Functionalism on Education: Latent Functions
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Latent functions of education are its hidden, unintended byproducts, such as courtship, social networks, and political and social integration.
Show
A network formed among classmates decades ago persists today mainly through a professional social-media group, a channel the curriculum never intended to build.
Watch for
Latent functions are still real effects; unintended is not the same as unimportant.
