【 摘 要 】

Theaim of this article is to analyse the influence that the paradigm ofPostmodernism exerts, as a reaction to Modernism, and what theconsequences of all these are in a globalized world: the adoption of areflective disposability in crescendo and an increasedconsciousness and openness to diverse perspectives, which lead to adopt acertain component of relativism, criticism and irony in education. Withall this, the spectrum of "uncertainty" is growing, due to thecontinuous changes which are developing around it. As a consequence, two theoretical proposals emerge from Comparative Education, learnologies and transitologies,which contribute to a new vision of the discipline. While the first oneinterprets the incessant changes, which require new educational codesin order to understand the transformations of the world, the second onerefers to the closest reality of the subject and the access toknowledge. To sum up, Comparative Education has found a new directionfrom both proposals, and it will probably lead to diverse Comparative Educations or a phase of Neo-comparative Education.
