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.

This volume aims to expand knowledge about the history of comparative education. It explores new scholarship on key actors and ways of knowing in the field. It aims to raise awareness on the positionality of historical narratives about this field of inquiry and offers a re-think of its histories. Since comparative education has always been embedded within a global field of power, what would the changing world order’s implications be for the institutional and intellectual histories of the field? This book offers diverse perspectives for re-theorising the histories of comparative education. It suggests casting a far-sighted and panoramic look at the field’s origins. The volume concludes with a puzzle for future work on a global history of comparative education. This book was originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education.

"Este libro es un texto de investigación que persigue transmitir una serie de hábitos y de actitudes intelectuales a partir del supuesto de que la artesanía de la investigación se aprende haciendo, viendo hacer a los maestros y haciendo junto con ellos. Las investigaciones abarcan las políticas educativas; la evaluación del sistema, las instituciones y los actores; la institución educativa en sí misma, y las condiciones de producción en educación en la Argentina. El libro reúne, además, comentarios metodológicos de varios expertos respecto de algunos aspectos críticos de estas investigaciones, como las características de los objetos abordados; la construcción del problema y de los objetivos; los diseños y fuentes de información utilizados; su adecuación a los objetivos, etc. Finalmente, incluye diagnósticos y propuestas de abordajes metodológicos y de líneas problemáticas sustantivas formuladas por otros tres expertos para el desarrollo del campo de la educación. El quehacer de la investigación en educación está dirigido a estudiantes de grado y posgrado que enfrentan la realización de sus tesinas y tesis; también a docentes de metodología de la investigación y de talleres de tesis, y a investigadores experimentados interesados en la formación de investigadores en educación y en ciencias sociales en general."--Contratapa.

Affective education can be defined as that part of the educational process which concerns itself with the attitudes, feelings, beliefs and emotions of students. Central to the concept is the acknowledgement that student's feelings about themselves as learners and about their academic subjects can be at least as influential as their actual ability. This collection features the work of contributors from countries such as Belgium, Denmark, Russia, Germany, Israel, Spain and the UK. It shows how the practical approach to affective education varies from nation to nation. By analyzing the underlying theory, this text sets out to bring the different approaches closer together, to enable teachers across the continent to work towards a positive common ground.
