    Study Notes

    Importance and Methods of Studying Comparative Education

    • Comparative education is important to understand one's own education system, make general statements about education development, broaden thinking, and foster international understanding and cooperation.

    • The benefits of studying comparative education include:

      • Understanding the roots and influences of one's education system
      • Making general statements about education development
      • Broadening thinking when dealing with education issues
      • Getting exposure to knowledge in other humanities and social sciences
      • Fostering international understanding, peace, and cooperation
      • Achieving international standards in education
      • Satisfying intellectual curiosity
      • Reforming or improving one's own education system

    • The methods of studying comparative education include:

      • The comparative or systematic area studies method (developed by George Bereday)
      • The problem-solving approach (developed by Brian Holmes)
      • The scientific approach (developed by Harold Noah and Marc Eckstein)
      • The historical method (popularized by Isaac Kandel, Nicholas Hans, and Michael Sadler)

    The Comparative or Systematic Area Studies Method

    • This method uses an inter-disciplinary approach to systematically survey and analyze education in different countries
    • The steps to be followed are:
      • Description of aspects of education
      • Interpretation and explanation using the inter-disciplinary approach
      • Justification or classification of contrasting and comparable features
      • Comparison
      • Conclusion and generalization, focusing on the causes of similarities and differences

    The Problem-Solving Approach

    • This method is based on five stages of reflective or critical thinking as put forward by John Dewey
    • The stages are:
      • Identification of the problem
      • Analysis of the problem
      • Proposed problem solution
      • Specification of context
      • Comparison and conclusions

    The Scientific Approach

    • This method was developed by Harold Noah and Marc Eckstein
    • The procedure includes:
      • Problem identification and review of literature
      • Definition of central concepts, terms, and indicators
      • Selection/sampling of units of study or cases
      • Collection of data
      • Data analysis and manipulation
      • Interpretation of findings/results

    The Historical Method

    • This method emphasizes the importance of historical context in understanding education policies and practices
    • The steps to be followed are:
      • Study of each national system separately in its historical context
      • Analysis of the forces and factors responsible for noted differences (grouped into four categories: natural, religious, social-economic, and political)
      • Adoption of only those ideas and practices that best approximate and can be adapted to the recipient country's historical context

    Phases of Comparative Education

    • The phases of comparative education include:
      • The phase of travelers' tales (from early times to the end of the 18th century)
      • The phase of selective education borrowing (during the 19th century)
      • The phase of social science perspective (from the end of World War II to the present day)

    The Phase of Travelers' Tales

    • This phase is characterized by travelers giving descriptive accounts of features in foreign systems of education as they saw them
    • The motive accounts of travelers' tales were partly curiosity and the need for comparison
    • This phase is marked by superficial and piecemeal observations
