Abstract

The article undertakes an attempt to define the specificity of sociological studies of education and the sociology of education as distinct from other sciences of education. With reference to the old and contemporary research practice in the area of the sociology of education the author analyses the concept of education in the aspect of the structure of the education system and the structure of the education process. He also discusses sociological theories used in the research. In the author's opinion, in the light of the above analysis the specificity of the sociology of education finds justification through the application of sociological system of knowledge in the research process, especially the theory of social structure and the theory of social process.
