Sociology and Pedagogy: Some Reflections
Keywords:
Sociology of education, Pedagogy, Youth subcultures, Cultural studiesAbstract
Four sociological frameworks show how sociology may contribute to understanding the school-student dynamic. We evaluate each in terms of its capacity to embody human agency and to incorporate students’ connections to the wider society. The result is a tentative pedagogical model and research agenda based on the cultural studies perspective.
