Primitive period
18 17, Julian put forward the concepts of "comparative pedagogy" and "comparative pedagogy" and became the founder of this field. At that time, scholars went abroad one after another, and brought back foreign educational experience through descriptions and comments. The focus of this stage is to sort out and compare various educational materials, laying the foundation for the following research.
Factor analysis era
In the first half of the 20th century, comparative education was no longer satisfied with simple imitation, but deeply analyzed the reasons behind the educational systems of various countries. Condell, Hans, Schneider and other scholars used historical methods to explore the context of educational development. However, the research at this stage is mostly based on the traditional view of history, lacking the perspective of social science and slightly monotonous.
The era of social science method
From 1950s to now, comparative education has ushered in a real boom! After 1960s, researchers began to try to integrate various methods of natural science and social science into their research. This is not only the introduction of methods, but also the innovation and breakthrough of comparative education's own research methods. Nowadays, this field is full of flowers, and various methods are competing for each other.

The development of comparative education is like a magnificent epic. From the initial exploration, to the in-depth analysis of factors, and then to the wide application of social science methods, every step embodies the wisdom and efforts of countless scholars. We stand at the node of this era and look forward to more innovations and breakthroughs in comparative education in the future!
