AQA Sociology Unit 2 Education and Research Methods Forum

Funcationalists, such as parsons see it as a bridge between the family and society
New right see it as the same but they think that the current system isn't working they want to marketise it and Marxists such as Althusser see it as a way of producing good workers for the capitalist system and for legitimising inequality

What sort of thing would it ask about Marxism? Would it be what they see the role of education as? ( Ideological state apparatus, correspondence principle , myth of meritocracy etc? )

how do you answer 12 mark questions?

intro
body
conclusion
make sure you mention at least 3 sociologists!!

Does anyone know what functions are performed by the education system?

by using the internet questionnaires can be sent to a wide range of participants at little cost to the sociologist in question

though i would concentrate more on accessibility, who is getting the questionnaires, who has time to complete them, then go onto talk about right answerism

what do you guys think the research methods will? i heard it might be experiments but I'm not sure how they would ask it? also i know the general issues with the methods but do you really have to revise research methods a lot because I've been focusing on education

But how is the structure? Do you answer it like a normal 20 mark essay but with out the introduction? And do you add criticisms or just talk bout the theory thats in the question
