The article shows the area of research of professor Anna Mońka-Stanikowa, who worked for the Faculty of Education at the University of Warsaw for many years. As her leading discipline was comparative education, her books and articles were devoted to this subject matter. Anna Mońka-Stanikowa’s publications in “The Pedagogical Quarterly” in the 1960s concerned mostly the educational systems in Belgium, the Netherlands and Switzerland. She also elaborated on the role of international organizations in education planning in the world. Apart from this, Mońka-Stanikowa wrote about professor Bogdan Nawroczyński, her master and the founder of the Faculty of Education at the University of Warsaw.

The aim of the article is to present the achievements of Matthew Arnold’s in the development of European comparative education and to show his views on the changes in education in 19th century England against the background of other European countries. In the works on comparative education, a French writer Marc-Antoine Jullien de Paris (1775–1848) is regarded as one of precursors of this scientific field (currently treated as a pedagogical subdiscipline), however, as also emphasized by Józef Miąso, the British comparativists: Matthew Arnold, Thomas Darlington and Robert Morant have significantly contributed to the development of European comparative education1. The achievements of British educators, sociologists and historians in this area are underestimated and almost unknown in Poland.The development of English educational system in 19th century was different in many ways from other educational systems in continental Europe, so that the works of English comparativists, such as Matthew Arnold are unique and very important for better understanding of the historical development of comparative research methodology and also the specifics of English schools system.The article also proves that comparative education is a very important field of scientific research and played major role in planning the reforms of educational systems in many countries mainly in XIX and XX century. M. Arnold’s analyses could be still valid in XXI century.The study used the method of documental analysis, original Matthew Arnold’s works in the field of education and English-language scientific publications dealing with his achievements in the field of popularizing comparative studies. A new overview of M. Arnold’s achievement will ensure the use of sociological analyzes.

N. Makkaveiskyi contributed to the accumulation of knowledge of foreign and native pedagogy, history of pedagogy, theories of learning and education for the mapping of pedagogical ideas and school practices and formulation on this basis of theoretical approaches of predictive nature, their widespread use on the territory of their own state in the future. The academic research on foreign educational systems made a significant contribution to the development of comparative education in late ХІХ – early ХХ century. A scientist investigated original sources in detail, repeatedly was abroad, visited collection on experimental pedagogics for research of the foreign educational systems. N. Makkaveiskyi is known for sound researches of home and foreign history of pedagogics: histories of education and education of old jewries, pedagogical inheritance of church figures, labours of western teachers – Jan Komenskyi, John Lock, Wolfgang Ratke, Herbert Spenser, also the Russian teachers of Ivan Betskyi, Leo Tolstoy, Kostyantyn Ushinskyi and other. The analysis of research work of N. Makkaveiskyi certifies a deep study to them of the pedagogical systems of different countries of Europe and Asia, England, Greece, Egypt, Israel, India, Italy, China, Germany, Persia, Russia, Czech Republic. Comparative education serves to the native educational figures, scientists, teachers for the deep comprehension of pedagogical problems, planning of further activity and prognostication of its results. It opens possibilities of study of maintenance and methods of studies, international experience of development of education in a definite time period, assists to further development of modern education.

In Ukraine, a number of factors including the "iron curtain" disappearance, the independence proclamation in 1991, rapid ICT expansion promoted the national education openness for the worldwide achievements and actualized the comparative education role. In the independence period, an important task for the comparative education in Ukraine is to study the nature of the educational transformations in the developed countries in order to harmonize the national education development with the educational achievements of the other ones. The purpose of the article is to conduct a comparative analysis of the comparative education development in Ukraine and abroad, to outline the achievements and the challenges faced by the national comparative education nowadays.As a result of the analysis it was concluded that in Ukraine the nature of comparative education development has its own specificity caused by the prolonged isolation and ideological pressure in the Soviet period.The abovementioned make it impossible to find the direct parallels between the developments of comparative education in foreign countries and in Ukraine until 1991. At the same time, it was concluded that after the Ukraine independence, comparative education started to be developed as an academic field similar to the foreign comparative education methodological approaches.Before, the "preparatory period" had lasted when the foundations of this science were laid, and the methods of comparison were developed. It should be notified that this period was varying; every decade has enriched the science of comparing with many ideas and technologies. The less was the influence of the communist ideology the fruitfully the methodological ideas and technologies were developing.The present stage (which is determined by globalization transformations) could be characterized as the period of the national comparative education professionalization. The professionalization is characterized both by the comparative education institutionalization (institutional structure formation) and the development of its methodology. The institutionalization comprises the comparative education research centers formation; the "Comparative pedagogy" course for the future teachers in the Ukrainian universities launching; the specialized journals publication; the annual special events conducting.The comparative education methodology also is under the process of development. The issues that remain to be open for the Ukrainian comparative educationists’ community in the aspect of the methodology primarily cover the selection of the methods for the comparative educational studies, meeting the national education requirements in terms of the determination of the common trends and patterns of the educational development abroad and primarily in Europe, the prognostication for the educational policymakers in Ukraine.

Wiele czynników, obejmujących zniknięcie "żelaznej kurtyny" i ogłoszenie niepodległości w 1991 roku, oraz szybkie rozprzestrzenianie się ICT na Ukrainie spowodowało otwartość edukacji krajowej na światowe osiągnięcia w tej dziedzinie, co podniosło także rolę pedagogiki porównawczej. W czasach niepodległości ważnym zadaniem jest badanie istoty transformacji edukacyjnych za granicą w celu harmonizowania edukacji narodowej zgodnie z kierunkami rozwoju systemów edukacji w Europie i USA. Celem artykułu jest analiza rozwoju pedagogiki porównawczej na Ukrainie z uwzględnieniem dokonań innych krajów, określenie osiągnięć i wyzwań stojących przed krajową pedagogiką porównawczą na współczesnym etapie. Stwierdzono, że na Ukrainie specyficzny charakter rozwoju pedagogiki porównawczej spowodowany jest przez długotrwałą izolację oraz specyficzne wpływy ideologiczne, jakim podlegała Ukraina w latach podległości Związkowi Radzieckiemu.Specyfika ta uniemożliwia przeprowadzenie bezpośrednich paraleli między rozwojem pedagogiki porównawczej za granicą i na Ukrainie do roku 1991, kiedy to, po uzyskaniu niepodległości, ukraińska pedagogika porównawcza zaczęła się rozwijać podobnie, jak to ma miejsce w innych krajach Jak dotąd trwał w tej dziedzinie "okres przygotowawczy", podczas którego opracowywano podstawy tej nauki wraz z metodologią badawczą.Należy zauważyć, że okres ten nie był jednolity – kolejne dziesięciolecia wzbogacały tę dziedzinę nauki o rozliczne innowacje i nowoczesne technologie.Obecny etap (zdeterminowany przez transformacje globalizacyjne) może być scharakteryzowany jako okres profesjonalizacji narodowej pedagogiki porównawczej w kontekście tworzenia jej ośrodków badawczych, wprowadzenia kursu "Pedagogika porównawcza" dla przyszłych nauczycieli na uniwersytetach w kraju, wydawania czasopism specjalistycznych, przeprowadzania corocznych przedsięwzięć warsztatowych wraz z nieustannym tworzeniem metodologii pedagogiki porównawczej.Pytania, które pozostają otwarte dla społeczności ukraińskich komparatystów przede wszystkim obejmują dobór odpowiednich metod do przeprowadzania badań porównawczo-pedagogicznych, ich skuteczności, zgodności z wymogami edukacji narodowej w zakresie wyodrębnienia wspólnych z systemami edukacyjnymi  innych krajów tendencji rozwojowych, reguł i zasad prognozy dla twórców polityki edukacyjnej w Ukrainie.

Analiza kontekstualna, w tym osadzenie zjawisk w ich logice historycznych wydarzeń, jest podstawowym zadaniem pedagogiki porównawczej. W polskiej pedagogice porównawczej zwykło się przywiązywać mniejszą wagę do roli historii i znaczenia pamięci dla całościowego uchwycenia znaczeń analizowanych zjawisk i poszukiwania odpowiedzi na istotne problemy poznawcze. Tradycyjne podejście skoncentrowane jest na perspektywie teraźniejszej i przyszłej, i tak też postrzega się problemy edukacyjne w prowadzonym dyskursie pedagogiki porównawczej. Uwzględnianie znaczenia myślenia historycznego w metodologii pedagogiki porównawczej jest o tyle istotne, że ukazuje szeroki kontekst i pozwala na rozumienie, a nie wyłącznie przedstawianie zjawisk.

The contextual analysis including the embedding of phenomena in their logic of historical events is the basic task of comparative education. The article presents a new approach to comparative education in the Polish comparative discourse, based primarily on the ideas of pedagogical constructivism, opening a discussion on a new methodological paradigm, which is the place of historical context and memory in comparative research. Taking into account the importance of historical thinking in the methodology of comparative education is important insofar as it shows a wide context and allows for understanding and not only presenting phenomena.

Celem podjętych rozważań jest przedstawienie kulturowych uwarunkowań edukacji w Chinach w dobie globalizacji. Artykuł odpowiada na pytanie, czy w czasach globalnych przemian i swobodnego przepływu treści, znaczeń i rozwiązań oświatowych, edukacja w Chinach pozostaje wierna tradycji i wartościom lokalnym. Przedmiotem badań były system edukacyjny i rzeczywistość kulturowo-społeczna w okresie przemian. W treści artykułu wykorzystano badania zastane chińskich i zagranicznych autorów. Jako metodę badawczą wybrano analizę źródeł wtórnych, która pokazała, że mimo gwałtownych, globalnych zmian, chińska edukacja w swoich metodach i sposobach nauczania pozostaje wierna ideałom i założeniom chińskiej tożsamości, a dokonuje tego za pośrednictwem procesu kontekstualizacji.

Imperfections - such as inequality and inefficiency of learning - are perennial problems for education despite a diversity of foundations on which national systems are established, which range from the idealistic vision of fostering a utopian society to the utilitarian objective of producing skilled workers capable of engendering economic growth. Despite sharing many common conditions and fundamental values, educators rarely learn valuable lessons from the successes and failures of highly relevant initiatives in distant nations. This problem may be attributed to several factors, not the least of which includes the entrenchment of local traditions and ethnocentric assumptions, but surely the quality and relevance of international-comparative research - and the way its results are disseminated - are issues that must also be taken into careful consideration. What are the unique lessons to be learned from international comparisons, and what are the prospective risks for how such comparisons may be misinterpreted and misused in educational settings? How can international comparative research be made more relevant, with tangible applications that may be recognized and effectively used by school teachers? How can international comparative education meaningfully examine subjects beyond the reach of standardized testing, in such domains as the fostering of creativity, talent, and ethical sensibilities, for example? These themes will be presented through discussion of both research findings and anecdotes from the personal experience of working for universities on four continents. Specific topics will include the challenges of accounting for conceptual equivalency and representing cultural differences, sampling and generalizability, reconciling the diverging aims of economic, anthropological, sociological, and psychological research, as well as grappling with the ambivalent discourse of globalization, multiculturalism, post-colonialism, and other social movements.
