Homeschooling and Academic Performance of Selected Grade Scholars in the Philippines
Abstract
Homeschooling, also known as home education, is a new paradigm where school-aged children are educated at home or in a variety of places other than a traditional public or private school. This education is typically conducted by a parent, guardian, or sometimes a tutor or online teacher. It was not a new idea. It was practiced before where education primarily took place in the home. However, homeschooling before and now significantly differs from each other. Unlike before, homeschooling now capitalizes on the utilization of the recent technology. As a result, the students do not lagged behind. The institutions using homeschooling do have good internet connectivity to facilitate the education of the students. The study utilized the descriptive research design. It aimed to determine how homeschooling affects the academic performance of intermediate students as assessed by parents, teachers, and the student themselves. It was found out that homeschooling with its sub variables namely the interpersonal skills, emotional well-being and mental ability among the intermediate students were highly observed and the student’s academic performance was assessed to be highly evident, too. The study, therefore, concludes that homeschooling effectively develops among the students strong interpersonal skills, emotional well-being, and mental adaptability leading to their better academic performance.
