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 their children. However, they spent more time with their children. Primary school students in Germany and Mexico are challenged considerably by the loss of social contact.

摘要

日冕病毒（COVID-19）危机迫使许多国家遵循严格的协议，命令学校关闭。随着学校的封锁，家庭学校教育已成为唯一可用的学校教育形式。报告表明，父母和学生为在家上学的挑战而苦苦挣扎。在此背景下，本研究探讨了两个国家（墨西哥和德国）的小学生和父母在家上学期间的教育机会和挑战。对这两个国家进行比较可以揭示在家庭教育中如何采用包容性方法的潜在差异。按照定性方法，对父母和在校学生进行了十三次半结构化访谈。定性内容分析的结果表明，两个国家的父母在组织家庭教育和激励孩子方面都面临挑战。但是，他们花了更多时间陪伴孩子。社会接触的丧失给德国和墨西哥的小学生带来了很大的挑战。
