Meaning of sociology and sociology of education Only a few things can be learned on one's own. In order for him to learn, he relies heavily on the help of others. People learn from each other's experiences, so the presence of others is essential. Because of this, acquiring knowledge is always a social endeavour.

Because of its origins in both Latin and Greek, Sociology is defined as "the study of companionship and the behaviour of other people. Studying social relationships is what the term "companionship research" actually means. The study of human society's emergence, growth, structure, and operation as a whole is known as social science. It's the study of the fundamental rules that govern social interactions, relationships, and institutions, amongst other things.

The Latin root of the word "education" (e-ducere) means "to lead out." Teaching or educating is what Webster refers to as education. Education is further defined as "developing the knowledge, skill or character" of someone or something. From these definitions one can conclude that the primary purpose of education is to help students acquire knowledge, skills, or character.

In order to teach us how to think, rather than just what to think, education should teach us how to think rather than just what to think. Rather than filling our minds with the thoughts of others, education should teach us how to think ourselves. "Billy Beattie" Education and Sociology's connection The first person to advocate for a sociological approach to education was Emile Durkheim. According to him, the theory of education "relates more clearly to sociology than any other science" because it is "essentially social in character and in its functions." A dynamic and ever-changing process, rather than a static phenomenon, is what education is all about, according to him.

In educational sociology, the concept of education as a social fact, a

process, and an institution, with a social function and that is determined socially is a central tenet of the discipline. Education sociology was only possible if it recognised the social nature of the subject matter. THE MEANING OF SOCIOLOGY IN EDUCATION Sociology of Education is the scientific study of the social processes and social patterns involved in the educational system.

"This assumes education is a combination of social acts and that sociology is an analysis of human interaction," Brookover and Gottlieb write. Formal and informal settings both play a role in the educational process. It is possible to develop scientific generalisations about educational human relations by conducting a sociological analysis of both types of situations.

Sociology of education is the study of how educational processes and outcomes are influenced by public institutions and individual experiences. It focuses primarily on the public schooling systems of modern industrial societies, including the expansion of higher, further, adult, and continuing education. Philosophically, it refers to the ideologies, curricula and pedagogical techniques of the inculcation and management of knowledge as well as the social reproduction of individuals and cultures.

A focus on how students and teachers interact in the classroom is at the heart of this unit of study, which is called classroom dynamics. It focuses on educational sociological issues.

CURRICULUM IN EDUCATIONAL SOCIOLOGY The field of educational sociology has a broad scope. Society, culture, community, class, and the environment are just a few of the broad concepts that are addressed in this book. Various issues of role structure, role analysis in relation to the social system and the micro society of the school, such as authority and

selection and the organisational structure of learning, streaming, curriculum, and so on are also involved. A wide variety of educational settings from around the world and from various ethnic groups are analysed in this course. As an example, in rural, urban, and tribal areas of the country and the world, with a diverse background of races, ethnicities, religions, and so on. It sheds light on the efficacy of various educational approaches in instructing students with a variety of levels of intelligence and intelligence types. Economic factors are examined in relation to the educational options available to students. IB, ICSE, SSC, and municipal schools, for example It helps us understand the impact of various social agencies, such as family and school, on the students. It focuses on the relationship between socioeconomic status, culture, language, parental education, occupation, and student achievement. It investigates the impact of school and peer groups on students' personalities. An understanding of issues like racism, communalism, gender inequality, and so on is gained. Students' socialisation is the focus of this research. It offers suggestions on how to help students become more globally aware, more globally integrated, and more scientifically minded. It encourages research studies on the planning, organisation, and application of various educational theories. As a field dedicated to addressing society's issues, education and sociology are concerned with all of these issues. Distinction Between Educational Sociology and Education Sociology An educational sociology is a subfield of sociology that focuses on issues relating to society's relationship with its institutions of higher learning. To prepare teachers for their future roles, it developed as a field of study. Planning educational activities and devising efficient ways to carry them out are based on the findings of sociological

research.

To better understand how people interact with one another, educational sociology was developed. "All education proceeds by the participation of the individual in the social consciousness of race," said Francis Brown. He defined educational sociology as a branch of sociology that applied the general principles and findings of sociology to the process of education.

According to Educational Sociology, education can be defined as a "social fact," "process," and "institution," all of which are defined by the assumption that they are socially determined.

Using sociological principles and methods to address issues in a school system is what this term refers to.

It was through the lens of educational sociology that the significance of the interactions between various facets of society and a single individual could be seen clearly. It focused on education as a means of advancing society. When it came to education and instruction, society was concerned. As to what type of education should be given, educational sociology attempted to answer these questions.. Whose idea was it to design the course of study? What factors contribute to a child's delinquency? . These institutions and organisations, as well as the social interactions that went along with them, were illuminated in this way. Interactions with other people were used to help the individual develop his or her own personality and become a better social being. However, despite the fact that educational sociology made everyone aware of the social nature of education, established ideals by which educational planning could be guided, and used theoretical knowledge gathered by either sociologists or educational sociologists, there was a lack of clarity about the proper dimensions of education. There were disagreements about what kinds of studies should be classified as

educational sociology research.

As a result, the idea for a new field of study known as "sociology of education" was born. As time passed, educational sociology gained notoriety. It changed its name to the Journal of Sociology of Education in 1963.

Sociology of Education is the scientific study of the social processes and social patterns involved in the educational system.

EDUCATION SOCIOLOGY NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT. An education is necessary in every society to meet the shifting sociocultural demands of that society.

Individuals' responses to social groups, their interactions, and their dynamics CONTRIBUTIONS MADE BY EDUCATION TO SOCIETY Education is no longer seen as a vehicle for the acquisition of knowledge and the development of an individual's character. When something happens, it is assumed to happen without any conscious effort on the part of the user. Education serves the following purposes from a sociological perspective:

Cultural assimilation and transmission must be deliberate and selective, as traditions must be chosen for transmission and omitted depending on their value and desirability in today's democratic set-up. For example, the concept of 'Sarva Dharma Samabhav,' which states that "all Dharmas (truths) are equal or harmonious with each other," should be promoted. "All religions are the same" has been misunderstood in recent times to mean that all religions are simply different ways of getting to God. It emphasises the moral obligations that individuals in society have to one another. Furthermore, education should encourage people to give up child marriage, untouchability, and other practises that are harmful to society. In order to succeed, education should be a part of the equation. Values clarification and/or development Realization/reflection of one's own abilities and goals is selfrealization.
