Sociology of Education at the Crossroads.

Barton, Len; Walker, Steve

Educational Review, v30 n3 p269-83 Nov 1978

The authors trace and critique various thrusts operative in British educational sociology since its beginnings in the 1950s: structural functionalism, school-level analysis, the interactionalist "New Directions" approach, and the Neo-Marxist perspective. They also comment on the place of educational sociology in teacher training. (SJL)
