Yzobelle Mangahas Leon

Abstract :

This study explores the homeschooling phenomenon as it comes as a possible alternative form of education to the formal education system. Being an alternative, however, requires that it serves the national educational objectives of the system that it seeks to be an alternative to. The central research question that this study asks is how the homeschool curriculum and instruction develop the students in learning to know, which is one pillar of education that it must support. The study utilizes a qualitative exploratory design, having six co–researchers, who participated in individual storytelling sessions and in–depth interviews. The main finding of the study is that the homeschooling experience in the Philippines is strong in developing students’ learning to know as evidenced in their academic independence.
