Learning outcomes

The main aims of the course are:
- to present the main concepts of sociology, paying special attention to strategies and main subjects of sociological research and referring particularly to Italian society features;
- to present a systematic introduction to techniques of structural analysis, known also well as techniques of social network analysis, first presenting their theoretical roots and secondly dealing with the relational concept of social phenomena and their operationalization;
- to examine two subjects particularly relevant in education: amoral familism, and school social capital. These concepts will be presented through the analysis of some empirical researches, that show operational strategies for the practical use of the social network analysis.
