Teacher reviews the idea of socical control and its importance in society.Move on from this to a
consideration of the role and functions of education from a Marxist and functionalist point of view.
Start with a basic introduction to the Marxist and functionalist views of education.

Introduce the key role of education as an agency of social control. Learners need to work out
which bits of information support (a) the functionalist and (b) the Marxist perspectives. Based on
PROCEDURES this information, learners should be split up into teams to produce an argument to support either
the Marxist or functionalist perspective and a series of mini debates can then take place – helping
to develop skills of evaluation.

Homework activity: learners to consider how they have been socialised via the education system
and write a report with examples and a consideration of how effective this socialisation is and why.
