Educational sciences and education theory seek to describe, understand, and prescribe educational policy and practice. Education sciences include many topics, such as pedagogy, andragogy, curriculum, learning, and education policy, organization and leadership. Educational thought is informed by many disciplines, such as history, philosophy, sociology, and psychology.

For example, a cultural theory of education considers how education occurs through the totality of culture, including prisons, households, and religious institutions as well as schools.[5][6] Other examples are the behaviorist theory of education that comes from educational psychology and the functionalist theory of education that comes from sociology of education.

The earliest known attempts to understand education in Europe were by classical Greek philosophers and sophists, but there is also evidence of contemporary (or even preceding) discussions among Arabic, Indian, and Chinese scholars

Conflict theory sees the purpose of education as maintaining social inequality and preserving the power of those who dominate society. Conflict theorists examine the same functions of education as functionalists. Functionalists see education as a beneficial contribution to an ordered society; however, conflict theorists see the educational system as perpetuating the status quo by dulling the lower classes into being obedient workers.

Both functionalists and conflict theorists agree that the educational system practices sorting, but they disagree about how it enacts that sorting. Functionalists claim that schools sort based upon merit; conflict theorists argue that schools sort along distinct class and ethnic lines. According to conflict theorists, schools train those in the working classes to accept their position as a lower‐class member of society. Conflict theorists call this role of education the “hidden curriculum.”

Conflict theorists point to several key factors in defending their position. First, property taxes fund most schools; therefore, schools in affluent districts have more money. Such areas are predominantly white. They can afford to pay higher salaries, attract better teachers, and purchase newer texts and more technology. Students who attend these schools gain substantial advantages in getting into the best colleges and being tracked into higher‐paying professions. Students in less affluent neighborhoods that do not enjoy these advantages are less likely to go to college and are more likely to be tracked into vocational or technical training. They also represent far higher numbers of minority students.

Not got too much of an idea, when I studied internet was just new , I would rather read books .

Now , even toddlers use internet , so really do not know how it impacts ...

Nonetheless schools and universities have to do good job of educating the young else we are close to doomsday ...

Thank you, my dear colleagues, for these wonderful scientific answers

This is an important question. In addition to the excellent answers already given, there is bit more to add.

Perhaps the most important contribution of communication to education is the availability of youtube lectures on topics that appear in most undergrad and grad courses. This is important, a student can quietly follow (perhaps repeatedly) lectures by distinguished scientists and mathemticians. Here are a few examples:

Algebraic Topology: N.J. Wildberger, 2010 lectures:

and

Topological Data Analysis, Vitalily Kurlin, 2016:

and importantly:

Geometry and Computational Topology: H. Edelsbrunner, 2014:

thank yoy dr.James_Peters

I am agree with the answer added by James Peters ,,really youtube lectures consider so easy for students in undergrad and grad courses to got what they need ,, Best regards ,, Jwad Ali

Hello,

For a very long time, teachers' main duty was transmission of knowledge . Notably, this was the top priority on the educational agenda. However, social constructivist theories of education advocate transformation rather than transmission. The main role of the teacher is to help learners to take control of their own learning . Self-directed learning, therefore, aims at transforming learners into self-sufficient individuals who can manage their own learning. On this basis, instead of giving learners fish, we should teach them how to fish.

Best regards,

R. Biria
