The subject matter of this book – what happens in schools, the effects of curriculum change, the reasons why some children are successful and others are not – explains just why the sociology of education is one of the most important areas to achieve political importance. There are five sections to the book covering: Educational Achievement; Educational Provision; The Organization of the School; Roles in the School and Values and Learning. The editor discusses the implications of the material presented (much of which was available for the first time when this book was originally published).

This collection brings together many of the world’s leading sociologists of education to explore and address key issues and concerns within the discipline. The thirty-seven newly commissioned chapters draw upon theory and research to provide new accounts of contemporary educational processes, global trends, and changing and enduring forms of social conflict and social inequality. The research, conducted by leading international scholars in the field, indicates that two complexly interrelated agendas are discernible in the heat and noise of educational change over the past twenty-five years. The first rests on a clear articulation by the state of its requirements of education. The second promotes at least the appearance of greater autonomy on the part of educational institutions in the delivery of those requirements. The Routledge International Handbook of the Sociology of Education examines the ways in which the sociology of education has responded to these two political agendas, addressing a range of issues which cover three key areas: perspectives and theories social processes and practices inequalities and resistances. The book strongly communicates the vibrancy and diversity of the sociology of education and the nature of ‘sociological work’ in this field. It will be a primary resource for teachers, as well as a title of major interest to practising sociologists of education.

By including material from literary, philosophical, and anthropological sources, and by selecting readings which consider educational practice both within and beyond formal educational contexts, this book broadens the character of sociological inquiry in education. The editors bring together material they have found valuable when working with students of education and sociology at all levels. Many of these articles and extracts are either inaccessible or have not been reprinted. The collection should stimulate inquiry about the assumptions underlying current debates on curriculum, streaming, school organization, methods of teachin, and preconceived notions of ability.

The author examines some of the major problems that arise in the sociology of education. It also sheds light on the methods which are frequently employed in studying them. The problems in question relate to two aspects of the level of education which people attain. The first of these, and the one which most studies and data take into account, is the level of education in the ordinary sense of the word, meaning that which is expressed in terms of formal qualifications. This book, however, is concerned with the invisible or real level of education, that is, the level of composite knowledge which individuals actually possess but which has no formal expression. Professor Girod sets out to show that formal and real levels of evaluation often bear little or no relation to one other and demonstrates their respective differences in evolution. In addition, he examines the problem of the inequality of opportunity from the point of view of access to education, both in its real and formal aspects. It is to this problem that the methods in this book relate as they consist of techniques for differentiating between the effects of the various factors contributing to these inequalities.
