Comparative Education Objectives and Curriculum Overview
UNIT 2
Elements of Comparative Education
(Both Qualitative and Quantitative)
Objectives of comparative Education
•
According to Harold Noah (1985), and Dr. Farooq
Joubish (2009), comparative education has four
objectives:
•
1. To describe educational systems, processes, or
outcomes.
•
2. To assist in the development of educational
institutions and practices.
•
3. To highlight the relationships between
education and society.
•
4. To establish generalized statements about
education that are valid in more than one country
CONT
•
In addition to these objectives, some of the
general objectives of Comparative Education
1.
To provide a picture or profile of the
education systems in various countries or
regions of the world.
2.
To enable one come up with a global
description and classification of education in
various parts of the world.
CONT
3.
To regulate the relations and aspects in
education and society, for example, how does
family size affect education? How does social
status affect education? Or what are the
motivations of different social classes to
participate in education?
4.
To distinguish the fundamental elements of
educational persistence and change and
relate these with philosophical laws.
CONT
5.
To facilitate practical reform and planned
development of the school system, that is,
improvement of education at home. In order to
achieve this aims one requires to establish the
correlation of aims, customs, social norms and
the education system.
6.
To enable one have a greater understanding of
the wider educational process.
7.
To promote the spirit of international
understanding and co-operation among those
who study it, by promoting friendship,
understanding other people's points of view and
appreciate other people's cultures.
Curricula
•
In education, a curriculum is broadly defined as
the whole of student experiences that happen in
the educational process. The term often refers
specifically to a planned sequence of instruction,
or to a view of the student's experiences in terms
of the educator's or school's instructional goals.
In a 2003 study Reys, Reys, Lapan, Holliday and
Wasman refer to curriculum as a set of learning
goals articulated across grades that outline the
intended mathematics content and process goals
at particular points in time throughout the K–12
school program.
CONT
•
Curriculum may incorporate the planned interaction of
learners with instructional content, materials,
resources, and processes for assessing the
achievement of educational objectives. Curriculum is
divided into several categories, the clear, the
understood (including the hidden), the excepted and
the extra-curricular. Curricula may be tightly
standardized, or may include a high level of instructor
or learner self-sufficiency. Many countries have
national curricula in primary and secondary education,
such as the United Kingdom's National Curriculum.
UNESCO's International Bureau of Education has the
primary mission of studying curricula and their
implementation worldwide.
Assessment (student’s achievement
examination system)
•
Examination is a assessing instrument
intended to verify both a candidates’ value
and value of teaching he has received. It is an
indicator of the training given and received. It
is to measure what has been accomplished
during the period of study to consider each
candidate’s sum of knowledge and assess his
ability. It looks like target, incentive.
CONT
•
At current, 3 types of examination systems are
being used in Pakistan: semester without
external assessment, semester with external
assessment, and annual with external
assessment. The first is being practiced in all
private and few public sector institutions,
whereas the latter 2 are in use in most of the
public sector and a few private institutes
affiliated with public-sector universities.

Teaching Methods
•
Lecture Method:
•
Lecture method is most convenient and
inexpensive method of teaching any subject. It
hardly requires the use of scientific apparatus,
experiment, and aids materials except for the
black board. Lecture method is teacher controlled
and information centered approach in which
teacher works as a role resource in classroom
instruction. In this method, the only teacher does
the talking and the student is passive listeners.
CONT
•
In the field of education, lecture method is
used very frequently. This method is used in
order to gain knowledge and concept. Lecture
method mainly focuses on cognitive
objectives. The main emphasis of this
approach is the demonstration of the content.
In this method teachers plans and controls the
whole teaching – learning process. To make
the lecture interesting, the teacher can take
the help of audio -visual aids.
Principles of lecture method
•
(1) A student can learn better through listening.
•
(2) Through lecture method, the teacher makes
an attempt to convey perfect and complete
knowledge of the subject or the topic students.
•
(3) Subject matter can be correlated with other
subjects.
•
(4) New knowledge is given related to previous
knowledge.
When to use lecture method
•
(1) It is used to give an overview of a large unit
•
(2) This method is an effective way for motivating
learners and increasing their interest in the
subject.
•
(3) It is used for supplementing the learners
reading and for clarifying main concepts.
•
(4) This method helps to save the time of
students by providing important information in
short time period.
•
(5) This method is used to provide background.
Steps of the lecture method
•
(1) Preparation for the lecture:-
•
This includes silent points like
•
(a) suitable language and manner of performance
according to the nature of students.
•
(b) selection of audio-visual aids and instructional
materials.
•
(c) planning the motivational technique
•
(d) anticipating certain difficulties and problem
during the lecture.
CONT
•
(2) Introduction to the lecture:-
•
It should be done briefly and if it is performed
poorly, it can initially kill off the interest of the
student.
•
(3) Giving the body of the lecture:-
•
The teacher should have a given cognitive
framework upon which he relies to achieve a
more logical presentation.
Advantage of lecture method
•
(1) It is economical with regard to time.
•
(2) It helps in developing the habit of
concentration among the students.
•
(3) It helps in achieving even high order
cognitive objectives ( i.e ) application, analysis.
•
( (5) It develops good audience habits.
•
(6) Through this method, new subject matter
can easily be introduced.
•
(7) It enables linkage between previous
knowledge with a new one.
Disadvantages of lecture method
•
(1) Since this is a teacher-centered method so
it provides very little scope for student
activity.
•
(2) Student plays a passive role in this method.
•
(3) Individual differences are not taken into
consideration.
•
(4) It can not be used for achieving psycho
motor objectives.
Demonstration Method
•
Demonstration method of teaching is a
traditional classroom approach used in technical
and training colleges and in teacher education.
•
Demonstration is a teaching method used to
communicate an idea with the aid of visuals such
as flip charts, posters, power point.
•
A demonstration is the process of teaching
someone how to make or do something in a step-
by-step process. As you show how, you “tell”
what you are doing.
Focus and Structure
•
Demonstration Approach focus to achieve psychomotor
and cognitive objectives. If we talk about its structure, it is
given in three consecutive steps:
•
Introduction:
In this step objectives of the lesson are
identified. The teacher may be called demonstrator. He
demonstrates the activity before the student that is to be
established.
•
Development.
Students try to initiate the demonstrated
activity. If there is any query the teacher tries to satisfy
them by further demonstration and pictures.
•
Integration.
At this step, the teacher integrates all the
activities and then these activities are prepared revised and
assessed.
Principles
•
This teaching approach is based on
the following principles
•
Learning by doing maxim is followed
•
Skills can be developed by limitation
•
The perception helps in imitation
Advantages
•
It helps in involving various sense to make
learning permanent
•
Teacher behavior is autocratic, he invites the
cooperation of learners in teaching learning
process
•
It develops interest in the learners and
motivates them for their active participation
•
It helps in achieving psychomotor objectives
Disadvantages
•
It can be used only for skills subjects
•
Only the attention of the learners is invited towards
the activity demonstrated.
•
Due to poor economic conditions of the government
schools, there is shortage of audio-visual aids and tools
and the teachers are not so creative to produce
handmade models for demonstration.
•
There is a general lack of sincerity and carefulness
among teachers who wish to complete the syllabus at
the earliest without putting sincere efforts.
Discussion Method
•
Discussion involves two-way communication
between participants. In the classroom
situation an instructor and trainees all
participate in discussion. During discussion,
the instructor spends some time listening
while the trainees spend sometimes talking.
The discussion is, therefore, a more active
learning experience for the trainees than the
lecture.
CONT
•
A discussion is the means by which people
share experiences, ideas and attitudes. As it
helps to trainees involvement in what they are
learning, it may contribute to desired
attitudinal changes. Discussion may be used in
the classroom for the purpose of lesson
development, making trainees apply what
they have learnt or to monitor trainees
learning by way of feedback.
LESSON DEVELOPMENT
•
In parts in which trainees already have some knowledge or
experience, discussion may be used to develop the main
points to be covered in a lesson.
•
For example, in safety training many of the procedures and
behaviour that should be observed can be established
through discussion with trainees.
•
Trainees can draw on their experience of working in
workshops contract sites to contribute to the discussion. In
discussing some issues, differences of opinion arise.
•
The discussion can help to clarify the different points of
view and may assist each trainee to define his or her own
opinion. Used in this way, discussion may be more effective
in motivating trainees than lectures.
•
Trainees can see that some importance is attached to their
contributions.
APPLICATION
•
Discussion may also be used, following a lecture
or demonstration, to help trainees apply what
they have learned.
•
. For example following a lecture on “types of
wood joint”, the instructor may, lead a discussion
directing trainees attention to the places or
pieces of furniture where each type is found, and
the reasons for using one type than the other.
Used in this way discussion contributes to the
transfer of learning.
FEEDBACK
•
The discussion method also provides an
opportunity to monitor trainees learning.
•
The answers provided by trainees and the
questions they ask, reveal the extent and quality
of learning taking place.
•
Instructors can use this information to repeat or
modify an explanation to improve learning.
•
. Discussion used in this way should follow after
other methods of classroom instruction such as
lectures, demonstration or practice sessions.
CONDUCTING A DISCUSSION
•
Discussion sessions can be led by the instructor, or can
take place in groups. In either case, the goal is to meet
the lesson objectives by allowing the trainees to:-
•
a) Relate relevant personal experiences or events
which have happened in the work setting.
•
b) Contribute ideas or personal opinions.
•
c) Apply what has been learned to familiar situations or
solving problems.
•
d) Express what had been learned.
•
The discussion is instructor led or takes place in groups
it must be guided by the instructor. It must be focused
on the objectives of the lesson: it is the instructors
responsibility to see that the objectives are met.

Meaning and Nature of Teacher
Education
•
The National Council for Teacher Education has
defined teacher education as – A program of
education, research and training of persons to
teach from pre-primary to higher education level.
•
Teacher education is a program that is related to
the development of teacher skill and competence
that would enable and empower the teacher to
meet the requirements of the profession and face
the challenges.
CONT
•
According to Goods Dictionary of Education
Teacher education means, ―all the formal and
non-formal activities and experiences that
help to qualify a person to assume
responsibilities of a member of the
educational profession or to discharge his
responsibilities more effectively.
CONT
•
Teacher education includes teaching skills,
sound pedagogical theory and professional
skills.
•
Teaching skills would include providing
training and practice in the different
techniques, approaches and policies that
would help the teachers to plan and
communicate instruction and conduct
effective assessment.
CONT
•
It includes effective classroom supervision skills,
preparation and use of instructional materials
and communication skills.
•
Pedagogical theory includes the philosophical and
sociological considerations that would enable the
teachers to have a sound basis for practicing the
teaching skills in the classroom.
•
The theory is stage specific and is based on the
needs and requirements that are characteristic of
that stage.
CONT
•
Professional skills
include the techniques,
policies and approaches that would help
teachers to grow in the profession and also
work towards the growth of the profession.
•
It includes soft skills, counseling skills,
interpersonal skills, computer skills,
information saving and supervision skills and
above all life long learning skills.
Nature of Teacher Education :
•
1) Teacher education is a continuous process and
its pre-service and in-service components are
complimentary to each other.
•
According to the International Encyclopedia of
Teaching and Teacher education (1987),Teacher
education can be considered in three phases :
Pre-service, Induction and In-service.
•
2 The three phases are considered as parts of a
continuous process. Teacher education is based
on the theory that Teachers are made, not born
in contrary to the assumption, Teachers are born,
not made.
CONT
•
3) Teacher education is broad and
comprehensive. Besides pre-service and in-
service programs for teachers, it is meant to be
involved in various community programs and
extension activities, adult education and non-
formal education programs, literacy and
development activities of the society.
•
4) It is ever-evolving and dynamic. In order to
prepare teachers who are competent to face the
challenges of the dynamic society, Teacher
education has to keep well-informed of recent
developments and trends.
CONT
•
5) The root of the entire process of teacher
education lies in its curriculum, design, structure,
organization and transaction methods, as well as
the extent of its relevance.
•
6) As in other professional education programs
the teacher education curriculum has a
knowledge base which is sensitive to the needs of
field applications and comprises meaningful,
conceptual blending of theoretical understanding
available in several cognate disciplines.
CONT
•
7) Teacher education has become distinguished
into stage-specific programs. This suggests that
the knowledge base is effectively specialized and
expanded across stages, which should be utilized
for developing effective processes of preparing
applicant teachers for the functions which a
teacher is expected to perform at each stage.
•
8) It is a system that involves an interdependence
of its Inputs, Processes and Outputs.
Scope of Teacher Education :
•
The scope of teacher education can be
understood in the following ways;
•
Teacher education at different levels of
education
•
Aspects of teacher education
Administration
•
Administration is a branch of university or college
employees responsible for the maintenance and
supervision of the institution and separate from the
faculty or academics, although some personnel may
have joint responsibilities.
•
Some type of separate administrative structure exists
at almost all academic institutions, some schools are
governed by employees who are also involved in
academic or educated work.
•
Many senior administrators are academics who have
advanced degrees and no longer teach or conduct
research actively.
Administration organization
•
Each
province
is divided
into
administrative divisions,
•
Each division
into
districts,
•
Each districts into
Tehsil
•
Each
Tehsil
into
Union council.
Financial Setup
•
Federal
Government
provides
funds tos
provinces
to
meet
the
development
expenses.
•
Pakistan
has
allocated only
2.3 % of the
budget
for
education.
•
This
budget
is
even
significantly lower
than that
of
India
which
spends
4.1% of
GDP.
Comparative education aims to describe, develop, and establish relationships between educational systems and societies across countries. It seeks to regulate education aspects, facilitate reform, and promote international cooperation. The curriculum is defined as the total student experiences within the education process, encompassing planned instructional sequences and learning goals.
