Scuola e società

Rate this book
Il volume di Brint fornisce un quadro comparativo dei problemi con cui devono oggi misurarsi i sistemi educativi nei paesi industrializzati. Tale cornice è stata arricchita con dati e inserti sull'Italia, puntualmente aggiornati in questa nuova edizione. Identificate le caratteristiche che fanno della scuola un'istituzione sociale fondamentale, l'autore ne esamina le diverse funzioni: la trasmissione culturale, la socializzazione dei giovani, la selezione di individui motivati ai fini di un loro collocamento nella vita professionale.

Book read for the course “Global social inequalities”. I didn’t really get the general structure at first but then i slowly started to grasp the concepts of the author. In general i believe that much of what’s written is quite immediate and almost obvious, there’s too many repetitions and stuff that it’s just explained in a bit too complex way.

A good overview of education and its role in society (reading this one for class), but the writing is nothing to recommend it - very textbook-like. Breadth over depth.
