Theory and Ideology in Two Traditions of Thought About Schools

Hurn, Christopher J.

Social Forces, 54, 4, 848-865, Jun 76

Argues that the tradition culminating in Jencks work is better seen as policy research than as an answer to the sociological problem of the effects of schools on students. A tradition of radical criticism of schools is more ideological but offers an implicit theory of the effects of schooling that is of great sociological interest. (Author/AM)
