    Open AccessOheneba Boadum, Timothy D Wilson et al.ARTICLEBMC Medical Education2026

    BACKGROUND: The transition from undergraduate education to medical school demands increasing learner autonomy and self-regulation. Guided by Zimmerman's Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) theory and Grow's Staged Self-Directed Learning Model, this study examined how self-directed learning readiness (SDL-R), encompassing learning motivation, planning and implementation, self-monitoring, and interpersonal communication varies across the preclinical curr…

  • Globalization and Religion

    Kenneth Thompson, Jeffrey C Alexander et al.BOOKThe Oxford handbook of cultural…2017

    This article examines the relationship between religious cultures and the forces of globalization. It first considers the distinction between teleological-homogenizing approaches to religious developments in modernity, which assume that secularization is inevitable, and those that emphasize cross-national variability and historical contingency. In particular, it discusses the cultural sociology approach, the value of which can be recognized when …

  • Durkheimian Cultural Sociology and Cultural Studies

    Open AccessKenneth ThompsonARTICLEThesis Eleven2004Referências: 4

    Alexander has made a major contribution to the development of a neo-Durkheimian cultural sociology. Two central elements have been: the semiotic analysis of sacred symbols and rituals that evoke the solidarity attached to the idealized nation; analysis of structures and processes that constitute a civil society. Some questions can be raised. The first concerns the tensions between ethnic-nationalisms and the kind of culture of civil society that …

    It can be argued that, in the light of the 'cultural turn' in sociology, the search for new sources of critical theory, might profitably begin by considering the contributions of the interdisciplinary field of cultural studies, particularly the lessons to be learned from the Frankfurt School and then from British cultural studies in dealing with the problem of reconciling radical critical theory with the demands of cultural policy and administrat…

  • Secularization, Moral Regulation and the Mass Media

    Kenneth Thompson, Anita SharmaARTICLEBritish Journal of Sociology1998Citada por: 8Referências: 3

    The emphasis on a seemingly inevitable process of secularization leading to «demoralization» as part of modernization has meant that sociologists have not felt it necessary to give much heed to Durkheim's call for the development of a sociology of morals. However, there has been some recent movement in that direction, stimulated by a revival of interest in Durkheimian sociology and Foucault's work on discourses and moral regulation. The analysis …
