“…For example, M1 and F1 emphasized that, on the basis of their elder daughter's difficulties and negative experiences during the preschool period, they developed certain opinions about the concept of school. The same finding was also reported by Guterman and Neuman (2017). The experiences of the families with regard to the education system led them to choose homeschooling.…”

“…In many studies, quantitative methods have been used by drawing on small-group projects, in-depth interviews, surveys, or questionnaires. Although there is diversity in terms of methodology, the research generally focuses on the reasons why homeschooling is preferred (Anthony & Burroughs, 2010; Collom, 2005; Guterman and Neuman, 2017, 2018; Kunzman, 2017; Neuman & Aviram, 2003, 2008; Rothermel, 2011). As Neuman and Guterman (2019) stated, the reasons reported by the existing research for choosing homeschooling may include cultural, religious, political, economic, and pedagogical reasons.…”

The purpose of this study is to understand the story underlying the preference of parents (mothers–fathers) for home school in Turkey and to determine the main points in this story. For this purpose, this study was conducted according to the narrative study model, one of the qualitative research designs. Within the context of this study, the opinions of mothers and fathers of three children receiving their education in the same home school during their preschool period were elicited. As a result of the analysis of the interviews conducted within the context of this study, three super themes and seven different codes gathered under these themes were obtained. As a conclusion, the reasons for the parents’ choice of home school instead of a formal education institution were found to be “Inconsistency between the parents’ expectations and what is offered by the education system, negative effects of formal education on the child, family ideal, school experiences, educational philosophy and employment status, developmental reasons/concerns, negative social interaction at school, and their encounter with the proposal for home school.”

“…In other words, VPA is the record of spoken thoughts, provided by subject when thinking aloud during, or immediately after completing a task [58]. It is based on the premise that in order to capture a participants real and authentic experiences, we must allow them to express themselves freely [59]. Alternatively, in a narrow sense, this method (protocol) is also defined as think aloud or thinking aloud, and is relatively free-form [60] and open-ended.…”

Low usability of mobile application is thought to diminish the perceived level of the quality by a user whose experiences substantially determines its market success or failure. However, while a single method of measurement employed to study usability may produce an unreliable or incomplete evaluation outcome, in this paper, contrarily we propose to take advantage of both qualitative and quantitative methods adequate to collect data, that would describe all usability attributes. In particular, in the scope of mobile application usability studies, this paper (i) depicts the main assumptions of elaborated M4MAUME methodology, (ii) describes the self-developed software tool (RVDA) for retrospective video data analysis, (iii) specifies the experimental setup, and (iv) discusses the preliminary results obtained from 20 experiments performed on four different groups of mobile applications. Eventually our findings lead us to the conclusion that mixing different methods have produced reliable and valuable outcomes which may be used to improve and manage usability in current and future projects, as well as to enhance existing software quality assurance (SQA) programs.

“…Prior to the industrial revolution, the provision of formal methods of education was limited. The rapid growth of industry transformed western education into legally mandated and institutionalised hierarchical systems, and home education ceased to be the dominant educational mode (Guterman & Neuman, 2017). The reliance on formal institutionalised learning continued until the late 1960s, when criticism of the public education system by educational reformers heralded the emergence of the contemporary home education movement (Knowles, Marlow, & Muchmore, 1992).…”

“…Western countries, in which home education is a legal option, report a significant increase in home education figures with true numbers believed to be in excess of those reported. Estimates suggest there are more than two million home educated students in the United States, 80,000 in England, and 50,000 in Canada (Guterman & Neuman, 2017, 2018Kunzman & Gaither, 2013;Neuman & Aviram, 2003).…”

Reasons for home educating in Australia: who and why?

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Home education is a legal educational option in Australia that continues to rise in popularity. This paper summarises the demographics and influences upon the decision to home educate of 385 home education families from Australia, representing 676 children who were home educated at the time of questionnaire completion. The research suggests female caregivers with higher levels of educational achievement than the general population predominantly coordinate home education. Some families eschewed mainstream education for philosophical reasons whilst others home educated due to perceived necessity. However, characteristic of both groups was the belief that the current education system was unable to provide a learning environment that would meet the educational and psychosocial needs of their children. This was not specific to a particular population of students but included those who were gifted children, or those who had a mental health or neurodevelopmental disorder such as autism spectrum disorder, attention-deficit /hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, intellectual disability and/or impairment in vision and hearing. This has clear implications for policy and resourcing, including in-service teacher training. It also raises questions in relation to the provision of funding for families who home educate their children.
