Synopsis

This unit explains social structure and socialization from the vantage
point   of  mainstream  sociology  theories.  It  focuses  on   social
structures  from a historical perspective and considers the  promotion
of  appropriate socialisation opportunities in modern social settings.
Individual  and organisational differences and social issues  will  be
considered  to prepare educators to be better informed social  leaders
and decision makers.

The  social responsibilities of classroom teachers will be considered.
The  processes  of reviewing available literature, theory  formulation
and  evaluation,  concept formation and discretionary decision  making
will  be  considered in response to the need for social order and  the
inevitability of social change.
