How do nations compare on international educational tests? Is there a global curriculum? These are just a sampling of the many questions that make up the broad mandate for sociology of education, and it is a fascinating one.

  • CHAPTER FIVE the SOCIOLOGY of EDUCATION Richard Waller
    CHAPTER FIVE THE SOCIOLOGY OF EDUCATION Richard Waller [This chapter is based upon components of my sociology of education teaching at the University of the West of England, some of which was previously taught by my ex- colleague Arthur Baxter, to whom a debt is owed for various materials and ideas expressed here. I do, however, take full responsibility for any errors and omissions!] Learning Objectives By the end of this chapter you should be able to: 1. Explain how sociology can aid our understanding of educational processes and systems 2. Demonstrate an understanding of the key concepts and theoretical approaches in the sociology of education and how they have changed over time 3. Developed an awareness of social context, of social diversity and inequality and their impact on educational processes and outcomes 4. Explain in sociological terms why different social groups achieve differential outcomes from engaging with education 5. Outline an understanding of the nature and appropriate use of research strategies and methods in gaining knowledge in the sociology of education Introduction: Why Study the Sociology of Education? When studying the sociology of education it soon becomes apparent there is an inevitable overlap with most if not all of the disciplinary focus of this book’s other chapters. We cannot examine the sociology of education without understanding its history, and the politics, economics, philosophy and psychology underpinning it. The notion of comparing education systems and peoples’ experiences of engaging with them across societies and within a given society over time is central to this process as well. This overlap is illustrated by reference to some of the key researchers and theorists cited in this chapter.

  • Social Darwinism in Anglophone Academic Journals: a Contribution to the History of the Term
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Hertfordshire Research Archive Published in the Journal of Historical Sociology, 17(4), December 2004, pp. 428-63. Social Darwinism in Anglophone Academic Journals: A Contribution to the History of the Term GEOFFREY M. HODGSON ‘Social Darwinism, as almost everyone knows, is a Bad Thing.’ Robert C. Bannister (1979, p. 3) Abstract This essay is a partial history of the term ‘Social Darwinism’. Using large electronic databases, it is shown that the use of the term in leading Anglophone academic journals was rare up to the 1940s. Citations of the term were generally disapproving of the racist or imperialist ideologies with which it was associated. Neither Herbert Spencer nor William Graham Sumner were described as Social Darwinists in this early literature. Talcott Parsons (1932, 1934, 1937) extended the meaning of the term to describe any extensive use of ideas from biology in the social sciences. Subsequently, Richard Hofstadter (1944) gave the use of the term a huge boost, in the context of a global anti-fascist war. ***** A massive 1934 fresco by Diego Rivera in Mexico City is entitled ‘Man at the Crossroads’. To the colorful right of the picture are Diego’s chosen symbols of liberation, including Karl Marx, Vladimir Illych Lenin, Leon Trotsky, several young female athletes and the massed proletariat. To the darker left of the mural are sinister battalions of marching gas-masked soldiers, the ancient statue of a fearsome god, and the seated figure of a bearded Charles Darwin.

  • Assessment Practices and Their Impact on Home Economics Education In
    Assessment practices and their impact on home economics education in Ireland Kathryn McSweeney B.Ed., M. Ed. (T.C.D.) Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Stirling Faculty of Education December 2014 Abstract This study was prompted by an interest in the extent to which the aims of home economics education in Ireland are being served by the assessment carried out at a national level. This interest led to an empirical investigation of key stakeholders’ perceptions of the validity of home economics assessment and a critical evaluation of its impact on teaching and learning. The data collection primarily comprised interviews with a selection of teachers and other key people such as students, teacher educators and professional home economists; and a complementary analysis of curriculum and design of Junior and Leaving Certificate home economics assessments during the period 2005- 2014. The analysis of interview data combined with the curriculum and assessment analyses revealed the compounding impact and washback effect of home economics assessments on student learning experience and outcomes. This impact was reflected in several areas of the findings including an evident satisfaction among the respondents with junior cycle assessment, due to the perceived appropriateness of the assessment design and operational arrangements, and dissatisfaction with curriculum and assessment arrangements at senior cycle as they were considered to be inappropriate and negatively impacting on the quality of learning achieved. The respondents candidly pointed to what they considered to be an acceptance by some teachers of unethical behaviour around the completion of journal tasks.

Irregular shaped centimeter- to 19 decimeter-sized mineralized pods and veins consist of zoned mineral assemblages dominated by 20 fluorbritholite-(Ce) in a grey-colored core up to 10 cm thick, with monazite-(Ce), fluorite, and 1 21 minor quartz, uraninite, and sulfides. The core zone is surrounded by a black, typically 22 millimeter-thick allanite-(Ce) rim, with minor monazite-(Ce) in the inner part of that rim. 23 Bastnäsite-(Ce), törnebohmite-(Ce) and cerite-(Ce) appear in a thin intermediate zone between 24 core and rim, often just a few hundreds of μm wide. Electron microprobe analyses show that the 25 overall REE content increases from rim to core with a disproportionate increase of heavy REE 26 (ΣHREE increases 10-fold from 0.2 to 2.1%) compared to light REE (ΣLREE increases 2-fold from 27 21.3 to 44.3%).
