內容摘要(Abstract/ Summary)： Any individual can learn very little by himself. Others play a very important role and contribute a lot to his learning process. The presence of other persons is important because a person learns from the knowledge gained by others. Therefore the process of getting education is always a social process. The word Sociology is derived from the combination of the Latin socius : meaning ‘companion’ and the Greek logos - meaning ‘ the study of’. So the word literally means the study of companionship, or social relations. It is the science or study of the origin, development, organization, and functioning of human society. It is the science of fundamental laws of social behavior, relations, institutions, etc. The word Education comes from the Latin e-ducere meaning “to lead out.” Webster defines education as the process of educating or 2 teaching. Educate is further defined as ―to develop the knowledge, skill, or character of... ‖ Thus, from these definitions, one can assume that the purpose of education is to develop the knowledge, skill, or character of students. “The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with the thoughts of other men.” Bill Beattie. Relationship between Education and Sociology Emile Durkheim was the first person who indicated the need for a sociological approach to education. He considered education “to be essentially social in character and in its functions and that as a result the theory of education relates more clearly to sociology than any other science.” He emphasized that education is not a static phenomenon but a dynamic and ever-changing process. Educational sociology is by definition a discipline which studies education sociologically, with the premise that it recognizes education as a social fact, a process and an institution, having a social function

and being determined socially. Educational sociology could appear only when it accepted the social nature of education.
