Educational Sociology
Educational Sociology is the study of how social factors influence education systems and practices. It examines the relationship between education and society, focusing on how aspects like culture, class, and community shape educational experiences and outcomes. Researchers in this field analyze issues such as inequality, access to resources, and the role of institutions in promoting or hindering educational success.
This discipline also explores the impact of education on social change and individual development. By understanding the social context of education, scholars aim to improve teaching methods and policies, ultimately fostering a more equitable and effective educational environment for all students.
