Study Notes

Types of Socialization

Informal socialization occurs before formal education, primarily within the home.
It involves learning habits, manners, respect for elders, and moral values through imitation and example set by parents.
Formal socialization takes place in schools, with educators preparing children for adult roles through deliberate teaching.

Agents of Socialization

Peer groups consist of age-mates and influence behavior positively or negatively based on their backgrounds.
Schools focus on behavioral patterns, moral values, knowledge acquisition, civic awareness, and discipline.
Mass media shapes socialization through various platforms, serving as information and entertainment sources while also presenting societal ills.
Religious organizations provide moral and spiritual training, promote obedience, and teach laws through doctrines.
The general community, consisting of public places, can impact children's socialization depending on societal norms and discipline observed.

Socio-economic Factors and Education

Higher SES typically leads to positive educational outcomes including early school enrollment and access to quality resources.
Factors influenced by higher SES include timely provision of study materials, encouragement in academics, and enhanced linguistic proficiency.
Conversely, lower SES negatively affects education due to lack of resources, potentially leading to academic underachievement.

Manifest functions of education include preparing individuals for occupational roles and preserving cultural heritage.
Education fosters patriotic citizenship through citizenship education, national symbols, and promotes social reforms.
Additional functions encompass encouraging democratic participation, enhancing intellectual growth, personal adjustment through counseling, character building, and improving physical health.
