Abstract

This paper is an attempt to investigate goals of social education from the perspective of three sociological approaches of macro, micro and integrated. To achieve this goal, Frankna’s reconstructed syllogism is used. The results indicate that the end of macro sociological approach include fostering social virtues and the creation of group integration. The intermediate goals also include the preservation of cultural heritage, shared values of the community and fostering social spirit of the students. Besides, the end of micro sociological approach are to foster the independent, intellectual students and the intermediate goal is preparing situations for the development of all aspects of freedom. Finally, the end of integrated sociological approach are to foster the spirit of understanding in students and to emphasize on shared interests and needs. The intermediate goals also include raising educational communicative rationality in educational relationship and gaining insight and subjective attitude in students and providing circumstances for empathic interactions.
