Module Code 單元編號 PFS7037 Module Title 單元名稱 THEORIES AND METHODS IN COMPARATIVE EDUCATION RESEARCH Module Synopsis 單元概要 This course studies comparative approaches to educational research. Students will review the history of the field, identify major debates, explore key concepts and frameworks, and consider who compares what in education and why. They will critically review and analyse some of the widely used approaches to research in comparative education. Historically, comparative education research has focused mainly 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.
