Online published: 2024-08-24
Under the common mission for human development, development study is based on the comparative study of education. The research takes the journal of “Comparative Education” as the main data source, combining the overall progress in the field of comparative education, analyzes its comparative context, scope, as well as emerging concepts and methodologies. The research found that in the new century, comparative education research has turn its focus on the Global South, and educational research on South America, Asia, and Africa has begun to increase, while the number of studies on Europe has slightly decreased. Comparative education has maintained a deep concern for the development of human society. The Global South and the Global North have been reconceptualized; new forms of governance have emerged in international organizations and they are involved in the construction of the future; globalization and localization have new connotations and relationships in theoretical dialogues; learning as an educational and social phenomenon caters to the development needs of different countries in terms of quality and discourse; metaphors and fluid identities in comparative education provide another perspective for knowledge production and practice; Methodologies in comparative studies gain further discussion and development. All of these encourage comparative education improve herself and contribute more wisdom to human development.
