Comparative education is a fully established academic field of study that examines education in one country (or group of countries) by using data and insights drawn from the practises and situation in another country, or countries. Programs and courses in comparative education are offered in many universities throughout the world, and relevant studies are regularly published in scholarly journals such as ''Comparative Education'', ''International Review of Education'', ''Mediterranean Journal of Educational Studies'', ''International Education Journal'',''International Journal of Educational Development'', ''Comparative Education Review'', and ''Current Issues in Comparative Education''. The field of comparative education is supported by many projects associated with UNESCO and the national education ministries of various nations. == Objectives and Scope == According to Harold Noah (1985), and Farooq Joubish (2009), comparative education has four purposes: #To describe educational systems, processes, or outcomes. #To assist in the development of educational institutions and practices. #To highlight the relationships between education and society. #To establish generalized statements about education that are valid in more than one country. Comparative education is often incorrectly assumed to exclusively encompass studies that compare two or more different countries. In fact, since its early days researchers in this field have often eschewed such approaches, preferring rather to focus on comparisons within a single country over time. Still, some large scale projects, such as the PISA and TIMSS studies, have made important findings through explicitly comparative macroanalysis of massive data sets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Comparative education」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
