Resumo: In this article some historical, epistemological and methodological issues related to comparative studies in the social sciences are addressed, with specific reference to the field of education. The starting point is a discussion of the meaning of comparison, its logical structure and its presence in science and in everyday life. It follows the presentation and critical appraisal of the perspectives regarding comparison as a scientific method. It is argued that, even rejecting this restrictive meaning of comparison as a method, there is some consensus on the specificity of comparative studies within the social sciences. And in relation to them, the article address in more detail those studies that can be defined as trans-contextual (cross-national and cross-cultural), with emphasis on the main methodological and technical challenges they face. The socio-historical comparative perspective, which has gained importance in recent years in the field of education, is also discussed.

A partir de una consideración general de la comparación, su estructura lógica y su presencia en la ciencia y en la vida cotidiana, se avanza hacia la presentación y valoración crítica de las posturas que la definen como método científico. Por otra parte, se sostiene que, aún cuando se rechace este significado restrictivo de la comparación como método, existe cierto consenso en torno de la especificidad de los estudios comparativos en las ciencias sociales. Y en relación con ellos, en el artículo se discuten con mayor detalle los de carácter trans-contextual (cross-national y cross-cultural), con énfasis en los principales desafíos metodológicos y técnicos que afrontan. Se analiza también la perspectiva comparativa socio histórica, que ha adquirido importancia en los últimos años en el campo de la educación.FACED - UFRGS2017-06-16info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/educacaoerealidade/article/view/67609Educação & Realidade [Education & Reality]; Vol. 42 No. 3 (2017)Educação & Realidade; v. 42 n. 3 (2017)2175-62360100-3143reponame:Educação & Realidadeinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)instacron:UFRGSporenghttps://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/educacaoerealidade/article/view/67609/48590https://seer.ufrgs.br/index.php/educacaoerealidade/article/view/67609/48591Copyright (c) 2017 Educação & Realidadeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPiovani, Juan IgnacioKrawczyk, Nora2018-06-25T18:01:54Zoai:seer.ufrgs.br:article/67609Revistahttps://seer.ufrgs.br/educacaoerealidadePUBhttps://seer.ufrgs.br/educacaoerealidade/oai||educreal@ufrgs.br2175-62360100-3143opendoar:2018-06-25T18:01:54Educação & Realidade - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul (UFRGS)false
