Abstract

SANDOVAL-ESTUPINAN, Luz Yolanda  and  GARRO-GIL, Nuria. Relational Sociology: A Proposed Sociological Basis for Educational Institutions. educ.educ. [online]. 2012, vol.15, n.2, pp.247-262. ISSN 0123-1294.

In the face of modern functionalism, Pierpaolo Donati's proposal on relational sociology emerges as a new form of social intervention that is crucial to the study of educational institutions. This demands an understanding of the merits and logic behind the relational perspective. The need for the emergence of a "societal" citizenship is proposed, one with room for the social phenomenon Donati calls social private, founded on the principle of solidarity.

Keywords : Sociology; educational institution; research on education; sociology of education.
