Skills and Capacities in the Sociology Curriculum

  • Chapter

Abstract

Serious work on the undergraduate curriculum in British sociology has begun. The CNAA, which has always had a watching brief for the discipline as a whole in the public sector, has produced a useful survey of sociology degrees (1988). The paper on research methods in the curriculum by Payne, Lyon and Anderson is one of the fruits of that and it helpfully picks up the long-standing concerns of the Social Research Association (1989).
