Abstract:	A newly proposed theoretical framework, social capital has successfully extended its influence over multiple disciplines. Although controversies exist in perspectives to define the theory, the common ground of these perspectives refers to extend that social networks are assets. This paper reviews studies of social capital and discuss the two perspectives and their use in education. For the normative perspective, learning and teaching strategies to promote a learning atmosphere in schools or student groups are encouraged. The strategies help to shape a shared value that learning becomes possible among students. For the resource-oriented perspective, building instrumental relationships with school personnel is particularly useful for students’ schooling from disadvantaged background. Moreover, the paper calls attentions on two issues. One is that educational programs could be significant means to empower students from low-status families. The other is that more studies are needed to understand the roles of school personnel. The significant role of school children plays an important role in bridging resources for students.
