Résumé anglais Joseph Sumpf : Notes on the sociology of education. A study of the problems and concepts which in the U.S. condition the establishment of a specific sociology of education. After a brief review of the well-known themes of educational sociology and of the social background, the author endeavors to show the importance of the problem of efficiency and of what categories its study requires. It seems that the study of effects must be integrated in a study of the values of the educational community for which Mead's operational concepts would be useful and a study of the relations between education and a class system of which Reismann's ideas could constitute a préfiguration. Yet it remains that concerning our problem American sociology of education is in a descriptive stage where no categories nor adequate typology exist, and which is moreover impeded by an immoderate pragmatism. Can it change ? A French-American dialogue is possible because there can be no education without historical traditions, because education constitutes a privileged access to the class system as well as to the system of values.
