Die COVID-19-Pandemie prägt seit Anfang des Jahres 2020 das gesellschaftliche und private Leben auf globaler Ebene. Dabei ist insbesondere der Bildungsbereich durch die gesetzlichen Einschränkungen betroffen. Während der Bildungsbetrieb ab der Sekundarstufe sowie der Hochschullehrbetrieb bereits vor der Corona-Pandemie unter Verwendung digitaler Hilfsmittel erfolgte, hinkte der Primarstufenbereich der ‚Digitalisierung‘ hinterher. Daher braucht/e es gerade für diesen Kontext spezifische Hilfestellungen. Eine davon ist die Website Homeschooling4kids, welche am 6. April 2020 online ging. Diese auf Kinder der Primarstufe und dem österreichischen Lehrplan der Primarstufe abgestimmte Lernplattform wurde innerhalb von drei Wochen von Studierenden entwickelt. Die Website folgt dem Leitbild von Chancengleichheit, Lernmotivation und Abwechslung. Der folgende Beitrag gibt Einblicke in die Prämissen und Ziele, stellt den Aufbau der Website vor und diskutiert die Funktionalität entlang medienpädagogischer Leitlinien.

Lernen in Zeiten der Coronavirus-Pandemie erfordert nicht nur von Schulen und Lehrkräften ein Umdenken gewohnter Strukturen. Homeschooling und Distance Learning beschäftigen durch neue Herausforderungen im Alltag die ganze Familie. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in den noch jungen Forschungstand veranschaulichen drei Fallporträts von Schüler*innen der fünften Jahrgangsstufe wie sich der familiale Alltag verändert, wenn Schule plötzlich zu Hause stattfindet. Kinder erwerben in Rekordgeschwindigkeit neue Medien- und Bedienkompetenzen digitaler Technologien, während Eltern Rollenkonflikte bewältigen, die neben dem Vermittlungsprozess zwischen Schule und Kindern durch beratende, begleitende und prüfende Tätigkeiten bei der Bearbeitung von Schulaufgaben entstehen. Im Hinblick auf zukünftige Distance-Learning-Szenarien zeigt sich hier, inwiefern Schule maßgeblich durch digitale Infrastrukturen das gesamte Familiensystem entlasten und Schüler*innen zur selbstständigen Arbeit befähigen kann.

Ein aktuell laufendes Forschungsprojekt der Pädagogischen Hochschule Niederösterreich widmet sich der Frage, wie Eltern, Lehrkräfte und die Schulleitung die Phase des Distance Learnings erlebt haben und welche Schlussfolgerungen daraus für den regulären Unterricht gezogen werden können. Nach einer Beschreibung der Ausgangssituation und der Darstellung anderer, ähnlicher Studien sollen in diesem Artikel erste Ergebnisse dieses Forschungsprojekts präsentiert werden.

The article is aimed at familiarizing with the so called home education, an alternative form to public education in Poland. Home education offers a chance and creates conditions for natural and independent learning, with regard to individual potentialities, needs and the pace in which children and youth develop. This takes place in contrast to schools, in which children are treated as one, similar (to one another) group – not as a unique team of individuals. What has been presented in this study are the historical and legal threads of home education in Poland, the description of the functioning of schools which are to support homeschooling.

While education is being increasingly permeated by Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the current school is considered outdated and hardly capable of responding to the challenges of our time. Home Education emerges as a growing alternative, especially in developing countries, where it is not yet properly regulated and developed. This article presents a qualitative multiple case study focused on exploring the use of ICT by 70 Colombian families who educate at home. Data analysis was conducted following Grounded Theory’s steps from human, educational and technological dimensions. The results show that, within a context of constant social pressure, parents conceive ICT as mediators that allow them to access open support communities and resources, in order to develop their own guiding skills, enhance the development of their children’s talents, mainly through gaming, collaboration, research and outdoor exploration. This becomes a lifestyle that ends up changing their relationships and family dynamics.

The common school philosophy of the nineteenth century in the United States is revisited from the contemporary perspective. Is the basic ethos of the philosophy of Horace Mann and others still relevant today? This question is examined and applied to the conservative advocacy of free markets, individual freedom, and school choice in order to assess the extent to which the delivery of government-supported education is done in a way that upholds the values of the past while simultaneously addressing paramount issues related to social equity, diversity, and social cohesion today.

Gilles Lipovetisky’s work is a reference to analyze the hypermodern societies. In his last book entitled De la ligereza (2016) the French author studies the paradigm sustaining a civilization based on the notion of lightness. This approach contains implications in the field of education. In this paper we analyze first of all the theoretical possibilities of counterpoising the heaviness and the lightness to encourage the pedagogical thinking. On the other hand, in order to delve into the analysis, we focus on three educative proposals integrating central notions of the light pedagogy which are undergoing a growing demand of their educative proposal: a) homeschooling, unschooling and flexi-schooling, b) Waldorf education, and c) Catalan Jesuit schools participating in the project Horitzó 2020.

Education changes from time to time. In the classical period scientists learn autodidactically with iqra, reading the phenomena observed in the universe. When the era of the industrial revolution happened, education in general are in a schooling system which stiffer and less able to optimize the potential of students, so comes the concept of alternative education that is increasingly in demand and becomes people's choice. One form of alternative education that continues to grow is homeschooling where the flexibility of learning programs is wide enough and homeschooler can study anytime anywhere and with anyone in accordance with their interests, talents and potential. Nowadays homeschooling get recognition from Indonesia ministry department of education and homeschooler are given opportunity to continue their education to higher levels in public or private schools in Indonesia and overseas. Today we are in the digital era. Implementation of homeschooling before and in digital era is certainly different. The digital era like the two opposing sides of a coin, on the one side give a positive influence while on the other side carries a negative influence when it is less wise to use it. This research is a phenomenology research that describes homeschooling as an alternative education and how homeschooling is done in the digital era. The data were obtained through literature study and field study with respondents of homeschoolers in district of Banyumas, Central Java, Indonesia.

The presented research examined the relationship between the use of knowledge, the development level of higher cognitive functions and the type of education. Research was conducted on two groups of third grade students: homeschoolers and public school students (28 children in each of the groups). Students were paired by sex and factors connected to the family environment. Ability to operate knowledge was tested by The original Reading Comprehension Test and the level of development of executive functions (inhibition, working memory, cognitive flexibility and planning) was measured by a set of tasks from Inquisit computer program. Results show that homeschoolers use and utilize their knowledge better than public school students. They comprehend meaning of words more efficiently, understand cause-effect relations better and use relations of superiority-inferiority more efficiently. However, the results connected with executive functions do not show any dominance of any of groups. Ability of inhibition and planning is similar for homeschoolers and public students. Public school students have higher level of memory development whereas homeschoolers dominate in the category of flexibility. The presented results are material for a discussion on the role of the educational system in the development of late childhood students. They can also be used to consider the assessment of the value of home education. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Home schooling is a growing practice in many Western countries. Examination of the practice has entailed collection of "hard" data, such as academic achievements and success rates in higher education, as well as investigation of the practice from the perspective of parents. It is very important to examine homeschooling from the perspective of the children studying in this framework, yet only a few studies of this type have been conducted. The purpose of the present research was to examine how adolescents evaluate homeschooling. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 19 young people (ages 16–22) who were raised in a homeschooling setting. The interviews included a series of questions intended to examine how adolescents evaluate homeschooling. The findings indicated diverse themes that can be divided into four main super-themes: contents and methods of instruction and learning; outcomes – traits; outcomes – family; and outcomes – society. Regarding the first super-theme, the interviewees noted both advantages and disadvantages. For the second and third themes, they cited only advantages. With regard to the fourth theme, only disadvantages were mentioned. The findings suggest that some of the themes refer to constructivist learning and some of them reflect overall aims of education – socialization and individuation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The research dealt with opinions of homeschooling parents on preferred homeschooling methods and forms. Using the questionnaire method, it mapped opinions of 78 parents from Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Poland. It examined the influence of selected variables, i.e. age of parents and number of homeschooled children, on the preference for methods and forms of education. On the basis of research findings it could be stated that younger respondents preferred unschooling more than older respondents. The older respondents, on the other hand, preferred classical teaching methods and forms more. It was also found that the number of homeschooled children had no influence on parents' choice of homeschooling methods and forms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Over the past four decades, states have increasingly regulated the practice of homeschooling. It is unclear, however, what initial conditions prompt states to regulate and whether states use the legislative or judicial system to do so. Using event history analyses, we identify how state‐level political dynamics, social movement mobilization, and educational policies have shaped the timing of pertinent regulatory efforts by courts and state legislatures. Interestingly, predicting the timing of initial government court successes regarding homeschooling regulation is a different story from the one about the conditions that facilitate early adoption of homeschooling legislation. We show that homeschooling legislation reflects state‐level educational, diffusion, and social movement dynamics. In contrast, early regulation via the courts is primarily determined by diffusion, and not by educational or social movement dynamics. Courts are both leading and lagging indicators of homeschooling regulation, because courts react to legislation and vice versa. In contrast, homeschooling legislation tends to be purely a lagging indicator, enacted largely in response to court decisions and in light of highly contentious school‐choice and accountability‐related policies.

In 1988, Van Galen proposed two distinct categories to describe homeschooling parents – ideologues and pedagogues. Her model has been widely cited in the homeschooling literature. In the 30 years since the introduction of these identifiers, homeschooling in the United States has experienced tremendous growth due to a number of intersecting contextual and societal events, which suggests a need to re-examine Van Galen's initial binary categories. Education reform, enacted through standards-based curriculum and assessment, school choice presented as a mechanism to improve the educational experiences of the country's most vulnerable students, greater acceptance of homeschooling as a legitimate school choice, and the diversification of families choosing homeschooling as an alternative to traditional forms of K–12 schooling have all contributed to homeschooling's explosive growth and a corresponding need to revisit homeschooling's conceptual framework. This article proposes an enhanced framework for defining homeschooling, which better reflects the what of school and how of schooling that contemporary homeschooling families employ.

We have heard the warming planet's calls for sustaining rhythms through many events. COVID-19 is one such song. We have returned home with our families to our places in a mandated 'lockdown'. Competitive economics are troubled, and trouble our world with unsustaining patterns. An urgent, convergent conversation about how 'we' (writers entwining) might touch on sustenance more begins between our two families. The children amongst us want to thread into these convolutions too. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article has the objective in reflect on movement homeschooling in the Brazilian educational context, problematizing the contradictions of public education offered by the State and the liberal perspective of home education, through the impacts of this educational perspective on Education while social law. In addition to locating the origins of the topic in question, we will try to expose the reader to the appearance of projects in the Federal Chamber of Brazil, presenting some relevant aspects of the bills for discussion. Finally, from the theoretical perspective adopted in this work and based on the object investigated, we consider the need to build a society that allows education beyond the current structures and, therefore, an education that is effectively a human and social law.

Aim/Purpose This article aims at the critical present: to serve a constructive purpose in the current COVID-19 crisis by presenting practice driven pedagogical strategies for online learning and teaching. It acknowledges the multitude of challenges faced by educators through the delivery of online instructional strategies for schools. Background The development of information technology enables online learning and blended learning to be increasingly popular in extending students’ learning opportunities. Technology-enabled learning approaches make students’ learning more flexible and personalized. In Hong Kong, one of the first few cities where the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak was first reported, school classes have been suspended since the end of Lunar New Year on February 3, 2020. Methodology This research used a qualitative method of multiple case analysis to explore how three educators from primary, secondary, and tertiary institutes employed various strategies to offer learning and teaching as usual. Naturalistic inquiry was used to observe, describe, and interpret the “lived experiences” of the three educators and the perceptions of stakeholders. Contribution Since early February 2020, school classes have been suspended amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Hong Kong, one of the first cities where the coronavirus outbreak was first reported. This timely article overviews effective practices with the use of online learning technologies to support academia from around the world to achieve teaching and learning in an online environment. Findings Results indicate that meaningful cognitive activities rely on teachers’ leading role to build a blended approach that combines the advantages of asynchronous and synchronous methods in order to facilitate social interaction among students. Furthermore, our research has revealed that educators are likely to perceive three non-teaching challenges on a rapid blended transition of the learning – digital divide, data privacy, and professional leadership. Recommendations for Practitioners The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the learning of a generation of students and driven a sudden shift to online learning. Our case study recommends a blended model of asynchronous and synchronous learning as an effective pedagogy that allows learners flexibility, autonomy, and opportunities for learners to socialize with each other, which can be applied at any education level. Impact on Society Technological advancements have made online classes possible, but how feasible is it to believe that a near overnight transition can lead to effective learning and teaching? The current article strongly acknowledges the multitude of barriers that stand in the way of feasibility, capacity building. and delivery of inclusive online instruction for today’s school districts, administrators, curriculum and technology directors, teachers, parents, and students. Future Research In an effort to generate new knowledge within the challenges of the current pandemic, further studies are suggested to examine the longitudinal impact of these blended approaches, the digital divide, inclusive and accessible learning opportunities of vulnerable groups, and psycho-social support for students towards their academic and social development.

The objective is to evaluate whether the educational modality of homeschooling in Brazil is compatible with the existential minimum to education, as a fundamental human right. It uses the logical-deductive methodology, performing the analysis compared with the constitutional text and its provisions on education and homeschooling. The study is divided into two topics: the human and fundamental right to education is addressed with a focus on the composition of the existential minimum; addressing homeschooling in Brazil and its compatibility with the existential minimum, tracing criticisms and constructions from RE 888.815/RS. It is not possible to use the modality, since there is no corresponding legislation that provides a system to guarantee compliance with the minimum requirements, and thus ensure the implementation of the existential minimum to education.

COVID-19 (coronavirus) threw the world into pandemonium and making Nigeria close her institutions of learning. Hitherto, Nigerian school activities have largely been dependent on face-toface interactions. Homeschooling with technology based teachings has helped some parents and learners to cope during the lockdown and it is argued in this paper that homeschooling in Nigeria should become a more widely available and recognised alternative to regular schooling.
