Approaches of comparative education

  Apollo (1986) identified eight approaches to the study of Comparative Education. They are: 1. Problem Approach or Thematic approach 2. Case study approach 3. Area study approach 4. Historical approach 5. Descriptive approach  6. Philosophical approach  7. International approach and 8.  Gastronomic approach 1. Problem approach or thematic approach —   In this approach the investigator will first of all identify a particular educational problem in his own country. Then, he will begin to look for another country that has the same problem . —   The researcher will also study the education problem of another country in relation to their culture. The researcher will not only study the educational problem of another country but he will also examine the solution applied to such problem by the affected country . 2. Case study approach   —   In this approach, an education comparativist from Nigeria can go to Iraq to study the...
