@article{oai:aue.repo.nii.ac.jp:00007935, author = {Venema, James}, journal = {愛知教育大学研究報告. 教育科学編}, month = {Mar}, note = {text, This paper investigates the development and current state of homeschooling in North America, which has seen consistent growth since the 1970s, particularly in the United States. The growth in popularity, as well an increase in advocacy groups in both Canada and the United States, has seen a corresponding increase in research. While much of the research suffers from issues in sampling and bias, general findings seem to indicate neutral or positive educational outcomes. This paper also looks into the development of a unique ‘schooling at home’ program in the province of British Columbia in Canada called distributed learning. In general, research and trends suggest ‘schooling at home’ presents possibilities for meeting diverse student and community needs.}, pages = {119--127}, title = {The Evolution of Homeschooling in North America}, volume = {70}, year = {2021} }
