CHALLENGES AND PERSPECTIVES OF COMPARATIVE PEDAGOGY DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

In the contemporary world comparative pedagogy is faced with a series of challenges shaping its development as a scholarly and teaching discipline. Researching into key challenges of comparative pedagogy is focused, in the first place, on methodological obstacles in comparative research, on inadequate integration with other disciplines, on cultural and contextual factors impeding the generalisation of results, as well as political and economic influences such as globalisation and education reforms. On the other hand, technological progress, international collaboration of researchers, and critical approaches to education offer new perspectives for the development of comparative pedagogy, with an emphasis on advancement of education policies, development of interdisciplinary approaches, global collaboration, sustainability, innovations in education, and making connections between research and practice in education and moral education. In conclusion, comparative pedagogy represents an indispensable resource for research into and advancement of educational practices within various contexts. Through understanding of challenges and perspectives that this discipline offers, it is possible to develop innovative approaches that not only improve the quality of education, but also foster children and teachers throughout the world. The role of comparative pedagogy as a scholarly and teaching discipline is key to shaping education policies that respond to dynamic social, economic, and cultural changes, creating, at the same time, the foundations for a sustainable and inclusive system of education and moral education.
