Extract

The sociology of education in Britain is generally regarded as having gone through something of a paradigm shift in the late 1960s and early 1970s. A supposed “new direction” in the sociology of education was seen to emerge from the work of Basil Bernstein and Michael F.D. Young and their colleagues and students at the Institute of Education in London. This was symbolized in the sub-title of the first major publication by this group — Knowledge and Control: New Directions for the Sociology of Education (Young 1971a). Insofar as there was anything that had a coherent claim to be termed a “new sociology of education” (Gorbutt 1972), its approach was one which sought to make problematic that which had hitherto been taken for granted in education (Young, 1971b).
