17. Education begins at home. One does not
only acquire knowledge from a teacher;
one can learn and receive knowledge from
a parent, family member and even an
acquaintance.
Home plays a significant role in the
society and may influence the social life
of a child.

18. Educational institution is a good sample
of society. It is a miniature form of society.
You can find various group like group of
learners, group of teachers, group of non-
teaching staff. Various roles are played in
educational institutions like evaluation.
Teacher play role of judge, helper,
detective, idol.

19. The environment of educational
institution is a complex one and various
issues like gender, social background,
language technology, ideology interplay in
a complex social milieu at micro and
macro level.

21. Change is eternal.
It happens in every
object of the world.
It is apparent in every
base and consciousness.

22. A man’s life changes
from one level to another
level-it starts from
childhood, then youth,
then old age and ends in
death eventually.

24. Society is there with man since the
beginning of human life and from that time
till today there has never been any
hindrance in the society or in the process
of continuous and unavoidable change in
the character/nature, fabric, order/set-up,
alliance, ideals, and values of his social
life.

26. Social change is a constituent of two words-
society and change. Society doesn’t mean a
group of people, but, it is the unitary form
of the relation between the people of that
group. Society is a web of societal relations.

27. Change means modification,
in other words, modification
in past situation.

28. The interval between
society’s past and the
subsequent situation.

29. Jones
Social change is the word which is
used to describe the difference or
transformation in social
arrangements, social paradigms,
social functioning or any part of
social set-up.
Johnson
The change in people’s way of
functioning or thinking is called
social change.

30. Dauson and Gatis
Cultural change itself is social
change.
Gillin
Social change is the change in the
recognized customs of the society.
Kuppuswami
Change that happens in the
social behavior or social set-up.

32. The following characteristics are apparent
about the social change:
This change can either happen in the
society’s mold on the whole or in any of
its set-up also.
Social change happens when there is a
change in our material or immaterial
culture.

33. The behavior of a person changes when
a revolution happens in his thought
process due to education etc.
Change happens fast in an open
society, where, it happens on a slow
note in a narrow/closed society.
The change in social set-up happens
slowly as compared to change in social
functions/affairs.

34. When the process of social change is slows down
then the possibility of revolutions increase and
this revolution facilitates abrupt universal
changes.
It is not important that all the changes have to
be stable. There can be a change in the
nature/character.
It is not important that the changes happening
in the society will always take it forward on the
path of progress. Some changes sometimes take
the society towards declension also.

35. The social change can either be
planned/organized or
unplanned/unorganized.
Change happens faster in the modern
societies as before and we can also see
those changes more clearly today.
The changes that happen naturally and
normally affect our thoughts as well as
social fabric.

37. Technological Theory
Augburn has rendered this theory. He
explained the progress in the
technological field as the basis of all
types of social changes and has also
established the relation between social
changes and inventions/discoveries.

38. Linear Theory
Kamtey, Spenser and Karl Marx are
regarded as the exponents of this
theory. They described the chain of
progress of society as historical and
imagined a society where the cycle of
change would be rendered stable.

39. Cyclical Theory
According to Tayanavi, change in
society happens due to a person’s inner
spiritual might.
Sorokin believes that, there are three
categories of society, thoughtful,
sensational and idealistic, which brings
about a timely change in the society.

40. Cyclical Theory
Spangler has described three stages of
social occurrences/events-birth,
maturity and death, which are
responsible for bringing about change in
the society.

42. Evolutionary Change
The changes in society don’t
happen suddenly but are based
on already existing situations.

43. Wave Like Change
This is that change, which fluctuates
like waves/tides. Like waves sometimes
go up and sometimes go down in the
water, similarly, the society sometimes
progresses at a fast rate and sometimes
moves towards declension.

44. Cyclic Order Change
Changes which happen like a cycle
are called cyclic order changes. The
old events/occurrences are repeated
in the society under this kind of
change.

45. Changes in the society is constant
parallel to the social problem that
emerges because of it. It is a big
challenge for human kind to adapt on
those modification in the society. But
it is very essential to just accept and
embrace it, because we can’t escape
from it.

46. As the society change, the educational
institution also modify the curriculum
in order to be fit on the present
situation. It is significant for the
teacher and the learner to adapt on
those changes to have an effective
teaching and learning process.
