TL;DR: A look at the complete run of the COMPARATIVE EDUCATION REVIEW since its first issue in 1957 shows that it is far from being merely the thin, dry voice of arcane researchers.
Abstract: A LOOK AT the complete run of the COMPARATIVE EDUCATION REVIEW since its first issue in 1957 shows that it is far from being merely the thin, dry voice of arcane researchers. From the very beginning, some attention has been given to teaching the subject of comparative education. Moreover, several of the leading authorities in the field have devoted their thoughts to its pedagogical problems. For example, Bereday, King and the late Dr. Isaac Kandel have all considered problems of content and organization of courses, have discussed some of the determinants of teaching strategy, and have reviewed various approaches to these tasks.' Other articles on specific techniques of teaching or on useful materials for coursework have been useful guides, especially for the beginning teacher, and have complemented the regular announcements, notes and more lengthy reviews of books in the field.2 All of which suggests that, notwithstanding their serious efforts to gain the respect of academic colleagues for the quality of their scholarly contributions, comparative educators still retain a serious professional commitment to education in the strictly teaching sense. They ponder over such practical questions as creating coherent and logical course outlines, using effective teaching materials, and planning approaches and experiences appropriate to the motives and values of their students.
