Abstract: The emerging field of comparative physical education and sport, or international physical education and sport, rests squarely on the shoulders of comparative education; an understanding and appreciation of the latter is necessary for an understanding of the former. Comparative education is an older field of study and has gone through certain stages in its development. They include: "primitive" comparative education; a period of cultural borrowing; the exchange of information about education from nation to nation; studies of national character; and increased use of the methodologies of the social sciences. (The author quotes extensively from many scholars in the field who represent diverse viewpoints on the methodologies, aims, and purposes of comparative education.) Comparative physical education and sport has emerged in recent years as part of the interest in the sociocultural or humanitarian aspects of physical education. Comparative physical education has gone through the same stages as comparative education but with a lower quality of scholarship. Movement into a scientific approach has been slow and spasmodic. What is evident is that though the field of comparative physical education and sport uses the techniques of history, philosophy, economics, sociology, anthropology, and political science, and though the work has obvious interdisciplinary aspects, it is more than any one of the social sciences.

5. Methodology in Comparative Studies: An Overview. (ED124499)
Howell, Reet; Howell Maxwell L.
Descriptors: Comparative Analysis; Comparative Education; Global Approach; Methods; Models; Philosophy; Physical Education; Social Sciences
Abstract: Methodological developments in comparative education have influenced those in comparative physical education and sport. The history of those developments in comparative education, moreover, are similar to those in the newer field. The overall methodological developments in comparative education have been the following: studies involving history and those designed to demonstrate national character; studies involving philosophical traditions, and these are, in the main, area studies; and comparative studies utilizing the topical approach and more sophisticated research techniques, particularly statistical methodology. With respect to physical education, every consideration should be given to the changing emphases, frameworks, and models in comparative education. Comparative education has proceeded from intuition, description, and analysis to prediction. The historical-philosophical-national character tradition has been superseded, to a large extent, by a movement towards the social sciences. The field of comparative physical education and sport has come a slower route, has attracted less worthy scholars, and is relatively new in the academic world. The descriptive, historical, philosophical routes will always be with us, but ultimately academic acceptance of comparative physical education will depend on a slow but assured movement into the social sciences. (Charts illustrating theoretical models are included.) (SK) Note:The following two links are not-applicable for text-based browsers or screen-reading software. Show Hide Full Abstract
