Comparative Educational System
Comparative education is a discipline in the social sciences that involves the

analysis and comparison of educational systems, such as those in different countries.
People in this field are interested in developing meaningful terminology and standards
for education worldwide, improving educational systems and creating a framework for
assessing the success of education programs and initiatives. Usually, graduate degrees
are required to work in this field, although some people can find employment in this
field after earning four-year degrees.
An important aspect of comparative education is contextualization. A nation's

educational system cannot be viewed properly without also looking at other things that
might influence or affect it. Social, political and economic conditions are all involved in
shaping educational systems and determining outcomes. Nations that have strong
national traditions of education, for example, might have better outcomes with less
funding than nations that historically have not placed a great value on education.
Understanding cultural influences also is important when developing techniques for
assessment and comparison or when working on new educational programs that can be
introduced to specific regions. What works in one nation or region might not work as
well in another.
Comparative education is used in the development of educational testing procedures

and the creation of educational programs and frameworks. Comparing systems can
provide educators with ideas for revitalizing one system by incorporating elements of
others, and it can allow people to track progress over time. This can strengthen an
educational system in addition to creating an objective method of evaluation and study,
providing meaningful data for people who are concerned about educational outcomes
and techniques.
Comparative education: it refer to the process of studying education system of other

country similariting and differentiate from your coutry.
Importance of comparative education:
1. It helps to determine strength and weakness of education in your country

2. It helps to improve teaching and learning process.
3. Help to improve education curriculum of the particular country
4. It improve teaching technique and method
Encourage friendship between two or more country
7 Effective Teaching Strategies For The
Classroom
1. Visualization
Bring dull academic concepts to life with visual and practical learning experiences,
helping your students to understand how their schooling applies in the real-world.
Examples include using the interactive whiteboard to display photos, audio clips
and videos, as well as encouraging your students to get out of their seats
with classroom experiments and local field trips.
2. Cooperative learning
Encourage students of mixed abilities to work together by promoting small group or
whole class activities.
Through verbally expressing their ideas and responding to others your students will
develop their self-confidence, as well as enhance their communication and critical
thinking skills which are vital throughout life.
Solving mathematical puzzles, conducting scientific

experiments and acting out short drama sketches are just a few examples
of how cooperative learning can be incorporated into classroom lessons.
3. Inquiry-based instruction
Pose thought-provoking questions which inspire your students to think for
themselves and become more independent learners.
Encouraging students to ask questions and investigate their own ideas helps improve
their problem-solving skills as well as gain a deeper understanding of academic
concepts. Both of which are important life skills.
Inquiries can be science or math-based such as ‘why does my shadow change

size?’ or ‘is the sum of two odd numbers always an even number?’. However, they can
also be subjective and encourage students to express their unique views, e.g.
‘do poems have to rhyme?’ or ‘should all students wear uniform?’.
4. Differentiation
Differentiate your teaching by allocating tasks based on students’ abilities, to
ensure no one gets left behind.
Assigning classroom activities according to students’ unique learning needs means
individuals with higher academic capabilities are stretched and those who are struggling
get the appropriate support.
This can involve handing out worksheets that vary in complexity to different
groups of students, or setting up a range of work stations around the
classroom which contain an assortment of tasks for students to choose from.
Moreover, using an educational tool such as Quizalize can save you hours of time
because it automatically groups your students for you, so you can easily identify
individual and whole class learning gaps (click here to find out more).
5. Technology in the classroom

Incorporating technology into your teaching is a great way to actively engage your
students, especially as digital media surrounds young people in the 21st century.
Interactive whiteboards or mobile devices can be used to display images and videos,
which helps students visualize new academic concepts. Learning can become more
interactive when technology is used as students can physically engage during lessons as
well as instantly research their ideas, which develops autonomy.
Mobile devices, such as iPads and/or tablets, can be used in the classroom for
students to record results, take photos/videos or simply as a behaviour
management technique. Plus, incorporating educational programmes such
as Quizalize into your lesson plans is also a great way to make formative
assessments fun and engaging.
6. Behaviour management
Implementing an effective behaviour management strategy is crucial to gain your
students respect and ensure students have an equal chance of reaching their full
potential.
Noisy, disruptive classrooms do no encourage a productive learning environment,
therefore developing an atmosphere of mutual respect through a combination of
discipline and reward can be beneficial for both you and your students.
Examples include fun and interactive reward charts for younger students,
where individuals move up or down based on behaviour with the top student receiving a
prize at the end of the week. ‘Golden time’ can also work for students of all ages,
with a choice of various activities such as games or no homework in reward for their
hard work.
7. Professional development
Engaging in regular professional development programmes is a great way to
enhance teaching and learning in your classroom.
With educational policies constantly changing it is extremely useful to attend events
where you can gain inspiration from other teachers and academics. It’s also a great
excuse to get out of the classroom and work alongside other teachers just like you!
Sessions can include learning about new educational technologies, online

safety training, advice on how to use your teaching assistant(s) and
much more.
Being an effective teacher is a challenge because every student is unique, however, by
using a combination of teaching strategies you can address students’ varying learning
styles and academic capabilities as well as make your classroom a dynamic and
motivational environment for students.
