The Sociological Foundation of Education has added a new dimension to education as an interdisciplinary approach. Man not only lives in a society, he grows and functions in a social context and various factors contribute to the growth of an individual. Sociology which involves the study of society, social process and social change is a growing science. Education can hardly be separated from society and so from sociology. School is a miniature society and what happens in a society also happens in a school situation. The factors which are dealt with in a social context may be classified under human, environmental and organisational factors. Like parents in a family, teachers take important roles in a school. Culture occupies a significant place in a society. A community cannot grow without culture. Similarly, a society cannot survive without culture. As in every dynamic society there are problems, so in every school there are typical situations. Teacher has a distinct role as a social worker and community member. Of all the foundations of education the sociological basis has a more practical bearing on day to day living.
