Sociological Determination Of Objectives In Education - David Snedden - Bog

The book ""Sociological Determination Of Objectives In Education"" by David Snedden is a comprehensive study of the ways in which social forces shape the goals and objectives of education. Snedden argues that education is not a neutral or objective pursuit, but rather is deeply influenced by the social, economic, and political contexts in which it takes place. The book is divided into three main sections. In the first section, Snedden provides an overview of the sociological factors that shape educational objectives, including the role of social class, race, gender, and culture. He argues that these factors not only influence what is taught in schools, but also how it is taught and who has access to education.In the second section, Snedden examines the historical development of educational objectives in the United States, from the early 20th century to the present day. He traces the evolution of educational goals from a focus on basic literacy and vocational training to a more expansive vision of education as a means of promoting social mobility and democratic citizenship.In the final section of the book, Snedden offers a critical analysis of current educational objectives and proposes a new framework for understanding the role of education in society. He argues that education should be seen as a tool for promoting social justice and equality, rather than simply as a means of preparing individuals for the workforce.Overall, ""Sociological Determination Of Objectives In Education"" is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of the complex relationship between education and society. It is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the role of education in shaping our social, economic, and political systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
