Learning Objectives

The course aims to present the theoretical and methodological foundations of comparative education. The course will focus on an analysis of the diverse comparative methods and the main findings of a comparative research, with particular reference to the historical field of research and more distinctly to the anthropological and ethnological dimensions which are significant for the elaboration of a pedagogical discourse. The pedagogical importance of comparative education becomes more significant today, when pedagogy wishes to be first and foremost a science of integration and inclusion.
