This course applies sociological, economic, and political theories to the examination of goals
and means of societal development, and studies the contribution of education to these
processes. Conflicting explanations of the efficacy of education are reviewed. Theories
treating education as the formation of human competence, as equalization of opportunities, as
a central feature of modernization, as a force in integration and nation-building, as cultural
imperialism, and as emancipatory force are used to illuminate the role of education in the
social, economic, and political development of selected developed and developing societies.
