This course is intended to develop students’ knowledge about the relationships between schooling and other aspects of society. We will achieve this, in part, by examining the theoretical perspectives and practical implications of knowledge in and outside of schooling as a basis for the development of autonomous and creative individuals. Topics may include: social stratification, cultural demands and constraints, relations between family, community and educational attainment, and the changing social conditions that have had an impact on educational institutions.
