Bridging the Question Gap in Comparative Education Research in the Age of Globalization:Reconsidering the Relationship between Local Consciousness and International Perspective
Modernizing and scientifying comparative education requires carefully considering research questiones that address the tensions of the globalization period.The lack of multidimensional reflection on the relationship between local consciousness and global vision,as well as the dislocation of problem scenarios,have resulted in a realistic dilemma for the development of comparative education research in the age of globalization,according to the current research results.It is necessary for comparative education experts to establish three local and global positions—transcendental,integrative,and dialogic—in order to create and enhance a conceptual framework for problem identification.By building an action space,double-historicizing the problem,and examining the relationship between theory and practice,the researcher can then develop a multiple questional path for the study.On the basis of problem identification,comparative education research in the era of globalization also needs to switch research strategies.On the one hand,global educational understanding and dialogue are made easier by problem-based comparative educational research.As a way to recognize the benefits of knowledge production on societal development,communicative comparative educational research,on the other hand,continues to pursue the study problem persistently.
