Sociology of Educating, now in its fifth edition, has become firmly established in its field and is used on Initial Teacher Training (ITT) and Educational Studies courses.
The book begins with a light-hearted taste of sociology, and then goes on to explore 6 key areas of education: assessment, ideologies of educating, sociological perspectives and the study of education, educational life chances, and the next learning system.

This new edition has been fully updated to take into account educational issues that have developed since the previous edition, and has new sections on the impact of assessment on pupils, personalized learning and progressive education. New editor Clive Harber joins Ronald Meighan from the University of Birmingham and brings with him expertise in the field of International Education and Educational Development. Finally, this 5th edition has a new and more spacious text design making the textbook easy to read and navigate.
