History Of

Comparative and international education intersects with international relations, international development and modernization, and domestic political, cultural, and economic concerns. Therefore, the history of comparative and international education must be understood in a larger historical context. This article engages the current debate on the founding history of American comparative and international education. It addresses specifically the role of the International Institute of Teachers College, Columbia University in the formation of comparative education as a formal academic field in America. Of particular importance is the investigation of the immediate social and cultural concerns in post-World War I America that informed the motivation and purposes of expanding international education and comparative studies of different nations’ educational ideas, practices, conditions, and systems. A closer look at the founding leaders’ views on the relations of different cultures in terms of social progress further sheds light on how education was perceived as a tool for social change and the extension of American values across the globe.

Three Stages

The first section of this article provides a brief overview of the field in Canada, and in so doing, demonstrates the broad nature of Comparative Education within the Canadian context. The second section of this article provides an overview of the comparative and international education programmes, specialization areas and courses in Canadian higher education institutions, focusing on three stages in the history of Comparative Education in Canada: the 1950s-1970s (Establishment of Comparative Education); the 1980s -1990s (Fragmentation of Comparative Education); and the 2000s (Broadening Comparative Education). While the focus in this article is on Comparative Education in graduate university programmes, a discussion about Comparative Education in teacher education is also included here. Two tables are presented which summarize changes in the field over the past 50 years and the titles of specific courses related to Comparative Education offered in Canadian universities. A discussion of the current state of Comparative Education in Canadian higher education follows with a few concluding explanatory comments about the current state of the field. Dans la première partie de cet article nous offrons un panorama de ce champ au Canada, et en le faisant, nous démontrons la nature étendue de l'éducation comparée dans le contexte canadien. Dans la deuxième partie, nous donnons un aperçu sur les programmes, les domaines spécialisés, et les cours sur l'éducation comparée et internationale offerts dans les institutions d'études supérieures du Canada. Nous les donnons suivant les trois étapes de l'histoire de l'éducation comparée au Canada: pendant les décennies 1950-1970 (l'établissement de l'éducation comparée); pendant les décennies 1980-1990 (la fragmentation de l'éducation comparée); et dans les années 2000 (l'élargissement de l'éducation comparée). Le but principal de cet article est d'élaborer l'éducation comparée aux programmes d'études supérieures mais nous y parlons aussi de l'éducation comparée dans la formation des enseignants et des enseignantes. Deux tableaux donnent le sommaire des changements dans le domaine pendant les cinquante dernières années et le nom des cours offerts dans les universités canadiennes, ayant un trait spécifique avec l'éducation comparée. Nous présentons aussi l'état actuel de l'éducation comparée enseignée dans les universités canadiennes et terminons par quelques commentaires explicatifs sur l'état actuel de ce domaine d'étude.

Every society faces a dilemma of instilling a shared vision of citizenship, on the one hand, and accommodating specific identities, on the other. This Special Issue addresses the problems of citizenship and democratic education in pluralistic societies that face a challenge of accommodating diversity and maintaining social cohesion. This volume is the result of comprehensive joint efforts of scholars from different countries and regions, who are at various stages of their careers, all working in the field of citizenship studies in education. The papers featured in this collection were presented at the symposium Citizenship, Identity, and Education at the 2018 Comparative and International Education Society conference in Mexico City. We hope that the publication of this Special Issue will contribute to the dialogue about the interplay of citizenship and identity and the role of citizenship and democratic education in identity construction, negotiation, and development.

The research analyzed the biography of the editors of the newspaper of the 2nd Moscow State University "Za Leninym" as well as their role in the management of the publication. We used archival documents of the 2nd Moscow State University which have not been studied before. The newspaper "Za Leninym" was published from 1926 to 1930. Its editors were students and employees of the 2nd Moscow State University. In the 1920s of the twentieth century university mass media were established. There was an acute shortage of professionals who could help the large-circulation press to reach a professional level. The study found that media played an important ideological, informative, and educational role. The newspaper "Za Leninym" was no exception. The leadership of the 2nd Moscow State University was genuinely interested in publishing a newspaper, the editorial board was appointed, the issues of the newspaper and the content of "Za Leninym" were repeatedly discussed. The role of newspaper editors in its development and improvement of the quality of the content of materials and layout was also crucial. Especially it is interesting to learn about the editors who really made a big contribution into science and in the history of the country (Y. Uranovsky, A. Bagdasarov, Y. Bugaysky). Thanks to the editors the newspaper which they wanted to close at its very beginning really took off and was being published regularly until 1930 under the name "Za Leninym", and since 1931 under the name "Kultarmeets".

It is appropriate that this tenth volume of Frontiers be one of the most important publications in the history of education abroad. The number and range of research articles on outcomes of student learning abroad that are presented in this issue would have been hard to imagine when we published the first volume of Frontiers in 1995. On behalf of the editorial board, I want to extend a special thanks to Guest Editor Mick Vande Berg and the Co-Guest Editors Jane Edwards, Hiram Maxim, and Michael Woolf. They have been a delight with which to work, and have done an outstanding job through the stages of manuscript selection, editing and production of this volume.  Frontiers readers will be please to know that we expect to publish two volumes in 2005, as well as in succeeding years. This is made possible for three reasons. First, we have received additional support from new sponsors, and we thank them and our existing sponsors both for their generosity and for their belief in the mission of Frontiers. We are proud to be supported by academic institutions that are committed to strongly to international education. Second, there is more research being conducted in education abroad than ever before, and as a result, we are receiving more quality manuscripts. We have always believed that the quality of our content matters more than the frequency of our publication, and we are pleased that we now are receiving more high-quality research. Finally, we expect to begin to publish outstanding examples of student research abroad in future volumes as part of our collaboration with the Forum on Education Abroad. We believe that these will be of great interest to our readers and help to document the substantial learning outcomes of study abroad.  The first volume of Frontiers was published in 1995, and therefore next year marks our tenth anniversary. Our next volume will include a retrospective look at the history of Frontiers as well as how the journal’s evolution has mirrored developments in the field of study abroad. Since our first volume, we have published over 100 articles and essays, and these, we hope, have helped both to inspire and to inform the field of study abroad.  I want to take this opportunity to extend a special thanks to Dickinson College for continuing to provide substantial institutional support of Frontiers. And, I also want to thank you, our readers, for continuing to cross the frontiers of study abroad in each volume that we publish.  Brian Whalen, Dickinson College

History Of

As the official journal of the African Association of Nephrology (AFRAN), the African Journal of Nephrology (AJN) publishes research on kidney diseases by African and other researchers. AJN has reached a significant milestone in this first issue of Volume 20. This is the first issue which was prepared and published using our new web-based platform. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the editorial board, the reviewers and the authors for their role in the successful migration to the new platform. To mark this milestone, and to coincide with the March 2017 AFRAN/AFPNA Congress in Cameroon, we are delighted to publish a special article on the history of AFRAN by Professor Rashad Barsoum, one of the co-founders of AFRAN. Contributions to the success of AFRAN by the International Society of Nephrology, and by colleagues from Europe, America and Africa, are acknowledged. This is an illustrated story of our association told by its founding president, which is now immortalised in AJN. This issue also features an original article reporting on malignant kidney tumours in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Nephroblastoma and renal cell carcinoma remain the leading kidney malignancies, as also reported worldwide. Finally, two interesting case reports conclude this issue: a case of IgG4-related nephropathy and a successful pregnancy in a patient on chronic haemodialysis.

Abstract1: Comparison is the essence of science and the field of comparative and international education, like many of the social sciences, has been dominated by quantitative methodological approaches. This paper raises fundamental questions about the utility of regression analysis for causal inference. It examines three extensive literatures of applied regression analysis concerned with education policies. The paper concludes that the conditions necessary for regression analysis to yield valid causal inferences are so far from ever being met or approximated that such inferences are never valid. Alternative research methodologies are then briefly discussed.
