Influences on Education Reflection
Sociological Modes of Analysis consist of functionalist perspective, conflict perspective, and symbolic interactionist perspective. Each perspective analyzes the schools to insure an effective and efficient operation that will benefit society. What is most compelling of each mode is that they all show how the education system uses certain factors in order to have a functional school system. In this paper we will be discussing what we have learned on the Sociological Modes of Analysis, the relationship between the three and their influences in the school education system.
As a team, we knew that there was three sociological modes of analysis; functionalist perspective, the conflict perspective, and the symbolic interaction perspective These modes play a big part in schools, mainly with dealing with different situations and how to handle them. We learned many things about these modes as a team. After reading the book, we found that in s functionalist perspective, (Armstrong, Henson, Savage, 2009) the school wants to maintain an orderly and efficient society, which will start in the school system. The conflict perspective, however, believes that the people with high social status or power have the most advantages. (Armstrong, Henson, Savage, 2009). The last mode, symbolic interaction perspective, claims that students develop their identities, learn their self-concepts, and develop their hopes and aspirations through interactions with others. (Armstrong, Henson, Savage, 2009
Twenty-first century educators are affected by these three perspectives and how they coexist in many ways. Depending on what view you hold, the other two will not always see eye to eye with you on how to handle certain social situations that may arise in the classroom or school. Let’s say that there are two parents who would like the same conference time. One
