In this paper I attempt to clarify the characteristics of works of “sociology of teachers”.Then, they are restricted to the following papers. That is, they are,
(1) papers that applied sociological viewpoints, frameworks and ideas to analysing teachers,
(2) papers that were classified into the next areas of “sociology of teachers”, namely
(a) teachers as educational workers and professionals, (b) occupational socialization of teachers,
(c) educational organization and autonomy of teachers, in connection with educational research of teachers, and (3) papers that had proceeding ones in each area.
I pay attention specially to the intentions or aims and the viewpoints expressed in papers and point out significant results to “sociology of teachers” and educational research.
