Answer 1

Answer:

The symbolic interactionist perspective would emphasize the daily activities within the schools, the various forms of communication between teachers and pupils, examine the influence of peer groups, and look at the reaction when school rules are broken or followed.

Explanation:

Symbolic interactionist studies focus on relationships among individuals within a society - in this case, a school. Symbolic interactionists believe people make sense of the social world through communication, in which there is the exchange of symbols and their meanings. Different circumstances attribute different meanings to things. Since symbolic interactionist studies aim to understand the symbolic world in which individuals are involved, they tend to have a qualitative approach, observing or deeply interviewing participants.
