“‘The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn’t need to be reformed — it needs to be transformed.””

SIr ken robinson - do schools kill creativity? (Subtitulos en Español)

En el video más visto en la historia de TED Talks, Sir Ken Robinson nos invita a reflexionar y a cuestionarnos el rol que tienen las escuelas en la creatividad de los niños.

“The fact is that given the challenges we face, education doesn’t need to be reformed — it needs to be transformed. The key to this transformation is not to standardize education, but to personalize it, to build achievement on discovering the individual talents of each child, to put students in an environment where they want to learn and where they can naturally discover their true passions.”

- Sir Ken Robinson

Homeschoolers

“Once upon a time, all children were homeschooled. They were not sent away from home each day to a place just for children but lived, learned, worked, and played in the real world, alongside adults and other children of all ages.”

— Rachel Gathercole, The Well-Adjusted Child: The Social Benefits of Homeschooling

Sophie Defaw

A sus 16 años, Sophie nos cuenta su experiencia como Homeschooler en México, nos da su punto de vista acerca de las implicaciones de este tipo de educación y nos comparte cómo para ella y su hermano este modelo ha resultado un éxito total.

Isaac Hernández

Issac Hernández, el séptimo de una familia de once hermanos, nos relata en este video el impacto que tuvo la educación en casa en su desarrollo hasta ser reconocido en 2018 como el mejor bailarín del mundo.

Tanmay Bakshi

A Tanmay lo conocimos en persona en 2017 en el congreso INC Monterrey, donde después de su conferencia magistral en Pabellon M nos regaló 1 hora en privado con unos 6 entusiastas homeschoolers de la ciudad. En ese entonces tenía solo 13 años y ya era un referente mundial en Inteligencia Artificial. Tanmay explica que gracias a que desde 6° grado comenzó a hacer Homeschool, ahora puede dedicar más tiempo a desarrollarse en lo que más le apasiona y que lo ha llevado a recorrer el mundo.

Homeschooling

Aunque en México aún no se cuenta con investigación científica relacionada al modelo educativo en casa, la investigación realizada a través de los últimos años en Estados Unidos nos sirve de referencia para conocer más acerca de las características particulares de este modelo educativo con más de 30 años de implementación en dicho país. Los datos compartidos por el National Home Education Research Institute serán de gran relevancia para aquellas familias iniciando el camino de la educación en casa.

REASONS AND MOTIVATIONS FOR HOME EDUCATING

Most parents and youth decide to homeschool for more than one reason. The most common reasons given for homeschooling are the following:

Customize or individualize the curriculum and learning environment for each child.
Accomplish more academically than in schools.
Use pedagogical approaches other than those typical in institutional schools.
Enhance family relationships between children and parents and among siblings.
Provide guided and reasoned social interactions with youthful peers and adults.
Provide a safer environment for children and youth, because of physical violence, drugs and alcohol, psychological abuse, racism, and improper and unhealthy sexuality associated with institutional schools.
As an alternative education approach when public or private institutional schools are closed due to acute health situations such as related to disease (e.g., Covid-19, Coronavirus).
Teach and impart a particular set of values, beliefs, and worldview to children and youth.

ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE

Homeschool students score above average on achievement tests regardless of their parents’ level of formal education or their family’s household income.

The home-educated typically score 15 to 30 percentile points above public-school students on standardized academic achievement tests. (The public school average is the 50th percentile; scores range from 1 to 99.) A 2015 study found Black homeschool students to be scoring 23 to 42 percentile points above Black public school students (Ray, 2015).

Whether homeschool parents were ever certified teachers is not related to their children’s academic achievement.

Degree of state control and regulation of homeschooling is not related to academic achievement.

Home-educated students typically score above average on the SAT and ACT tests that colleges consider for admissions.

Homeschool students are increasingly being actively recruited by colleges.

SUCCESS IN THE “REAL WORLD” OF ADULTHOOD

The research base on adults who were home educated is growing; thus far it indicates that they:

Participate in local community service more frequently than does the general population.
Vote and attend public meetings more frequently than the general population.
Go to and succeed at college at an equal or higher rate than the general population.
By adulthood, internalize the values and beliefs of their parents at a high rate.

GENERAL INTERPRETATION OF RESEARCH ON HOMESCHOOL SUCCESS OR FAILURE

It is possible that homeschooling causes the positive traits reported above. However, the research designs to date do not conclusively “prove” that homeschooling causes these things. At the same time, there is no empirical evidence that homeschooling causes negative things compared to institutional schooling. Future research may better answer the question of causation.
