Abstract:

Parents and caregivers across the nation are seeking ways to restructure education and provide new opportunities for their children. Among the alternative educational options, home schooling seems to be at the forefront. The research pertaining to home schooling is growing; however, there are still areas that need considerable attention. The purpose of this study was to investigate selected aspects of home schooling, also known as Competent Private Instruction (CPI) in Iowa, mainly the choice of curriculum and factors associated with that choice. The current study examined (a) the demographic characteristics of the selected population, (b) the type of curriculum used by home schooling families, (c) demographic characteristics associated with the type of curriculum chosen, (d) the adoption of a faith-based curriculum, and (e) the demographic characteristics associated with the adoption of a faith-based curriculum. Primary data were obtained for 4 of 12 area educational agencies (AEAs) in Iowa for the school years 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 from information provided on Form A, which was required by the Iowa Department of Education to be completed by home school families. These data were grouped into regions for easier comparisons. Results of the data analysis indicated that the demographic characteristics of the selected population were similar to those reported in national studies. Parents primarily chose a prepackaged curriculum for both reading and math instruction, and the majority of the curriculum in all areas was largely faith based. In addition, the region of Eastern Iowa was significantly more faith based than the Western or Central region. No significant interactions were found between age, gender, or days of instruction and the type of curriculum or the adoption of a faith-based curriculum.

Abstract:

Although still a substantial minority, there now exists a sizable and growing population of parents in the United States making the decision to educate their children themselves, in their own homes. Curiosity, skepticism and often misperceptions abound about this group of people. Scholarly inquiries into the world of homeschooling have tended to focus on parental motivations to homeschool, characteristics of homeschoolers, homeschooling methods and homeschooling outcomes, usually measured by standardized test scores. Perhaps the largest body of research has sought to sort and classify homeschoolers according to various typologies. Research to date has shed a great deal of light on what appears to many a somewhat shadowy niche of American society. While helpful, many of these studies are severely limited and have sometimes produced, I will argue, misleading results. Using in-depth qualitative interviews with homeschooling families in North Carolina, I explore some of these issues. I will argue that none of the various homeschooling typologies work when compared to the lived experiences of actual homeschooling families. I suggest that a concentration on what homeschoolers have in common is more useful than attempts to subdivide and force them into ill-fitting typologies. I explore the connections between sociological theories of modernization and homeschooling. Specifically, I adapt and expand theories of reflexive modernity and argue that homeschoolers are best understood as social innovators at the micro-level through a practiced reflexive-modernization. I conclude with a discussion of the implications of designating homeschoolers as âreflexively modernâ.

Abstract:

Throughout the second half of the twentieth century, the historic milestone of having a free school place for all children in our country and in most developed countries was achieved. Universal and free schooling was intended to ensure educational equity and social cohesion. Years later, some adverse and critical reactions started to appear as a result of weaknesses of mass schooling. In response, some families chose not to school their children and to educate them at home. They are called ‘homeschoolers’. Although in Catalonia this type of education is not regulated, this group of families has not stopped growing. The challenges facing these families are many. On the one hand, the lack of legal legislature does not allow them to access academic qualifications; on the other, despite the great courage and commitment involved in devoting themselves to the full-time education of children, this non-recognition leads to social marginalization and misunderstanding. The purpose of this thesis is to know the reality of homeschoolers in our country and especially to focus on the less studied aspect of this group which is the pedagogy they use; the different methodologies, curricula and activities they carry out in their day-to-day work. In short, to know the pedagogical contributions they make to society
Al llarg de la segona meitat del segle XX s’aconseguia la fita històrica de disposar d’una plaça escolar gratuïta per a tota la infància del nostre país i de la majoria dels països desenvolupats. L’escolarització universal i gratuïta pretenia garantir l’equitat educativa i la cohesió social. Anys més tard apareixen algunes reaccions adverses i crítiques derivades de les febleses de l’escolarització de masses. Com a reacció, algunes famílies optaren per no escolaritzar i educar els seus fills a casa. Són els anomenats homeschoolers. Tot i que a Catalunya aquesta modalitat educativa no està regulada, en l’actualitat aquest col·lectiu de famílies no ha deixat de créixer. Els reptes als que s’enfronten aquestes famílies són diversos. D’ una banda la manca de legalitat no els permet accedir a les titulacions acadèmiques, de l’altra, tot i el gran coratge, compromís i valor que implica dedicar-se a l’educació integral dels fills a temps complet, el no reconeixement social els aboca a la marginació i a la incomprensió. La finalitat d’aquesta tesi és conèixer la realitat homeschooler al nostre país i sobretot centrar-nos en l’aspecte menys estudiat d’aquest col·lectiu que és la pedagogia que empren; les diferents metodologies, currículums i activitats que realitzen en el seu dia a dia. En definitiva conèixer les contribucions pedagògiques que aporten a la societat

Financial literacy has become a prominent topic of discussion since the latest economic downturn. Although many studies reveal that our youth’s financial literacy is low, no study to date provides an overview as to how our youth are learning financial literacy concepts. This dissertation seeks to explore how homeschooling families prepare their children to be financially literate. This study reviewed four sensitizing concepts: (a) communication, (b) engagement, (c) outside influences, and (d) parental perspectives based on the learning theory: Legitimate Peripheral Participation. Twenty primary educators in homeschooling families from a variety of states were interviewed for this study. Out of the twenty participants, eight were classified in the elementary age group, five were classified in the middle school age, and seven were classified in the high school age. Each sensitizing concept was examined for each school age group. This exploratory study found that parents who homeschool tend to focus on three main topics of personal finance: debt or the avoidance of debt, savings, and budgeting. Little evidence suggests that parents help their children with the mechanics of these behaviors. There were three important findings extracted in this study. First, the results suggest that homeschooling parents need to become better prepared to teach their children about money, and second, that personal finance should be thought of as a core subject in the elementary age years in lieu of just a life skill. Finally, this study found that there is a large focus around personal finance topics in the elementary age years and the high school years, with little attention to personal finance behaviors for the middle school age group. The results of this study provide those entities that advocate improved financial literacy an understanding as to the “how” parents who homeschool prepare their kids to understand money.

Abstract:

Here is a concise handbook of trustworthy, research-based information about learning and teaching for those interested in homeschooling. It is also very helpful for teachers in other arenas such as private schools, public schools, and church education programs. Exhaustive coverage is not the goal, but a concise, user-friendly guide is. Chapters cover: theories of learning, academic ability, personality factors, choosing curriculum, motivation, discipline, testing, physically designing a learning area Homeschooling can be used as a user-friendly text for a college-level course on homeschooling. It contains most of the topics included in a traditional educational psychology textbook, but is written in simpler language and includes applications for homeschooling.

Abstract:

Homeschooling families in the state of Texas face challenges when developing their children's learning curriculum as they attempt to address state mandates with only limited guidelines for developing effective curricula and evaluation strategies to measure student learning. The resulting problem is that homeschooling parents are left to develop their curricula with little guidance. The absence of such guidance may create undue pressure for both the homeschooling parent and their child, while simultaneously creating the possibility of limiting student achievement. The purpose of the project study was to explore the challenges parents face in developing their homeschool curriculum in the state of Texas. Using the theoretical framework provided by Bronfenbrenner's process-person-context-time model, 10 homeschooling parents from 10 different families shared their experiences to address the guiding research question, which explored motivational factors in the design of homeschool curricula, including the use and sharing of resources. Through the use of a qualitative case study that employed semistructured interviews and field notes as sources of data, 5 themes emerged following a narrative analysis process to code the data: (a) time with family, (b) safe learning environment, (c) practical and meaningful lessons, (d) socialization, and (e) biblical training. The findings were developed into a white paper to provide parents with strategies to embed these 5 themes into a useful, quality homeschool curriculum. This project study has implications for positive social change by providing homeschooling parents in the state of Texas with curriculum design guidance from fellow homeschooling parents that can provide a basis for developing quality curricula that reflects common core values within their community.

Full text

Abstract:

U.S. military members and their families relocate from one duty station to another on average once every 3 years. Children in military families change schools often, introducing potential problems such as struggling to make new friends, having trouble adjusting to new teaching styles, and losing academic credits due to the transition from one school to the next. Homeschooling that incorporates online resources can provide instructional continuity, social interaction opportunities, and submission of required periodic assessments. The primary purpose of this phenomenological study was to examine the experiences of military parents involved in homeschooling their children using online resources. The research questions were designed to explore these experiences and to create recommendations for other military families. A conceptual framework based on a constructivist learning approach and change theory informed this study. Data were collected from 9 parents with many years of experience homeschooling. The parents were interviewed via phone, e-mail, and Skype. Data were analyzed using open coding, axial coding, and hierarchical coding. Parent participants chose homeschooling due to dissatisfaction with available schools, family location, and flexibility. Online resources were described as making it easier and more engaging for students to learn and as simplifying the parents' instructional and management tasks. These alternative methods replaced or augmented traditional educational methods. Parent participants encouraged other parents to reach out and seek help early in the process. This study promotes positive social change by providing resources for alternative ways children can be educated while one or more military parent is serving and defending the United States of America.

Abstract:

Three groups of parents, ten who had chosen to homeschool their children, and twenty public school parents, ten who had sent their children to the Montessori program and ten who had sent their children to the regular program completed three locus of control measurements and a Q-sort on educational beliefs. Twelve parents were later interviewed. Homeschooling parents were found to feel more in control of their children's destiny and less controlled by chance and powerful others than were schooling parents. Montessori parents felt less controlled by chance than traditional parents. There were no differences in measures of internality. Results of the Q-sort indicated that subjects did not fall into readily identifiable liberal, moderate and conservative groups. The Q-sort, in fact, yielded four factors, one liberal factor focusing on 'self-actualization', one factor focusing on moral development and good citizenship, and one focusing on a challenging academic curriculum. The fourth factor was similar to the self-actualization factor but slightly more conservative. Factor I was comprised primarily of homeschoolers and Montessori parents, Factor II of only 'Christian' homeschoolers, Factor III of Montessori and traditional parents and Factor IV of traditional parents only. Interviews suggested that homeschooling parents were well-informed about child development and education while Montessori and Factor III traditional parents were well informed about child development.

Abstract:

Homeschooling has become a viable educational choice for families; however, limited research has been conducted on the instructional strategies homeschooling parents use to instruct their children and whether these reflect a learner-centered teaching approach. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore the learner-centered instructional strategies homeschooling parents use to teach their children mathematics. The conceptual framework for this single-case study was based on Weimer's learner-centered teaching model. Participants included 4 parents who homeschooled students in Grades 6-12 in a Western state and who received instructional support from a private school. Data were collected from interviews with homeschooling parents, online reflective journals maintained by homeschooling parents, and documents related to the homeschooling mathematics program. Data analysis included coding and examining emerging themes and patterns and discrepant data. The results indicated that the homeschooling parents aligned only a small amount of their instructional strategies with Weimer's learner-centered teaching model by trying to make mathematics fun, interesting, and relevant to their children's lives. They also differentiated instruction and chose curriculum that included some critical-thinking problems. The homeschooling parents taught using more traditional methods in which they were the primary instructors and made most of the decisions about the instructional content. The results of this study can contribute to positive social change by aiding curriculum designers and educators in their exploration of learner-centered and other instructional strategies they can use to design curriculum and instruct their students.

Parental Stress With Homeschooling K-6th Grade Children in a South Florida District. Jennifer A. Myers, 2015: Applied Dissertation, Nova Southeastern University, Abraham S. Fischler College of Education. ERIC Descriptors: Homeschooling, Stress, Stress Management, Coping This applied dissertation study was designed to inform and advance knowledge by using a quantitative approach to determine if perceived parental stress in homeschooling parents varies as a function of age, income, education, and ethnicity. Previous research in the field of homeschooling has primarily been qualitative in nature, thus, leaving a gap in the research.

Home schooling parents of K-6 grade children in South Florida districts were specified as the sample for the study. A perceived Stress Survey and demographic questionnaire were administered to 102 participants. Parental participants were male and female, all ethnicity, and ages 18 and older, who were homeschooling K-6th grade children in South Florida. Inferential statistics were used to draw conclusions from the sample tested. The Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 23.0 was used to code and tabulate scores collected from the survey and provide summarized values where applicable. Logistic regression analyses of variance (ANOVA) were used to evaluate the two Research Questions and hypotheses. Analysis of the primary data indicated that age, income, level of education, ethnicity and number of children homeschooled had no significant effect on perceived stress. Implication from findings suggests that behavioral characteristics of the child may mediate the relationship between stress and parental characteristics. The study is a valuable addition to the homeschooling research community as it aligns with and extends findings from previous research.

Teaching & Learning
Ed.D.
The gap between actual and expected use of technology in education prompted an exploration of my suspicions that human thoughts, feelings, and experiences with technology are central to the problem. While many internal factors influence teachers, this study explores the impact Lankshear and Knobel's mindsets have on teachers' decisions to implement digital technologies in education. Specifically I ask how mindsets about knowledge production and technology are mediators of, and mediated by, the activity of literacy teaching and learning in homeschooling environments. I reached over a hundred homeschooling parents through network sampling and a hundred parents submitted a survey designed to place them in one of four quadrants on a grid, assigning them a Mindset 1 rating and Mindset 2 rating. I randomly selected volunteers for each quadrant. I coded and analyzed nineteen interviews according the elements in the Cultural Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) heuristic and Lankshear and Knobel's mindsets. Findings indicate that mindsets do mediate technology use in literacy teaching; educators with high Mindset 1 (M1) ratings engage in more traditional educational methods, using technology for enhancing traditional literacy practices. Educators with high Mindset 2 (M2) ratings only implement technology for transformative practices if they also hold a low M1 rating. Regarding transformative use of technology (an M2 outcome), educational institutions must decide whether they want technology to transform instructional processes, literacy outcomes, or products or both.

Abstract:

Jennifer Howard. Adkins April 12, 2004 51 pages Directed by: Dr. William Pfohl, Dr. Antony Norman, and Dr. Reagan Brown Department of Psychology Western Kentucky University In the United States today there are approximately 1.5 million students being home schooled. With this ever growing number, it is important to examine this unique population in order to determine the effects this alternative form of education will have on these students, not just academically, but in other areas as well. The purpose of this study is to examine the concepts of emotional intelligence and social skills in home schooled students. One hundred home schooled students and their parents participated in this study by completing emotional intelligence and social skills questionnaires. Results of the study support the hypotheses that the home schooled students would have higher levels of social skills and lower scores on the problem behaviors scale than the standardization population. In regards to emotional intelligence, differences were found among the elementary and secondary grade levels of the home schooled children. Home schooled elementary students achieved higher scores than the standardization population on two of the seven areas measured. No significant differences were found in the other areas. Home schooled secondary students achieved higher scores than did the standardization population on four of the seven areas measured. No significant differences were found in the other areas.

Abstract:

A general problem is that testing a homeschooled child for learning disabilities (LD) is not required in the state of Texas and therefore dependent on the homeschooling parent’s recognition and desire to test. A qualitative exploratory method was used to determine the perceptions of parent/teachers on their struggling high school students’ learning, potential to have specific learning disabilities (SLDs), and college readiness. In addition, perceptions of parent/teachers’ self-efficacy and self-advocacy, with potential transference to students were explored. The sample included 56 homeschooling parent/teachers from one of four participating homeschool organizations in Texas. An Internet survey link was used to collect data. Parent/teachers’ views and perceptions were shared on their experiences with struggling high school students. The following perceptions emerged: (a) parent/teachers felt effective identifying their students’ area of struggles; (b) parent/teachers felt confident understanding their students learning style; (c) parents felt adjusting their students’ lesson was an effective strategy to reduce learning struggles; (d) parents felt they effectively handled the demands of teaching their struggling student; (e) parent/teachers largely joined homeschool organizations for support, services, programs, and/or resources; (f) parent/teachers felt their student could effectively describe their strengths and weaknesses; (g) parent/teachers did not think their struggling student had a SLD; and (h) parent/teachers felt their struggling high school student was college ready. Most parent/teachers acknowledged positive levels of self-efficacy and self-advocacy, yet, the need to have a stronger sense of transference to their struggling homeschool student was found. Future studies are recommended to increase knowledge and literature on homeschooling families with struggling learners during elementary, middle, high school, and through college.

Abstract:

This thesis challenges the liberal skepticism towards homeschooling as a legitimate form of education provision. Drawing on the work of Shelley Burtt and critiquing that of Meira Levinson, I argue that an exposure to diverse life choices in not a necessary precondition for autonomy and that "comprehensive" educations such as homeschooling can be autonomy-fostering environments. I examine Amy Gutmann's theory of democratic education as a method for safeguarding individual liberty while ensuring conscious social reproduction and from it I argue that democratic education does allow for the permissibility of homeschooling. I then look more closely at the reality of homeschooling and the potential pragmatic and ideological benefits of it to liberal-democratic society. In conclusion, I call for an increased openness between states and homeschooling families in order to benefit the development of democratic citizens.
Cette thèse met au défi le scepticisme libéral envers l'enseignement à domicile comme forme légitime d'éducation. En m'appuyant fortement sur les ouvrages de Shelley Burtt, et en critiquant ceux de Meira Levinson, je propose que d'être exposé à une variété de choix de vie n'est pas une condition préalable à l'autonomie et que des éducations « compréhensives » tel que l'enseignement à domicile peuvent être des environnements qui favorisent l'autonomie. J'analyse la théorie d'éducation démocratique d'Amy Gutmann comme mesure de protection de la liberté individuelle tout en assurant la reproduction sociale consciente et j'en conclus que l'éducation démocratique permet effectivement l'enseignement à domicile. J'examine ensuite plus profondément la réalité de l'enseignement à domicile et les avantages pratiques et idéologiques potentiels qu'il peut apporter à la société libérale démocratique. En conclusion, je préconise une plus grande ouverture entre l'état et les familles de l'enseignement à domicile afin de favoriser le développement de citoyens démocratiques.

Abstract:

Environmental attitudes are shaped by a variety of factors including our educational history, cultural background, childhood and life experiences, and past and current interactions with nature. This research set out to examine attitudes toward the environment in an understudied but growing segment of the Canadian population, homeschoolers. The purposes of this study were to investigate whether environmental attitudes in Canadian homeschoolers differ from those of people involved with public school and to acquire a greater understanding of the factors that affect the development of these attitudes. The mixed method, follow-up explanatory research design utilized the New Ecological Paradigm Scale and the Connectedness to Nature Scale in an internet survey. The survey was sent to homeschooling and parent groups across Canada. Subsequently, interviews were conducted with a subsample of respondents. The results of the survey showed that demographic variables were not significantly related to environmental attitude scores with the exception of locale and religion. Urban respondents had slightly stronger environmental attitudes than rural respondents. The confluence of homeschooling and religiosity emerged as the key factor influencing environmental attitudes. There was no significant difference between environmental attitudes of homeschoolers and public schoolers until importance of religion was taken into account. As measured by the scales, religious homeschoolers exhibited the weakest environmental attitudes, public schoolers were in the middle, and not-as-religious homeschoolers had the strongest environmental attitudes. The qualitative data supported these results, with religious homeschoolers expressing weaker iv environmental attitudes, particularly in terms of climate change and the need for a more sustainable lifestyle. Religious homeschooling respondents favoured a more structured back to basics style of schooling which also correlated with lower environmental attitude scores. Unstructured homeschooling respondents tended to choose a child-centred philosophy of education which was correlated with stronger environmental attitudes. During the interviews, respondents were asked to reflect on what in their lives had influenced their attitudes toward the environment. Consistent with other literature, unstructured outdoor time as a child remained the most significant factor, cited by a majority of respondents. Other important factors included religion, parents, school, teachers, TV/media, economic necessity, and negative experiences with environmental pollution. The results of this study highlight the importance of considering variables associated with religion when exploring the development or level of environmental attitudes or when conducting a study of homeschooling. Religious beliefs are complex and highly personal in some cases, as is their corresponding influence on environmental concern. Potential exists for environmental concern and action from a group of spiritual people with strong community bonds and often political involvement. The key may be finding common ground and learning to communicate, while resisting expectations of complete agreement. This dissertation showed that stepping outside of the educational system does not necessarily have a direct impact on environmental attitudes, as they are mediated by a complex array of variables. Homeschooling may not directly generate a different level of environmental attitudes than public school; however, religious v homeschoolers definitely have a different set of attitudes toward the environment that deserve further in-depth study.

Abstract:

Since the 1960s homeschooling has increased in popularity across the United States. While homeschooling was deemed illegal in all 50 states, by 1993 homeschooling was legal in every state. As homeschooling was legalized, each state created its own ways of monitoring and supporting homeschooled students. In 1991 when the state of Iowa legalized homeschooling, the Iowa legislature created Home School Assistance Programs (HSAPs), which used public school funds to provide state-certified teachers to supervise homeschooled families. The purpose of this study was to apply the theoretical model of the parental involvement process created by Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler (1995, 1997) to examine differences between parents who homeschooled within a HSAP and those who homeschooled in a different manner. Specifically, the study explored parental involvement, parents’ perceptions of their life context, parental self-efficacy, social-contextual motivators of involvement, and parents’ perceived invitations from their children. The study also investigated the extent to which HSAPs serve homeschooling parents and the viability of HSAPs as a means of serving homeschooling parents. Findings suggest that there were no significant differences between parents who homeschool using a HSAP and those who do not in regard to any of the aforementioned categories. However, there was a significant difference in parental role activity beliefs based on the size of the HSAP in which a participant was involved, such that participants who were involved with a larger HSAP reported being more involved in their children’s education than parents involved with a small HSAP. No additional significant differences were found regarding the size of the HSAP or the geographic setting of the HSAP. Overall, the results of the study demonstrated that parents who homeschool are similar in parents’ motivational beliefs, perceptions of specific invitations from their children, perceived life context, and home-based involvement behaviors, regardless of their involvement with a HSAP.

Abstract:

A presente tese tem como finalidade compreender a natureza, os fundamentos e as condições históricas segundo as quais, no Brasil e no mundo, vem se desenvolvendo um movimento social integrado por pais e diversos outros agentes públicos e privados pelo qual procuram garantir e realizar a educação de crianças e adolescentes de modo desescolarizado, por meio de modos e técnicas que não se identificam com o modo escolarizado de educar, mas sim com um modo integrado de educação afinado com as possibilidades atuais do processo de ensino-aprendizagem e o atendimento das necessidades globais das crianças e adolescentes, visando o pleno desenvolvimento de suas personalidades e potencialidades segundo um sentido de formação da pessoa humana dentro de parâmetros valorizados por crenças do tipo não materialista. Além disso, oferece uma reflexão sobre os marcos constitucionais e legais que atualmente orientam a doutrina e a jurisprudência brasileiras quanto ao direito à educação de crianças e adolescentes, demonstrando que, com fundamento nos direitos humanos fundamentais que foram sendo assegurados desde os primórdios das revoluções liberais nas constituições do mesmo jaez, bem como nas declarações internacionais de direitos humanos aplicáveis à esfera da garantia dos direitos da criança e do adolescente, a Educação Familiar Desescolarizada mostra-se constitucional e desejável, não havendo motivo fundado para que o Estado brasileiro a proíba. Finalmente, oferece diretrizes gerais tanto no sentido da legalização e regulamentação da Educação Familiar Desescolarizada no Brasil quanto no sentido de uma abordagem educacional integrada que leve em conta as dimensões física, intelectual, moral social e espiritual da pessoa ainda em desenvolvimento, de modo coerente com os motivos que fundamentam a opção dos pais pelo modelo desescolarizado de educar.
This thesis aims to understand the nature, the foundations and historical conditions under which, in Brazil and in the world, is developing an social movement integrated by parents and various other public and private actors which seek to ensure the education and conduct children and adolescents deschooling mode through methods and techniques that do not identify with the educated way to educate, but more in tune with an integrated mode of education with the current possibilities of the teaching-learning process and the care of global needs children and adolescents, aiming to fully develop their personalities and capabilities according to a direction of formation of the human person within the parameters valued by beliefs not materialistic. Moreover, it offers a reflection on the constitutional and legal framework currently guiding doctrine and jurisprudence Brazilian for the right to education of children and adolescents, showing that, on the basis in fundamental human rights that have been secured since the beginning of the liberal revolutions in the constitutions of the same ilk as well as international declarations of human rights applicable to the sphere of ensuring the rights of children and adolescents, the Family Education Desescolarizada shows up constitutional and desirable, there are no reasonable grounds for the state to prohibit the Brazilian. Finally, offers general guidelines both in the sense of legalization and regulation of Family Education Deschooling in Brazil and in the sense of an integrated educational approach that takes into account the physical, intellectual, social, moral and spiritual dimensions of the person still in development, consistent with the reasons for the choice of parents to educate the unschooling model.

Abstract:

Educational Psychology
Ph.D.
Along many dimensions, homeschooling is increasing, diversifying, and spreading globally. Yet little is known about the motivational climates and teaching strategies parents have adopted to promote academic achievement and motivation within their homes. Working within a self-determination theory (SDT) framework, this study used cluster analysis to examine the naturally-occurring types of learning environments created by 457 homeschool parents. Measures of support for autonomy, mastery goal orientation, and conditional regard were adapted for a homeschool context and used as constituting variables. Follow-up measures of need satisfaction, efficacy, student academic engagement, teaching practices and demographics were used to identify significant differences among groups. A five cluster solution best fit the data: a high need support group, low need support group and three groups of mixed need support. In general, the high need and mixed need support groups were associated with higher student engagement, need satisfaction, efficacy for homeschooling and frequent use of teaching strategies that promote autonomous motivation and support for student competence. The low need support group was significantly associated with lower need satisfaction and teaching strategies associated with control. Higher levels of academic engagement were reported for those students homeschooled longer and at higher grade levels. Male teaching parents (n = 29) reported significantly less need satisfaction and were significantly associated with the low need support group. Taken together, the findings extend self-determination theory to an important, emerging learning context. Results were consistent with findings in SDT research across other domains; thus, lending support to the universality of SDT's main tenets.

Abstract:

Home schooling has steadily been increasing in the past decade. According to a survey in 2007, about 2.5 million children were being home schooled in the US. Typically, parents provide education at the convenience of their home and in some cases an instructor is appointed for the same. The Home School Timetabling problem (HSTP) deals with assigning subjects, timeslots and rooms to every student. In doing so, there are certain hard and specialty constraints that are to be satisfied. Integer programming (IP) has been used in solving the HSTP as it has the advantage of being able to provide information about the relative significance of each constraint with respect to the objective. A prototype in the form of a GUI has been built such that the parent can enter each student’s name, his/her subjects, duration, days and time for each subject, availability times of the parent etc. This data is then fed into the IP model so that it can generate a feasible timetable satisfying all of the constraints. When a solution is found it is formatted to provide the weekly timetable for each student, individually, as well as a complete timetable for all students each day.

Abstract:

A presente tese tem como objetivo analisar os princípios e fundamentos do ensino em casa, bem como sua possível normatização no Brasil. É crescente o número de famílias brasileiras que optam por ensinar seus filhos em casa ao invés de enviá-los para as escolas, apesar da interpretação vigente de que a legislação federal não admite tal prática de ensino, apresentando como compulsória a matrícula em instituição escolar. Tal fenômeno tem suscitado a ação do Poder Judiciário, a apresentação de Projetos de Lei pela sua regulamentação e o interesse da sociedade sobre uma forma alternativa de ensinar os filhos, além do debate e de reflexões sobre o tema. Seguindo tendências internacionais em prol da normatização do homeschooling, os favoráveis ao ensino em casa no país têm reivindicado o uso dos Documentos Internacionais de proteção aos Direitos Humanos para exigir a primazia dos pais na escolha da educação dos filhos e se organizado por meio de associações para exercer influência sobre o Poder Legislativo e divulgar o tema na sociedade. Acresce-se ao debate jurídico questionamentos como: Os argumentos utilizados pelos pais ao rejeitarem a instituição escolar como espaço de formação acadêmica e social revelam-se válidos? Quais os fundamentos filosóficos e políticos presentes na contestação do Estado em relação à compulsoriedade da educação escolar? É possível compreender o ensino em casa como uma alternativa à escolarização de crianças e adolescentes no Brasil e rejeitar a idéia de que a escola detém o monopólio nas questões de socialização e formação para a cidadania? Seria essa modalidade de ensino viável para todos ou esta representaria apenas o descompromisso de poucos com a educação enquanto um bem público? O que a normatização do ensino em casa no país acarretaria para o debate sobre a ação e a formação docente? Estas e outras questões sobre o tema são objeto de análise da presente tese, que, com base em pesquisa bibliográfica e entrevistas com famílias que ensinam os filhos em casa, traça um panorama do ensino em casa, questionando-o como um possível caminho em busca de uma educação que englobe o alcance de resultados acadêmicos e o cumprimento de objetivos constitucionais para a educação como o pleno desenvolvimento da pessoa e seu preparo para o exercício da cidadania. Destaca-se que todo o debate decorrente do tema em análise visa à contribuição para os enfrentamentos necessários dentro de um contexto de luta em prol de uma educação pública de qualidade para todos.
The current thesis aims at analysing the tenets and the basis of homeschooling, as well as its possible regularisation in Brazil. The number of families that decide to teach their children at home has been increasing, besides understanding that the present federal legislation does not permit such brand of education and makes compulsory the enrollment of infants in an educational institution. This phenomenon has incited specific actions of the Judiciary, the presentation of Bills for its regulation and the interest of society in an alternative way of teaching their kids, not to mention the debates and reflections on the subject. Following international tendencies in favor of the regularization of homeschooling, people who defend teaching at home in the country have reclaimed the use of international documents of Human Rights Protection to require the priority of parents over their childrens education and organised associations to exert influence over the Legislature and advertise the topic for the society. In addition to judiciary debate some questions have risen, such as: Are valid the arguments presented by parents to reject the school as a place to academic and social education? Which are the philosophical and political principals behind States refuse in relation of the compulsion to school education? Is it possible to see homeschooling as an alternative to school education of children and adolescents in Brazil and reject the idea that educational institutions have the monopoly over socialization and citizen formation issues? Would this type of education be viable to everyone or it would just represent the disengagement of a few ones with public education? What would the regulation of homeschooling bring on for the debate on teacher practices and teacher training? These and other questions about this subject are the focus of the thesis presented here, which is based on bibliographical research and interviews with families that teach their kids at home. It reveals the panorama of homeschooling and investigates it as a possible way to an education that is able to encompass academic results and the achievement of constitutional goals to the full development of the individual and their capacity to exercise citizenship. It is important to emphasize that all the discussion over the topic in question intends to contribute to the necessary confrontations for a high-quality public education for everyone.

Abstract:

Magíster en Educación con mención en Informática Educativa
El propósito de la presente investigación es describir las significaciones socioculturales sobre el uso de las Tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) en el contexto del homeschooling en Chile, a partir del discurso de los padres que educan a sus hijos en casa, en los niveles de educación básica. Este estudio se plantea desde el enfoque cualitativo, utilizando el método de la Teoría Fundamentada según Strauss y Corbin (2002), considerando las principales estrategias de microanálisis de datos: codificación abierta, codificación axial y muestreo teórico. El trabajo de campo consistió en la realización de 10 entrevistas en profundidad, en las cuales se abordaron dos focos de interés: el homeschooling y el uso de TIC en este contexto. Los datos recogidos en las entrevistas fueron complementados con notas de campo recopiladas en terreno, mediante la observación participante. Los resultados tras el análisis de los datos dan cuenta de que el concepto “homeschooling” no es unívoco entre las familias que educan en casa y que los padres utilizan, además, otras expresiones para dar cuenta de su propia práctica educativa. Por otro lado, las TIC, son entendidas principalmente como las herramientas y servicios asociados a la web social e Internet, además de software educativo y aplicaciones digitales, las cuales son integradas en diferente grado en relación al valor que cada familia les asigna. Finalmente se distinguen cinco tipos de significaciones sobre uso de TIC en el contexto del homeschooling: (a) Las TIC como alicientes frente a la decisión de educar en casa; (b) las TIC como herramientas tangenciales al desarrollo del homeschooling; (c) las TIC como herramientas facilitadoras en la práctica del homeschooling; (d) las TIC como herramientas indispensables en la práctica del homeschooling; y, por último (e) las TIC como elementos que entorpecen el desarrollo natural de los niños

Abstract:

Education is examined within the context of religious beliefs and values found in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons). Education is defined as the process of becoming like God. An investigation is conducted into the stewardship and responsibility parents have for the education of their children. This responsibility is determined to be a sacred stewardship that cannot simply be delegated to others in society. All education is shown to be religious in nature. Conflicts between the beliefs and values of different members of society are found to be at the heart of many of the difficulties in education. The secularization of Western civilization and education is described. The history of public schooling in America is examined, and the current status of the public school system is analyzed. On the basis of this analysis, parents are urged to be more vigilant in attending to the responsibilities of educating their children. Several suggestions are made for how parents can become more responsible for the education of their children, and one of these options, home schooling, is explored in some depth. Two Latter-day Saint home-schooling families are examined using qualitative research methods. Their philosophy of education is considered at length and described in detail. The methods they employ in the education of their children are investigated and described. A detailed account of a week in the life of each family is also included. The study closes with an examination of what it means for parents to pass a goodly heritage on to their children. Passing on a rich heritage is found to consist in seeking the Spirit of the Lord, following the counsel of Church leaders, and keeping the commandments of God.

Abstract:

Home education is a growing phenomenon in Australia. It is the practice whereby parents engage in the full time education of their children at home. This study used a phenomenographic approach to identify and analyse how home educating parents conceive of their roles as home educators. Data analysis presented an outcome space of the parents‘ qualitatively different conceptions of their roles as home educators. This outcome space exemplifies the phenomenon of the roles of parent home educators. This thesis reports on the qualitatively different ways in which a group of 27 home educating parents viewed their roles in the education of their children. Four categories of description of parent home educator roles emerged from the analysis. These parents saw themselves in the role of a (1) learner, as they needed to gain knowledge and skills in order to both commence and to continue home education. Further, they perceived of themselves as (2) partners, usually with their spouse, in an educational partnership, which provided the family‘s educational infrastructure. They also saw themselves in the role of (3) teachers of their children, facilitating their education and development. Finally, they conceived of themselves as (4) educational pioneers in their communities. These four categories were linked and differentiated from each other by three key themes or dimensions of variation. These were the themes of (1) educational influence; (2) educational example; and (3) spirituality, which impacted both their families and the wider community. The findings of the study indicate that home educators experience their roles in four critically different ways, each of which contributes to their family educational enterprise. The findings suggest that home educators, are bona fide educators and that they access parental qualities that provide a form of education which differs from the educational practices characteristic of the majority of Australians. The study has the potential to generate further understandings of home education for home educators and for the wider community. It may also inform policy makers in the fields of education, social welfare, and the law, where there is a vested interest in the education and welfare of children and families.
