Abstract (Englisch):One of the rationales behind international comparative research in education is the idea that a country may be able to learn from other educational systems, policies and practices. In order for that to happen, we need both general theories of educational development and insight in how particular systems function. Most of the work in comparative and international education has in fact been the study of one specific system or pheneomenon. The methodologiocal frameworks of comparative education have valued such case studies diverse. In this paper two principal definitions of case study research are distinguished: an ethnographic definition and a non-ethnographic definition.It is shown that in particular the latter offers the possibility to generalise from individual cases. As comparative educationists we should travel between the general and the particular. Such a journey would result in the kind of 'general' and 'particular' knowledge much needed in comparative and international education. (DIPF/orig.)
