-

Issues from society including groups and institutions in the culture and their contribution
to education.
Refers to issues from society that have an influence on curriculum

SOCIOLOGY
-

Sociology is the study of human social relationships and institutions. Sociologys subject
matter is diverse, ranging from crime to religion, from the family to the state, from the
divisions of race and social class to the shared beliefs of a common culture, and from
social stability to radical change in whole societies. Unifying the study of these diverse
subjects of study is sociologys purpose of understanding how human action and
consciousness both shape and are shaped by surrounding cultural and social structure.

FUNCTIONALIST
-

Structural functionalism, or simply functionalism, is a framework for building theory

that sees society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote solidarity
and stability. manifest function. the element of a behavior that is conscious and
deliberate.

SOCIAL CONFLICT
-

Social conflict is the struggle for agency or power in society. Social conflict or
group conflict occurs when two or more actors oppose each other in socialinteraction,
reciprocally exerting social power in an effort to attain scarce or incompatible goals and
prevent the opponent from attaining them.

INTERACTIONIST
-

In sociology, interactionism is a theoretical perspective that derives social processes

(such as conflict, cooperation, identity formation) from human interaction. It is the study
of how individuals act within society.

FUNCTIONALISM CURRICULUM
-

Functionalism is a popular theory of the nature of minds. While there continues to be

great controversy about which is the correct "theory of mind," functionalism is probably
the most widely held theory among both scientists and philosophers today. On this theory,

mental states (beliefs, pains, hopes, fears, etc.) are ultimately characterized by the jobs
they do, which is to say the functions that they perform. Since computers just are
mechanical devices that implement functions, this makes the computer metaphor a
natural way of capturing the main intuitive idea behind the theory. On this account, our
brains are like the hardware of a computer and our minds (our beliefs and pains) are like
the software states of a computer. This module uses easy to understand analogies to help
explain the theory of functionalism, why it is a compelling theory to use in scientific
research, and why it raises such passionate resistance. [NOTE: Functionalism is also
sometimes called the computational theory of the mind, although others reserve the
computational theory to refer to one narrow version of functionalism.]
PROGRESSIVE EDUCATORS
-

Progressive education is a pedagogical movement that began in the late nineteenth

century; it has persisted in various forms to the present.

CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
-

Definition of Curriculum Development. Curriculum development is defined as

planned, purposeful, progressive, and systematic process in order to create positive

SOCIETY AND CULTURE

-

Culture consists of the beliefs, behaviors, objects, and other characteristics common to
the members of a particular group or society. Through culture, people and groups define
themselves, conform to society's shared values, and contribute tosociety.
