ABSTRACT 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.

问年轻人：家庭教育的青少年对家庭教育的看法

摘要在许多西方国家，家庭学校教育正在日益普及。对这种做法的检查需要收集“硬”数据，例如高等教育的学业成就和成功率，以及从父母的角度对这种做法进行调查。从在这种框架下学习的孩子的角度来看家庭学习非常重要，但是仅进行了少量此类研究。本研究的目的是研究青少年如何评估家庭学习。对19位在家庭学校环境中成长的年轻人（年龄在16至22岁之间）进行了半结构化的深入访谈。访谈包括一系列问题，旨在检查青少年如何评估家庭学习。调查结果表明主题可以分为四个主要的超级主题：教学的内容和方法；结果–特征；结果–家庭；和成果–社会。关于第一个超级主题，受访者指出了优点和缺点。对于第二和第三个主题，他们仅列举了优势。关于第四个主题，只提到了缺点。研究结果表明，某些主题涉及建构主义学习，而有些则反映了教育的总体目标-社会化和个性化。关于第四个主题，只提到了缺点。研究结果表明，某些主题涉及建构主义学习，而有些则反映了教育的总体目标-社会化和个性化。关于第四个主题，只提到了缺点。研究结果表明，某些主题涉及建构主义学习，而有些则反映了教育的总体目标-社会化和个性化。
