Functionalism on Education: Manifest Functions
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Manifest functions of education are its intended, visible purposes: socialization, transmission of culture, social control, and social placement.
Show
A civics unit that teaches respect for authority and prepares students for the workplace fulfills social control and social placement in one lesson.
Watch for
Manifest names a function's visibility and intent, not a claim about how well the function is fulfilled.
