WELCOME TO SOCIO;OGY OF EDUCATION COURSE

The Zambian society is becoming increasingly diverse and pluralistic in composition and perspective. Therefore, special education practitioners and counselors from time to time will encounter learners with a broad range of views, experiences and backgrounds thereby requiring to prepare a teacher with the ability to meet diverse learning needs of the children.

Educational opportunities for learners with special educational needs however continues to be a major challenge in the education sector. The national education system for example has been characterized by inadequate facilities, human and material resources to effectively respond to special educational and psycho-social needs of children in schools. These require a workforce knowledgeable of both special education, guidance and counseling practices. The course is therefore designed to equip student teachers with knowledge, skills, values and orientations which will guide them to become better practitioners in the field of special education guidance and counseling.

For a teacher to function effectively, he/she needs to know what happens in the classroom, in the school, in the education system, the pupils and the relationship between education and society. To this end, sociology of education gives the teacher a deeper understanding of the functions of education, its structure, processes and interaction patterns within it and its relationship with the society

This course is designed to enable trainee teachers to acquire and develop relevant knowledge, skills and values arising from the Historical, Philosophical, and Managerial perspectives of education. The skills of critical thinking, reflection, analysis, criticism and logical argumentation and management acquired, will enable trainee teachers to be competent and effective at Secondary School level.

We want to welcome you to guidance and counseling course. This course runs from the second year to third in your study of Special Education, Guidance and Counseling. As the world is becoming a global village, special education, guidance and counseling are being treated as part of General Education curriculum through international and national legislation and policies.

The move embraces a belief system that learners with various special educational and psycho-social related needs essentially have to be educated, trained and developed together with their peers in the mainstream school. This then requires for equalisation of educational, economic and social opportunities. As a result of such needs, student teachers in secondary colleges of education should be vested with knowledge and skills that will enable them to respond to the diverse learning needs among learners in the school and surrounding community.

Welcome to the last module in the study of special education, guidance and counseling. This module brings to you ideas, concepts, procedures required in counseling. The module also deals with theories in guidance and counseling used in schools in Zambia.

You are welcome to take notes, and summarize the main points that are discussed. We hope that you will enrich yourself with knowledge and acquire skills that may make you be a productive teacher and guide the young people with the challenges they are facing in their personal life.
