Description
This comprehensive textbook explores the fundamental principles of sociology and its significance in understanding how ideas about education have evolved over time. By examining sociological perspectives, students can critically evaluate hotly contested debates in education and consider the influences that shape different viewpoints.
The second edition has been updated to include two new chapters on early approaches to sociological research and social class, as well as a new case study feature throughout the book. This enhanced coverage includes recent topics such as education policy, child poverty, political extremism, and the politics of independent and grammar schools.
