Compare the three different sets of classroom expectations and assesses whether they align with the school-wide positive behavior matrix

Durkheim argued that society needed a sense of solidarity, that is, its individual members must feel that they are part of a single group or community, reinforcing this statement with how social life and co-operation would be impossible without social solidarity as each individual would pursue their own selfish desires instead of working together to reach an agreement on important things. In his eyes the education system helped to create solidarity by transmitting society’s culture, shared beliefs and values from one generation to the next. For example, he argues that if a country’s history was taught, a sense of shared heritage and a commitment to wider social groups would be gradually established or instilled in the minds of children.

Emile Durkheim, a functionalist’s view of education is that it teaches us the norms and value of society. Education helps to unite all the individuals of society which creates a sense of belonging and commitment to that

Educational Researcher by Gloria Ladson-Billings looked into the ratio between education and achievement and what the gap was between them and how to fix it. According to an interview with strict economist Professor Emeritus Robert Haveman of the University of Wisconsin’s Department of Economics he makes it clear by stating that “ In order to reduce the debt or gap in one being achievement you must then close the gap of the other being education” Ladson-Billings also goes on to recognize the parallel between not only your economic status when it comes to education but how well your parents did before you among many other things including your health along with your overall well being playing a factor into your education ( Ladson-Billings, Oct 2006, P 5). Additionally the first teachers of a student are their parents whom in the home are responsible for teaching their children the basic fundamentals they must adhere to within society in order to navigate throughout life.Thus giving them many opportunities to experience cultural and life development (Wilburn, Smith & Hill-Carter, 2013, P 242). This research ties into chapter three of our book where education is discussed and one such topic that Michael’s remarks upon would be annual family incomes and how depending on what is made shows what the students of the

“It seems to me that education has a two-fold function in the life of man and in society: the one is utility and the other is culture” (King, 1947).

In “From Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work,” Anyon compares low-class schools and high-class schools. She argues that poor schools are “usually mechanical” and involve “rote behavior and very little decision making or choice” (Anyon 140). In short, she feels teachers are educating younger students, especially in primary school, exactly the same and are given no freedom to make choices that affect their education. On the other hand, Anyon believes that wealthy schools are “developing [a student’s] analytical intellectual powers” and “produc[ing] intellectual products that are both logically sound and of top academic quality” (Anyon 148). In contrast to lower class schools, upper-class schools are effectively teaching students to become the “teachers” and leaders in

The role of education is to educate individuals within society and to prepare and qualify them for work in the economy as well as helping to integrate individuals into society and teach them the norms, values and morals of society. Yet there are three sociological theories that differ greatly between them on the role of education. These are Functionalism, Marxism and Liberalism.

He believes that it consists of teachers having the most important role in altering the consciousness of their students. Accommodating them towards an acceptance of reality and, by insinuation, an acceptance of hegemony. Through social learning Althusser argues a Capitalist class is able to make sure the reproduction of Capitalism and its political leadership over time. Which is necessary in order for society to function

The relation between the study of how people act towards each other and education is a subject of debate. One idea says education is meant to overcome where two things are not the same. Whereas other says the most important function of education is helping to increase balance status of good people in the world and to maintain inequality whatever state it comes in. I will focus on three areas that affects the educations of Socialogy. The first area is Structural Functionalism.

In order for a society to function, individuals must be productive members of that society. This is accomplished through education. The philosophy of education is determined by society. As society changes so does the concept of education.

Functionalist one of the “theories” of sociology are mainly concerned with the function of education to society and to seek solution to the following questions, “what is the relevance of education to the social system and “what are the relationship between education and economic system”.

In this essay, will be explaining and comparing the social perspectives Functionalism and Marxism. Functionalism is a theory that aspect stresses the crucial stability and participation within modern society. The social events are clarified by reference to the functions that achieves in allowing constancy within society. Functionalism state that education helps the needs of industrial society by an advanced labour, education helps the needs of the social system by teaching pupils communal values, norms and beliefs. This leads to great social solidarity. The education means those who have the skill that can move up the social classes, such as meritocracy. Parson believes that education is part of a meritocracy and education is a subordinate agent of socialisation between the family and society. Parson also believes that education impress the beliefs of competition, equality and individualism. Furthermore, in a meritocracy every person is given equality of opportunity. The achievements and rewards also are based on power and ability. The education explains social dissimilarity; those in the best roles are there because they prove to be due to their hard work and ability. In addition, Parson supported by Duncan with in these views and Duncan believe that a modern economy depends for its prosperity on using the human capital and its workers and skills. The meritocratic education system does this best.

Karl Marx, is a German political philosopher. Jean (2011) documented that he developed the historic materialism relates social formation to the modes of production. He divide the society into two components, the superstructure and the base structure. The superstructure, contains family, media, politics etc regulates, control and monitor the base structure which includes relation and means of production; the base structure offer life necessities and support the superstructure. School is an institution that is placed at the intermediate position integrated with these social relations. Therefore, to explore the roles of education in this form of society, we need

Teachers play a pivotal role in shaping the behaviour and educational success of students and as such they carry a huge responsibility in the classroom. Everything the teacher says or do has a great impact on students’ lives as students depend on the teacher for guidance, for determining acceptable and social behaviour in the classroom and more importantly their learning and academic success. In addition, the role played by the teacher in fostering students learning causes them to exhibit certain attitudes which could have a long lasting negative or positive influence on students. Based on research it was surmised that high teacher expectation mean that the teacher believe that the student is a high-achiever and the dynamics

Nowadays, there are more and more people educated in different degrees and different ways. It seems that "education" has become a common word in daily life and it seems to be easy to understand.
