Beschreibung
Approaches and methods in comparative education are of obvious importance, but do not always receive adequate attention. This second edition of a well-received book, containing thoroughly updated and additional material, contributes new insights within the longstanding traditions of the field.
A particular feature is the focus on different units of analysis. Individual chapters compare places, systems, times, cultures, values, policies, curricula and other units. These chapters are contextualised within broader analytical frameworks which identify the purposes and strengths of the field. The book includes a focus on intra-national as well as cross-national comparisons, and highlights the value of approaching themes from different angles. As already demonstrated by the first edition of the book, the work will be of great value not only to producers of comparative education research but also to users who wish to understand more thoroughly the parameters and value of the field.
No other book has focused as systematically on comparative education research methods This book considers issues and challenges associated with research involving many different units of comparison: place, systems, time, cultures, etc First edition is widely adopted as textbook in the comparative education modules in various universities internationally First edition has already been translated into Chinese, Farsi, French, Italian, Japanese and Spanish and Russian and Turkish translations can also be anticipated in 2014
