Una introducción a los estudios de Educación Comparada en Alemania ("Vergleichende Erziehungswissenschaft")

Abstract

Comparative Education is the disciplinary field that employs the comparative method as the dominant research procedure for scientific advancement in multidisciplinary and critical use. It concerns a brief diachronic incursion that is proceeding in Germany.  Its historiographical relevance is reflected by the bibliography of the German language in books as well as in articles. It is developed within the meta-theoretical and conceptual scope of the discipline, as well as in its continuity and modernity. To this end, the new globalization paradigm is outlined in the pluralistic society of the XXI century partly due to the population mobility. Allusion is made to the terminological evolution, to the relevance of Hilker's comparative model, to the programme of methodological approaches, the educational theories and to the comparative method in Germany nowadays. This is all to take place for the purpose of the labour market and for the training and research excellence context.
