Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This is a 5 ECTS credits seminar that addresses education and society. Schools do not exist in vacuum. They are complex social organizations that reflect, influence and shape the society while themselves are influenced and shaped by the broader society. A good comprehension of these complex processes requires an analysis of the relationships among actors within schools – teachers, students, parents, coaches, counselors, administrators and other school staff – as well as the actors outside the school along with the impacts of wider social, economic, and political structures. This course will examine how schools and schooling relate to broader social structures, institutions and practices from a critical perspective. Following questions will guide the course:
1) What kind of social organizations are the schools and how are formal and informal relationships organized in the school and what consequences do they have on school and school actors?
2) What does society expect from schools?
3) Which social structures, institutions and practices do impact schools and schooling?
4) What role do social forces outside of the educational system have in influencing educational processes and outcomes?
5) What are the cross-national differences in education and educational values in relation to social forces?
