There are several views on the nature of educational sociology. What are their contents?
The disciplinary nature of educational sociology has three aspects: 1. Sociology of education is the basic discipline of pedagogy; 2. Pedagogy is a special theoretical discipline of sociology; 3. Sociology of Education is an intermediate subject between pedagogy and sociology.

① The relationship between social structure and education. Mainly study the relationship between education and economy, politics and culture. The key point is to study the interaction between education and economic and political system and the possibility of education promoting social change. Many scholars believe that the rapid development of science and technology has obviously affected the professional combination and manpower structure in the economic system, and this change will inevitably affect education. For example, in the process of modernization in various countries, due to the development of automated production, the demand for engineering and technical personnel has increased sharply, and the demand for unskilled workers has dropped sharply. This will affect the changes in the education system, and it is necessary to develop vocational and technical education to maintain the balance between society and professional structure. Some scholars have studied the influence of social class structure on personality development, academic achievement and ideal ambition. They believe that parents' attitude towards their children's education, the number of times students participate in school activities, the possibility of dropping out of school, the level of ideals and ambitions, and even the language characteristics of students are closely related to their social class background. However, on the other hand, education can also affect the changes of social strata in turn, making some people change their social status because of different educational conditions. Some scholars believe that social and political structure is closely related to education. Poverty and backwardness in education are often one of the reasons for the disadvantages of political autocracy and backwardness. The prosperity of education is often one of the promoting factors of political openness and social progress. In short, what kind of national political system there is, there are often educational ideas and educational practices that are compatible with it. ② The relationship between socialization process and education. Socialization is a process in which children gradually learn social norms. When studying the relationship between this process and education, we mainly study the educational functions of families, collectives and schools and their relationship with society. Some scholars believe that the family is the first main unit of individual socialization. The knowledge, habits, behaviors, attitudes and other personality (personality) characteristics initially acquired and formed through family training will affect their future adaptation to society. The economic status of the family, the number of children and the relationship between members all affect the socialization tendency of children. Some scholars believe that in the collective, especially in a peer group, there is no difference in age, prestige, status and maturity among members, so there is no need to reluctantly accept other people's ideas and attitudes, and they are psychologically more free and have great attraction and influence on children. Here, you can learn from each other naturally, get all kinds of physical and mental satisfaction, let children of different family status interact with each other and gain new life experiences, thus affecting their life aspirations, learning methods and attitude towards life. School is one of the main groups in society and a bridge between family and society. It reflects the requirements of society for the next generation, is a specialized institution to create the personality quality needed by society, and has a great influence on the socialization process of children. Some scholars believe that family, collective and school are the basic units of individual socialization, and their influence and interaction have far-reaching significance for promoting people's socialization. ③ The relationship between social change and education. In this study, three different views have been formed: a. Education is the driving force of social change. B. think that education is a reflection of social change. Education is an adaptive system, which changes with the change of society. Social change is the reason. Education adjustment and adaptation is the result. It is believed that education is not only the motive force of social change, but also another potential condition of social change. If we attach importance to vocational and technical education, it can not only improve the economic structure, but also have the potential function of promoting social change. In addition to the above three aspects, many scholars have also discussed the social structure of schools, the relationship between schools and surrounding communities, the connotation of teachers' social roles, teachers' professional characteristics, status and career development stages. The development prospect of educational sociology is broad, which is as follows: ① It will participate more and more in the formulation and evaluation of educational policies and plans. Pay more and more attention to the comparative study of international education and strengthen cooperation with comparative education. (3) There are more and more cooperative studies with political economy. ④ Its research field will expand from primary and secondary education to higher education, and from micro to macro. ;
