Education is the theory of maintaining the socialization of capitalist economic development, which refers to the process, content, mode and mechanism of individual socialization as the research object. A common research field of anthropology, psychology and sociology. In sociology of education, it is generally believed that Durkheim was the first to elaborate systematically, which laid a theoretical foundation for the follow-up research. From the end of 19 to the 1950s, the school of structural functionalism was dominant in this area. Its main points are: in the process of socialization, individuals and society are unified, and collective consciousness and moral concepts are transmitted through education, so that the younger generation can be socialized and personalized, thus maintaining social identity and diversity; Class is an important media of socialization, which transmits social culture and internalizes it in students; Through the selection and distribution mechanism based on academic performance, society provides everyone with more equal opportunities for further studies and employment.

The basic view of socialization theory holds that the economic value of education stems from its social function, and its importance far exceeds the influence of education on improving cognitive skills on the economy. This theory attempts to analyze the role of American education in maintaining the existence of American capitalist system from two aspects: structure and function, and explain the relationship between education and social economy. When explaining that the economic value of education stems from its social function, this theory holds that education cultivates all kinds of non-cognitive personality characteristics needed by the production structure for students. The classification and division of labor of American production structure require different personality characteristics for different jobs. The economic function of education is to socialize students through various ways and means, so that different students can form various personality characteristics needed by economic structure through education. The socialization process of education is a different socialization process.
