Educación comparada: una disciplina actual u obsoleta?
(2018) GOERGEN, Pedro L.
The text aims to show that one of the main causes of the disheartening situation in which Comparative Education finds itself in Brazil is the almost total lack of research in the area. Comparative Education was brought here and included in the curricula of our higher education institutions. But research, contrary to what happened in more advanced centers, was relegated to the background. This fact led to a disqualification of the subjects that came to be considered an obsolete activity and seen with disinterest by teachers and students in the field of education. However, the development of Comparative Education at the international level and the internationalizing direction of science today convince us that the comparative method can offer an important contribution to the generation of useful knowledge for the elaboration of educational policies and for the training of education specialists. For Comparative Education to become viable as a useful and productive discipline, it is necessary to renew research in the area. Due to our limited conditions, it seems convenient and more feasible to focus this research primarily on the Latin American reality.
