 F. SOCIOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVES

The sociological perspectives is one that

observes society through a lens without
personal opinions. It generalizes the causes
and actions of individuals into patterns and
categories. However, it not only observes
these patterns of society but also tries to
explain such patterns or behaviors. .

 TYPES OF SOCIOLOGICAL
PERSPECTIVES
 STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONALIST PERSPECTIVE:
In sociology and other social sciences, structural functionalism
serves as a thought school in which each institution, relation,
position, and convention, that together make up society, has a
purpose and each is essential for the sustained functioning of
other members and society in general.

 SYMBOLIC
INTERACTIONALISM
The symbolic interactionalist
perspective, also called symbolic
interactionalism, encourages researchers
to explore symbols and nuances, their
meanings, and their influence on the
interactive relationships of daily life.
Etolle
 CONFLICT THEORY
It argues that when assets, power and social
reputations are divided unfairly across sections of
society, then disputes develop and these conflicts
form the source of social change. Power may be
viewed in this sense as the control of productive
capacity and acquired riches, the influence over
political and social institutions, and the social
position of everyone else. Etolle
 WHY SOCIOLOGICAL IS
IMPORTANT?
Sociological perspectives assist us in
better understanding ourselves. People
perceive society through their restricted
experience of a tight circle of a kin,
acquaintances, and colleagues if they do
not have a sociological perspective.
Gamaya
Sociological perspective helps us to imagine
and mentally separate ourselves from our
limited experience, allowing us to understand
the connection between personal worries and
societal problems. It allows us to see how our
own routines and activities relate to the
trends and happenings of society. Gamaya
 Social Dimension of Education

The social dimension of education goes far beyond

interpersonal relationships and developing the social
skills which will support students throughout their
lives. On the other hand, education encourages
people to examine the places where a society may
need improvement.

 The Importance of Social Dimension Of
Education

1. Builds School-Community Relationships- A school is an

integral part of the community. What is taught in a classroom
affects students, their parents, teachers, staff, and leaks out into the
rest of the community.
2. Reduces Social Inequality- Social dimension meaning extends
beyond classroom boundaries. To diminish social inequality in the
outside world, educators must provide equal opportunities for all
students inside school walls.
Pailden
3. Supports the Diversity of Learners- Not all students have
the same backgrounds, the same beliefs or the same life goals.
Education needs to be flexible and take diversity into account.
4. Teaches Social Responsibility- Although school should
preserve collective ideals of peace and order in a society, it is
also an environment where educators can address areas
requiring social change. Students must become aware of social
problems in their world - including human rights, economic
distribution, and social policy - in order to become proactive
adults who instigate change.
