Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Symbolic interactionists emphasize how labeling and self-concept are socially constructed through interactions and interpretations of symbols. Therefore, they are more likely to view grades, written comments, and evaluations as contributing to labeling as they are seen as symbolic representations of a student's worth or ability. Postmodernists would also likely see grades and evaluations as contributing to labeling, but not necessarily written comments as they may view language as unstable and subjective. Functionalists and conflict theorists are more focused on how education functions in society and may not prioritize the role of labeling in the same way as symbolic interactionists.
