This book provides an insight into the ideas of one of the world's
greatest sociologists: Niklas Luhmann. It explains, in clear and
concise language, the basic concepts of Social Systems Theory and
their application to the specific case of the Education System,
which was considered by Luhmann as a primary subsystem of modern
society. It illustrates the complex and sophisticated thinking that
characterises Luhmann's work and explains that Luhmann's theory has
given an important and original contribution to the study of
education from a sociological point of view. His contribution has
some resonance in recent social constructionist and relational
approaches to education, as well as in studies of educational
interaction. In addition, research methodologies, in particular
mixed methods strategies, draw heavily on epistemological issues.
The book finally argues that educationists can appreciate the
extent of Luhmann's contribution to the field of education,
although their perspective cannot be fully harmonised with, nor
reduced to, the sociological one. This divergence of perspectives
can stimulate pedagogy to call into question its conceptual
framework as well its approach to social situations in the
classroom.
