Nos ofrece una serie de estudio sobre la situación en la que se encuentra la educación entodo el mundo ,

Es la disciplina de la Educación Comparada una ciencia entre la Modernidad y la Posmodernidad. La situación de cambio y crisis de la Educación Comparada en el siglo XXI plantea nuevos retos epistemológicos y metodológicos a este saber que son convenientemente analizados por los autores en esta obra. Junto con la exposición de las nuevas perspectivas y agendas gnoseológicas de la Educación Comparada, los autores ofrecen también un relato de las bases positivistas y modernas de nuestra ciencia, y de su evolución histórica, desde el siglo XIX hasta la actualidad.

This book explores the evolution and current state of the scholarly field of comparative and international education over 200 years of development. Experts in the field explore comparative and international education in each of the major world regions.

Although in Latin America there are no educational programs specialized in comparative education, as there are in some European, Oriental and North American universities, there are scholars who cultivate this field. With the production of this book, the authors -most of them affiliated to member organizations of the World Council of Comparative Education Societies- are walking towards a Latin American network of researchers with an interest in establishing a dialogue with non-Spanish speaking colleagues from the rest of the world. This is the reason of our effort in writing most of the chapters in English. Comparative education, as all disciplinary fields, has evolved with different ways of thinking, approaching and constructing its objects of research and analysis, which are nurtured by different epistemological traditions living together in our times, enriching and bringing complexities. From Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Costa Rica and Mexico, the authors of the book pose questions, historical descriptions, reflections, discussions and cases to set forth their views.
