UNITS OF ANALYSIS OF COMPARATIVE EDUCATION RESEARCH
Module Synopsis
單元概要
Historically, comparative education research has mainly focused on cross-national comparisons. This course explores several other domains and levels of comparative education research known as ‘units of analysis’ such as systems, places, policies, cultures, values, curricula, educational achievements, organizations, and pedagogy. For each unit of analysis, related issues are addressed with examples drawn from the existing research and literature. The course is largely learner-directed (doctoral students’ own personal enquiry and analysis) with guidance provided by the lecturer. The students will be assigned required readings and other resources from which they will draw their own understanding of the field. The lecturer will play the role of critical mentor throughout.
