| Main themes |
The analysis relates to the links between the macrosocial level (debates on the aims of training and education, social groups and their educational practice ; networks and mainstays etc.), the mesosocial level (institutions, sections, classes and hierarchy, practical organization of teaching and training) and the microsocial level (relationships that players develop in training and teaching and their effects on performance).

| Aims |
The course should enable students
- to analyze the links between cultural and economic inequalities;
- to assess the micro- and macro-sociological effects of actions and policies in teaching and training both in institutions and associations;
- to understand the external determining factors which apply to teaching and training systems;
- to understand the behaviour of players within the education system;
- to distinguish between and link critical analysis and an axiological approach.

| Content |
The central aim of the course, to enable students to analyze the system of teaching and training at the present time, can only be achieved if they have both theoretical points of reference and factual information on the system. The course is therefore designed to provide the theoretical points of reference based on the analysis of real situations aimed at helping students understand the special way in which our education and training system is constructed.
One of the key issues today is understanding how external factors can shape national, community or regional policies and to identify their effects on daily practice in all the relevant institutions and organizations. Similarly, it is important to understand how single interests are able to dominate and drive these policies. The sessions on theory, together with case analysis, form the framework of this course, which is designed to highlight the way in which these influences work between the different levels.
A further issue is understanding the relationship between knowledge and the training of individuals with regard to their path and position in social relationships, their culture and experience.
A third issue is analyzing the relationship between the rules and distance between roles in the framework of the interaction between players in educational institutions.
