The task of comparative pedagogy research is to concentrate the achievements of several social disciplines to study the education of various countries, which spans the scope of several disciplines. Therefore, it is necessary to have knowledge of philosophy, history, political economy and sociology, and be familiar with the research methods of these disciplines in order to make a historical and social concrete analysis and comprehensive comparison of education in various countries.

(1) Point out the popularity of this or that kind of educational practice in the world;

(2) Reveal the profound or subtle differences when adopting the same educational practice in different educational systems;
