Forum #1: What is CIE? Class Discussion.
After reading the Brock & Alexiadou chapter, viewing the Finland video, and viewing Lecture 1 slides, answer the following questions in 3-5 sentences each. Be sure to write in complete sentences and edit your responses carefully before submitting. Once you have posted your individual responses to the discussion questions, take a look at your classmates’ posts (remember: you will not be able to view your classmates’ answers until you upload your own).
Discussion Questions (10 points):
In their book chapter, Brock & Alexiadou offer socio-historical details and definitions of “comparative education” and “international education.” How do you understand the difference between “comparative” and “international” education? What perspective does a researcher and/or educator interested in comparative analyses need to have in order to participate in this field of study?
2. Comparative and International Education, by nature, is a highly interdisciplinary field. What disciplines, educational topics, and social issues are investigated by CIE scholars? And who are the major actors–both formal and informal–that play a role in these studies?
3. According to the video documentary clip, in what ways does Finland’s education system differ from that of the United States? Reflecting on these observations: How does the social, cultural, and political context of a country impact its education system? Provide a specific example.
4. Based on your informed understanding of the significant relationship between schools and society: Why would implementing Finnish educational practices and policies not work in a nation like the United States? Why is the implication that one education system, and one nation, is “better than” another not a useful or productive perspective when conducting comparative studies?
5. In your own words provide a short, detailed summary response to the question: What is Comparative and International Education? (You may also pose questions that you have about CIE in your response.)
