School Subjects and Society

Summary/Abstract: In this study the volume’s editor outlines the alternatives regarding how the social sciences and humanities can describe the universes of different school subjects within a social context. Cultural studies examine different concepts of public culture in relation to the different proportions of subjects in a curricula. Policy analysers see school subjects as being connection points between educational policy and academic circles (pressure groups). For the science of science, school subjects mirror the competition taking place between different sciences and the paradigms existing within one science. For the sociologist looking at social inequalities, subject-specific school achievements are elements within a description of social group-specific school activity.
