Contemporary Homeschool Models and the Values and Beliefs of Home Educator Associations: A Systematic Review
Tilhou, Rebecca
Journal of School Choice, v14 n1 p75-94 2020
Home education support groups and associations are increasingly becoming hubs for home learning communities to share resources and knowledge. This literature review examined (a) motivations for joining homeschool groups; (b) values and beliefs that led to the formation of homeschool groups; and (c) how the culture of homeschool groups aids in children's development. Findings indicated that homeschool families sought groups to share resources, expertise, and common values. Values included the desire for strong family bonds, teaching faith, closely guided social interaction, and responsive pedagogy. Home educators believed that public schooling cannot meet those values. Implications suggest the need for more empirical research exploring how the culture of homeschool groups shapes the development of its members, and additionally, what public education can learn from these alternative educational models.
