| Abstract: |
Three perspectives can be found in the field of comparative education: those based on area studies, social science disciplines, and development/planning studies. These perspectives are not mutually exclusive and in fact complement each other. Anti-positivistic orientations have increased in recent years. Not being bound by rigid categories, comparative education can play a significant role in reconstructing learning. (Author/TD) |
