Critique Beyond Criticism of Comparative Education by Critics

Abstract

Comparative Education is a discipline and a profession that has gone through series of criticisms by critics. For not understanding the functionalities and the benefits derivable from the study of the discipline should not give critics necessary opportunity to criticize it. It is on this note that effort was gear towards correcting the wrong perception held by critics. The notion that CE is either Arts, behavioural science or science was laid to rest by saying that it is fall in the realm of science due to the use of scientific methods in the research, generalisation and objectivity of the findings. Similarly, the assertion that the discipline does not have academic association and that it does not use none robust statistical tools such as quantitative, qualitative methods were dismissed. Rather, this researcher demonstrated that Comparative Educationists do adopt in its research chi-square, thematic, narrative analyses in conducting its research. Therefore, CE does not deserve severe tongue lashes it has gone through in recent times.
