Assessing the Role of Education From the Functionalist Perspective

Evaluating the role of education from a functionalist perspective Functionalists believe that education plays a very important role in individuals, the economy, and a broader social organization. It provides a secondary socialization that conveys a shared culture that enables individuals to develop their possibilities and coordinate their behavior. Functionalists think that education will help society to socialize into important cultural values ​​such as socialization, achievement of education, individualism, equal opportunity, social solidarity, democracy and so on I will.

Since Zimbabwe's education is often hierarchical, the concept of functionalism tends to adapt to the situation of the region like a glove. The main purpose of this paper is to easily evaluate the relationship between functionalist viewpoints and learning or education in elementary school in Zimbabwe. It is school. According to Haralambos and Holborn (1990), the viewpoint is a psychological view on the relative importance of things and Cohen and Manion (1981) defines the viewpoint as "viewpoint, how to observe things" . . The point of view is recognition of things or recognition of something. The functionalist's view considers society as an organism in which each part plays a role. In this particular case, it refers to the way functionalist see teaching in classroom context. Functionalism stands out in terms of Conte, Spencer, Durchem and Person as the founder of this view.

The views of Marxist and functionalist on the role of education in the modern UK are clearly very different. Functionalism seems to be the viewpoint of the main consensus. Analysis of functionalist views conveys the positive contribution of education to social systems. Marxist theory argues that the educational system imposes the dominant value of the middle class and ignores the working class. The Marxist view also believes that unbalanced lower classes will continue to receive higher education (due to ideological factors such as class and race) (proposed by the literature "The Focus of Sociology" ). Marxists believe that "myths of elitism" ("halaranbos") is responsible for their own educational failure rather than functional factors such as role sharing and hidden curriculum. personal

Survival and advancement of society However, the three major sociological theories have different perspectives on education and its purpose. From a functionalistic point of view, this theory focuses on how education can operate society through unity and stability. Emil Dürkem believes that the "potential role" of education is to mainstream people into society. Another "potential role" in functionalism theory education is the core values ​​that teach maintaining social funds through the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. The term monopolistic capitalism covers all these aspects. Wallerstein proposed an analytical framework. He feels that he is doing world system analysis rather than writing the world system theory. He thinks that three factors are important when establishing the world economy. First, he saw "expansion of the geographic area of ​​the world, second, development of various labor management methods".
