RESOURCEs

Give learners an A4 piece of paper and ask them to produce a spider graph to show all the
different ways education socialises them.
They then need to break their ideas down, e.g. if they think the subjects studied at school are part
of the socialisation process then this could be expanded on with ideas such as science and
maths subjects typically taught by male teachers; home economics/cooking more likely to be
studied by girls, etc.

Move on from this to a consideration of the role and functions of education from a Marxist and
PROCEDURES functionalist point of view. Start with a basic introduction to the Marxist and functionalist views of
education. Introduce the four key roles that education is said to provide – economic, selective, L
socialisation and social control. Learners need to work out which bits of information support (a)
the functionalist and (b) the Marxist perspectives. Based on this information, learners should be
C
split up into teams to produce an argument to support either the Marxist or functionalist
A
perspective and a series of mini debates can then take place – helping to develop skills of
evaluation. O

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.
