,There are three major theories in sociology of education, namely:

 Functionalism (Macro)
 Conflict theory (Macro)
 Symbolic interactionism (Micro)

Sociology: It is the study of social groups and individuals and their interrelationships with
social structures. It helps us to engage with a broader view of our lives and helps us to
explain why we act as we do. (It is the study of society, patterns of social relationships,
culture and social interaction that surround our everyday life.)

Education: Is the act or process of imparting or acquiring general knowledge, developing
the powers of reasoning and judgement and preparing individuals intellectually for mature
life. Education is not a static phenomenon but dynamic and is a ever changing process. It
serves as a form of socialization.

Macro and Micro level sociological approaches

At macro level researchers seek to identify how variations of school practices lead to
differences in student performance (teaching methods). Macro level focuses on long term-
processes within society such as the development of modern, industrialized societies
(Economy, political system)

At micro level sociologists work to identify how social forces such as politics, economics
and culture create variation in schools as organizations. Micro level focuses on small,
everyday situations and incorporates our face-to face interactions with other humans
(school, family, work)
