The aims of educational sociology are follows :
*To develop a curriculum that will help in achieving the sociological aims
According to educational sociology,curriculum is organized so that it may
help in achievement of social aims.The social progress of the society and nation
depends on the curriculum in the schools and universities.Due to this
reason,the sociologists consider it essential to organize the curriculum carefully
and properly.In the word of eminent educationists,’’education is not to be
confined to the study of a few subjects alone,is to be present any epitomized
study of the diversified social life.
So,to construct curriculum,we should follow some principles
-The curriculum should be such that it helps in achievement of the social
aims of education
-The curriculum should be chosen on the basis of the problem and needs
of the society. But it should also pay the attention to the real problems and
interests of the pupils.
-The curriculum should be so organized and its relationship with
instructional methods should be such that it becomes effective medium to
keep a control over society
-The curriculum should be flexible and changeable.It should change
continuously according to changing social planning.

become a good citizen for example. It helps children to understand what is
happening within the society and as citizens,they should act in responsible
manner.
*To make children understand the difference between good and
bad,ethialc and unethical in the society
This means that when dealing with educational sociology,children learn
about the moral and not moral ways of doing things in the society,that is to
say,do what is good to be done and leave what is bad to be left.
*To teach children about he importance of equality,justice,peace and
harmony in the society
This type of aim claims for democratical values which enable children to
fight against all bad evils in the society and try to understand how those values
should be protected.
*To introduce students to basic social progresses of society,social
interactions and patterns of social behavior

society,of institutions and copy the good examples given by the society in order
to behave well in the human society.
