Question

State with practical examples the relationship between sociology and Education

Answer 1

Answer:

Relationship between Education and Sociology

Emile Durkheim was the first person who indicated the need for a sociological approach to education. He considered education “to be essentially social in character and in its functions and that as a result the theory of education relates more clearly to sociology than any other science.” He emphasized that education is not a static phenomenon, but a dynamic and ever-changing process.

Educational sociology is a discipline which studies education sociologically, with the premise that it recognizes education as a social fact, a process and an institution, having a social function and being determined socially. Educational sociology could appear only when it accepted the social nature of education.
