It has appeared recently the first survey with scientific methodology conducted in Spain on homeschooling or home education.
Carlos Cabo is a high school teacher, and he proposes his study from the perspective of Education, in the context of his doctoral thesis, which deals with home schooling in Spain.
The results of this survey evidently make false some myths about home education, especially those that refer to the mentality of parents and that states that the reasons for home schooling are varied and the main reason is usually pedagogical, with ideologies being Extreme or religion aspects of limited influence on the bulk of the collective.
I encourage you to read the full study as it is very revealing about the reasons for home schooling, methodological proposals, ideology and educational level of parents and then share the impressions about it.
We have spoken several times about the homeschooling or education in the hogar, which, despite not being specifically included in the legislation as an option, is a legal and feasible possibility that is gradually spreading in our country, just as is normal in the surrounding countries.
I believe that this survey and the subsequent work that will be carried out will be important for the authorities to include this education option, within the framework of the right of parents, recognized by the Constitution, to choose the education of their children and respecting, of course, The right of children to receive education.
Training conducted at home and not in the face-to-face school, as it has been going on for years in democratic and developed countries with absolute normality, is a valid way of educating and this survey on homeschooling in Spain It is revealing about it.
