tandfonline.com – A look over students’ shoulders when learning mathematics in home-schooling

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: Abstract This study aims to uncover some key elements of successful home-learning of mathematics, based on students’ perceptions, during the COVID-19 pandemic and offer recommendations for mathematics learning beyond the crisis. Throughout our work, we aimed to examine students’ reflections on mathematics learning and learning environments that assisted their ease of transition from in-school face-to-face learning to home-schooling during the COVID-19 isolation. In this paper, we will present how mathematics learning has changed for upper secondary school students in Austria and outline students’ perspectives in relation to their new learning experiences during the period of school closures. Through the use of case study principles enhanced by some design-based research approaches, we were able to illustrate that (a) familiarity with the… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – Norwegian students’ experiences of homeschooling during the COVID-19 pandemic

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Norwegian teachers and school leaders had to organise and provide homeschooling for their students from March to May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey conducted in May 2020 examined lower secondary school students’ experiences of distance learning. How students at different levels of academic achievement (based on grades) experienced homeschooling was compared to comparable findings from a survey conducted on students from the same schools during the autumn of 2018. The findings indicate that students experienced less support and feedback from their teachers during homeschooling, and that teachers gave more written than oral feedback to the students during homeschooling than they do in regular school. Furthermore, there was a tendency of lower efforts and self-efficacy among… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – ‘Homeschooling in times of corona’: exploring Mexican and German primary school students’ and parents’ chances and challenges during homeschooling

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The Corona virus (COVID-19) crisis forced many countries to follow strict protocols ordering schools to close. With schools under lockdown, homeschooling has become the only form of schooling available. Reports have indicated that parents and students have struggled with the challenges of homeschooling. Against this background, this study explored primary school students and parents’ educational chances and challenges during homeschooling in two countries: Mexico and Germany. Comparing these two countries can shed light into potential differences of how inclusive approaches have been incorporated in homeschooling. Following a qualitative approach, thirteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents and school students. Results from a qualitative content analysis revealed that parents across both countries face challenges to organise homeschooling and motivate… Continue Reading

tandfonline.com – A systematic review of the empirical research on selected aspects of homeschooling as a school choice

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT This article gives the demographic characteristics of the U.S. homeschooling population and the reasons that parents choose to homeschool, summarizes the findings of studies on the homeschool learner outcomes of academic achievement, social development, and success in adulthood, and proposes future research on parent-led home-based education. The majority of peer-reviewed studies on academic achievement reveal a positive effect for the homeschooled students compared to institutional schooled students, while a few studies show mixed or negative results. Regarding social and emotional development, a large majority of studies show clearly positive outcomes for the homeschooled compared to those in conventional schools. A majority of the studies on the relative success of the home-educated who later became adults show positive outcomes… Continue Reading
