The Sociology of Education in Brazil Today

2020

The field of sociology of education in Brazil is marked by a deep institutional fragmentation, being developed both in the Postgraduate Programs in Social Sciences/Sociology and in Education. With the expansion of higher education and other transformations in education systems, Sociology of Education has expanded and gained space in the research agenda of Brazilian sociology. In this article we analyze its development in a recent period, considering the research areas of the postgraduate programs in sociology, as well as its academic production in journals in the last four years. We observed the solidification of education as an area of research in the field of Brazilian sociology, as well …

The Role of Curriculum Theory in Contemporary Higher Education Research and Practice

2017

In the light of recent debates on the possible issues in curriculum studies, formulated particularly in the field of sociology of education, this chapter discusses the role and the importance of curriculum theories in higher education. Focusing on the historical and the conceptual roots of curriculum theory approaches, the argument is that the dispute and the separation between normative and critical roles of curriculum theories are important to overcome in today’s competency-based and outcome-focused context of higher education. Basil Bernstein’s ideas on the vital role of knowledge are discussed in relation to the origins of the so-called crisis in curriculum theories. It is suggested tha…

Les inégalités sociales à l'école : Genèse et mythes

2002

02057; Les inégalités sociales à l'école sont un sujet récurrent dans les débats, dans les politiques éducatives, tout en étant perçues en France avec un certain fatalisme : tout est joué avant 6 ans, l'école est impuissante face aux déterminismes familiaux, la réussite scolaire est biaisée par les inégalités sociales... Pour autant les diplômes ne sont guère contestés et la méritocratie ou l'élitisme républicain constitue une idéologie respectée et consensuelle. Ce livre démonte les rouages des inégalités sociales face à l'école et en son sein, rectifie quelques idées reçues, s'interroge sur certains mythes. En dégageant les processus qui engendrent et reproduisent les inégalités sociales …

Anti-schoolness in context: the tension between the youth project and the qualifications project

2011

Published version of an article in the journal Social Psychology of Education. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11218-011-9153-3 In this ethnographic study conducted in two classrooms in Norway, grade nine (14-year-olds) in lower secondary school and the first year (16-year-olds) of upper secondary school, attention is drawn to how classroom culture is constituted through relationships between students. Through processes of power, dominance, hegemony and marginalisation, classroom culture forms the conditions for a learning environment, and has different opportunities, dilemmas and costs for the students. As classroom culture is negotiated in contextual and r…

Education and Social Structure

2015

In this chapter Education and Social Structure, Jon P. Knudsen argues that the role and effect of education is strongly integrated with social and cultural structures. In order to understand how education works, one has to understand how it interrelates with the norms and structure of the cultural environment it plays into. The chapter calls for a balanced development strategy, where new initiatives are discussed in relation to the social and historical environment it is part of. The focus moves from the university to the region. Of course we cannot assume that all universities are seen as part of regions. Some draw on students and subject matter from a wider world. However, even the region…

L´éducation des éducateurs. Usages de la sociologie dans la formation des enseignants

2020

Dans cet article nous discutons la possibilité d'utiliser la sociologie pour renforcer l'efficacité de l'usage éducatif des sciences de l'éducation. Nous proposons que certains usages de la sociologie servent à construire la transition nécessaire entre les sciences sociales et les sciences de l'éducation. Notre engagement, en tant qu'enseignants et gestionnaires, dans la conception et la mise en œuvre des programmes d'études des diplômes en éducation infantile et en enseignement primaire et du master en enseignement secondaire, nous a permis d'agir dans une situation qui exigeait une réflexion sur la nécessaire action conjointe des deux types de sciences. Nous avons modélisé le système comp…

Bullying and social anxiety experiences in university learning situations

2019

This study examines how individuals’ engagement in bullying at school and at university relates to the anxiety they feel in general and in various learning situations in which students interact during their higher education. It was predicted that, of the individuals who have experiences of bullying (in the role of bully, victim, or in a dual role as bully-victim), those who have been subjected to bullying experience more anxiety than do those who have no experience with bullying. A nationally representative sample of Finnish university students (N = 5086) participated in the study by responding to survey questions assessing their experiences of (a) anxiety syndrome, (b) context-specific soc…
