Book Details: Complete Title: Sociology of Education: Theories and Issues [Hardcover] Author: Dr Kaushik Chattopadhyay Language: English No. Of Pages: 286 About the Book- ABOUT THE BOOK A book can deal in short compass with a large subject. In this exploration, the book does not tell a story of an all-inclusive knowledge, but definitely it tells a story of new knowledge. This narrative nature of the book has a use-value that determines its importance. The explorative nature and dimension deal with the need of that book to a reader. We judge the level of importance of a non-fiction from four specific perspectives. Firstly, a student-specific perspective that focuses on syllabi coverage. Secondly, a scholar-specific perspective that gives emphasis on the theoretical and empirical dimensions. Thirdly, a teacher-specific perspective that stresses on different new propositions, suggestions and recommendations. Fourthly, through a short scan into the innovative ideas, a general reader-specific perspective considers the significance of expenditure against the collection of that book. Considering all these utilitarian aspects, the book – Sociology of Education: Theories and Issues – is written anew inspite of many books are there in the library on this topic. This textbook gives a sociological analysis of education incorporating a diverse set of theoretical approaches. It is also a comprehensive and cross-cultural look to the sociology of education. The Enlightened context of formation of educational sociology, problems of educational sociology, the idea of transition from educational sociology to sociology of education, theoretical development of sociology of education, the applied side of new sociology of education, etc. are incorporated here. The author also includes practical applications and current educational issues to discuss the structure and processes that make education systems work as well as the role sociologists play in both understanding and bringing about change. In addition to up-to-date examples and research, Sociology of Education: Theories and Issues presents the subject-matter of this field as an academic discipline. It includes the spaces of social agitation in which education plays several crucial roles and tries to establish the pedagogical and andragogical link of social movements. It explores issues like everyday life, schools, teachers, leisure education, inequality, gender gap, class identity, stratification, technology, environment, multiculturalism, globalization, etc. and combines qualitative and quantitative approaches and relevant theories, classics and emerging researches, and micro- and macro-level perspectives.
