Overview
The anthology Sociological and Instructional Design Readings provides students and instructors with carefully selected readings that introduce them to sociological and instructional design-based ways of thinking. The articles demonstrate how behavior is influenced, at the individual and group level, and how these behaviors impact learning, society, and globalized behavior. The reader is organized topically into ten distinctive sections and features articles by both sociologists and instructional designers that explain, expand upon, and strengthen various sociological theories, concepts, and perspectives. Opening sections introduce sociology as an area of study, familiarize students with research methods used within the discipline, and offer an overview of fundamental social theories. Latter sections explore designing learning materials through the lens of instructional design, where learning is defined by end goals and the objectives of one's instruction, separate from teaching the subject matter in advance of understanding the needs of the learner. Students read thought-provoking pieces about social stratification, social movements and gender, race, social media, education, and politics. The process of how to analyze learning needs and goals, as well as the development of a delivery system to meet those needs using instructional design and technology, is covered. Face-to-face, blended, and virtual approaches are discussed as ways to be more efficient, effective, and appealing to learners. Sociological and Instructional Design Readings is an ideal supplementary resource for foundational courses in sociology and education.

" Faye Allard, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Sociology, Community College of Philadelphia
"Sociology is the science of society that explores social interaction with individuals, groups, and social institutions. In this supplemental reader, Sociological and Instructional Design Readings, Professor Ron Shamwell has compiled a wonderful collection of scholarly readings on sociological topics related to research methods, race, gender, and politics in society. This reader, either by itself or in conjunction with an undergraduate level sociology textbook, helps lay the foundation for common sense, understanding approach to the study of sociology." Billy Love, B.A., J.D., Social Science Department Head, Community College of Philadelphia
"I am glad to be a sharing a student's point of view with the reading audience for this text. I am applying to the college's nursing program and now know more about individual and group social behavior." Hayat Aman, Nursing Candidate, Community College of Philadelphia
"Sociology is not my major nor professional field of interest; however, Sociological Readings and Instructional Design: Two Appropriate Pathways to Learn about Human Behavior has helped to broaden my understanding of individual and group behavior and interaction." Tianna Byrd, Psychology Major, Community College of Philadelphia
"Sociological Readings and Instructional Design: Two Appropriate Pathways to Learn about Human Behavior has improved my professional outlook and provided a better understanding of individual and group behavior." Tiara Robinson, Justice Major, Community College of Philadelphia
"I'm glad I got the opportunity to expand my knowledge about individual and group social behavior. I can now use it in my nursing practice as part of my social skill set." Jacqueline Orr, Nursing Candidate, Community College of Philadelphia
"I think the electronic format of the reader is very convenient to access via laptop and smartphone. I also really enjoyed the readings themselves. The articles helped to broaden my perspective on life and take a deeper look at my position in life and society. The articles do help to deepen the understanding of the sociological terms presented in the textbook. I think these terms and perspectives are something I will carry with me in my continuous academic career and life in general." Jazmarie Vega, Psychology Major, Community College of Philadelphia
