dc.description.abstractEducational sociology focuses attention on the social factors that both cause and are caused by education. It includes the study of factors relating to education, such as gender, social class, race and ethnicity, and rural-urban residence. Educational sociology has developed a range of sociological theories to explain and guide research into the various levels and types of education, and it has also contributed to the development of methodological and statistical techniques. Three current issues are discussed as examples, namely the relationship between education and social inequality, school violence and bullying, and teacher burnout and the accountability movement.en
