Sociology of education, its scientific profile and perspectives

Jaroslav Koťa

e-Pedagogium 2019, 19(3):7-20 | DOI: 10.5507/epd.2019.018  

This article reflects the scientific profile of a borderline discipline conceived between sociology and pedagogy. It highlights the positivistic foundations of sociology and the normative science profile of education sciences. Attention is paid to the perspectives of research in the sociology of education, where the author distinguishes between macro-social research solving traditional issues of school, society and family, teachers and students, and relatively new specific topics which lack fully clarified research methodology.

Current challenges in the sociology of education

Radomír Havlík

e-Pedagogium 2019, 19(3):21-31 | DOI: 10.5507/epd.2019.019

Problems related to foreigners are exacerbated by potentially high immigration numbers of members of culturally distinct ethnicities. It is therefore a problem of upbringing to reject xenophobia and to form an appropriate attitude towards 'strangers'. That means respecting culturally...

Russia is a multi-ethnic and multiconfessional country where most of the population subscribe to Orthodox Christianity. There are also several supporters of other religious movements, where the most important are Islam, Judaism and Buddhism. Religion has had a significant impact on Russian society, as evidenced by the introduction of compulsory religious education in primary schools in 2012, when the subject of Foundations of Religious Cultures and Secular Ethics (FRCSE) was introduced, which was largely promoted by the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC). In recent years, the ROC has begun to engage in expanding teaching, supporting the theory that the...
