The purpose of this study was to compare the academic
achievements of standardized test to homeschooled children and
public-school children. Families were invited to participate in
the study through posting in the community, radio, and email.
Interested parties contacted the researcher to schedule home

appointments. The candidates were screened during a telephone
interview to ensure that the homeschooled children never
attended public schools and the public-school children were
never homeschooled.
The sample came from 2 provinces. Nova Scotia and New
Brunswick. The total was 74 children. 37 home-schooled and 37
public schooled, all within the ages of 5-10. Each homeschooled
child was matched to a public schooled child of similar age. The
home-schooled group had 20 boys and 17 girls with a mean age
of 7 years. The public-schooled group had 21 boys and 16 girls
with a mean age of 7 years 1 months. The mean difference in
age between the two groups was 2 months.
This was a correlation study and the Woodcock-Johnson Test
of Achievement was given by the principal investigator. The
tests were conducted in the children’s home and given in
separate rooms from the parents and any siblings in the home.
There were 7 tests used to measure aptitudes. The Letter-Word
Identification Test, The Passage Comprehension Test, The Word
Attack Test, the Science Test, The Social Science Test, The
Humanities Test and the Calculation Test.
They transformed the raw scores in each of the seven tests
into difference scores by subtracting the child’s predicted grade
level from his or her actual level (both predicted and actual
levels were derived from the Woodcock-Johnson scales) A
positive score indicated the number of years a child was
functioning above grade level, whereas a negative difference
score indicating that the child was not meeting grade level
standards.
The results were that the children who received structured
homeschooling were superior to the children enrolled in public
schools across all 7 tests. A multivariate analysis of variance
(MANOVA) was conducted that included scores from all seven
tests. The MANOVA was appropriate because multiple
measures were providing indicators of achievement. The tests
were used as the dependent variable and the two groups, public
school and structured homeschool was the independent variable.

The MANOVA confirmed that the level of standardized
achievement was in favor of homeschooling.
My analysis of the testing was that there were variances such
as unstructured homeschool and structured homeschool. The
structured home school taught from a lesson plan like most
public schools do. The unstructured homeschool taught with no
clear guidelines, the results indicate that structured homeschool
did score higher, than non-structured. At the end of the day the
results still came to be homeschool children achieve higher. So,
I can’t see that as being fair in results.
The next variance was the educational background of the
mothers. The article said that the educational background had
no bearing. I disagree with that. It is known that children whose
parents are educated have a greater chance of their children
achieving at a higher level. I think another study should be done
with structured home school and public homeschool. These
groups seem to be similar since both are using a lesson plan.
I also think that the environment should be something to be
considered again. What are the changes that the homeschool
children are already in their element whereas the public-school
children are not? Would the test results would have been
different if the homeschool children took the test in a public
school where they are not comfortable? I think this was a good
study, but I think it can be more believable if those variances
were not there.

Abstract
Homeschooling refers to education that is home-based or led by
a parent. This form of education has been on the rise in the
recent years. This has been attributed to many reasons. Most of
these reasons emerge on the side of the parents. For instance,
most parents are dissatisfied with the formal education provided
by the government. This is among the reasons why parents are
now opting for homeschooling. This paper will discuss facts
relating to homeschooling, why parents are considering
homeschooling, the benefits and drawbacks of homeschooling.
Key words: home education, philosophical traditions, scripture,
virtue, homeschooling
Facts about Homeschooling
According to Ray (2015), homeschooling is home-based parent-
led education. It is a tradition that was practiced decades ago,
but it has found its way into the current mainstream education
in the United States. It is the fastest growing form of education
in the United States. This form of education is also growing
very fast in other parts of the world. Some parts where this
trend is being evident are the United Kingdom, Thailand, South
Korea, Mexico, Russia, Kenya, Japan, France, Hungary, Canada,
and Australia. Ray goes on to state that families that are
practicing homeschooling do not depend on tax funded
resources and public for the education of their children. The
finances that are associated with homeschooling represent
approximately $24 billion, which most American taxpayers do
not have to spend, yearly, because the children are not learning
in public schools. Ray estimate that there are about 2.2 million

learners who are home-educated in the United States. Also,
approximately 1.73 to 2.35 million children were home educated
in the United States during the spring of 2010. These children
were in the grades K to 12.
What brought a new attention to this phenomenon of
homeschooling is the victory of Rebecca Sealfon in the 1997
National Spelling Bee (Lyman, 1998; Spiegler, 2017)). Rebecca
was a 13-year old child who was homeschooled. Lyman
estimates the number of homeschooled children to reach 1.23
million. As per his argument, the number has been growing very
fast. This is in the past 15 years. The idea of homeschooling is
growing very fast in popularity among the minorities. From a
survey that was carried out by Spiegler (2017), 15 percent of
home educated families are non-Hispanic or non-Whites, that is,
not white or Anglo.
According to Isenberg (2007), the professional education
establishment has been taken by surprise due to reemergence of
homeschooling. In the year 1985, there were about 50,000
children who were homeschooled. This figure went up come the
year 1990. The number grew to 250,000 to 355,000 children.
These estimates by Isenberg were based on three sources. These
were state homeschool associations' estimates of their
constituencies, distribution of curricular packages for
homeschoolers, and data from state education agencies. The
data from these sources were reliable at giving estimates of the
number of children who were homeschooled at the time. This
number tripled within a period of five years, that is, from 1991
to 1996 reaching about 700,000 homeschoolers. The population
of homeschoolers is growing at a rate of 20 percent annually.
There is no state in the United States where the number of
homeschooled children is declining. It is difficult to give
prediction when this growth will taper off. Isenberg estimated
that with the growth rate that is being evident, there will be
about 1.5 to 2 million homeschoolers by the year 2000-01. This
is approximately 4 percent of school-aged children throughout
the nation.

For a long time, private schools had have provided heavens for
parents who were not comfortable with public school
curriculum. The competitive impact of homeschooling is being
felt by private schools. A survey carried out showed that among
the largest number of learners who are being homeschooled
were previously attending private schools (West, 2009). Private
schools, which were based on the movement directed towards
strong, vigorous, and unstructured learning, are losing many
learners to liberal wing of homeschooling movement and to
other public school-choice programs. Many Christian schools
that emerged around 1960s have also lost a significant number
of learners to homeschooling. Homeschooling is not a new
practice or idea. Children have learned outside formal school
setting for many years or centuries. This took place even when
schools were available.
Reasons for Homeschooling
Many parents in the United States and other parts of the world
are quickly losing faith in the American classroom. This has
made homeschooling to become a serious alternative (Burke &
Movement, 2009). A research that was carried out by Burke and
Movement, found out that many parents are not satisfied with
the performance of government-run schools. This has made
parents in America to start teaching their children at home.
There are two historical reasons why some individuals have
decided to go for homeschooling. Ray (2015), terms these two
historical reasons are countercultural-left thread inspired by
John Holt and a religious-right thread inspired by Raymond
Moore (an author). The differences between the two displays
some concerns that make parents decide to choose
homeschooling. There are some parents who want religious
value in education, some are against the conformity and
bureaucracy in the schools, some worry about lack of discipline
and many cases of crime in government schools, other believe
that children are best educated by their parents, and there are
others who are concerned with the declining quality of

education.
Recently, there have been an increased number of homeschooled
learners getting many admissions to selective colleges. This has
signified the effectiveness and growth of homeschooling. Such a
trend has made many parents to opt for homeschooling
compared to private and public schools. The thing that most
parents have realized is that homeschooling has very little
government interference. Due to this, there has been the
production of literate learners compared to those learning in
government program. There is little regulation when it comes to
homeschooling. This has made the work of parents to be very
easy.
There are other parents who base their decisions relating to
homeschooling on thinkers from a variety of philosophical
traditions (Princiotta & Bielick, 2006; (Princiotta, Bielick, &
Chapman, 2004). There are some philosophical thinkers who did
not really favor formal due to some reasons. One example of
these philosophical thinkers is John Locke. Locke argued that
the primary aim of education was virtue. The best place to teach
virtue was at home. Parents are now in pursuit of a liberal
philosophy of education that was advocated by different
educators. Among the educators is John Holt. Moreover, Holt
also argues that the best form learning occurs without the
existence of curriculum. He further stated that learners should
pursue their interests with the encouragement and support of
their parents’ other individuals.
Furthermore, even John Dewey did not argue for formal
education. Dewy showed some regrets for formal education.
Dewy stated, “a society is a number of people held together
because they are working along common lines, in a common
spirit, and with common aims.... The radical reason that the
present school cannot organize itself as a natural social unit is
because just this element of common and productive activity is
absent” (Princiotta & Bielick, 2006). Dewey further argued that
schools turned out to be so isolated from the normal motives
and conditions of life. Also, they were set apart from the

society. Formal schools were one place in the world where it is
hard to attain experience. It is the mother of all discipline that
is now only worth the name. Parents who are intelligent enough
and know the needs of their children have the ability to supply
the child will all the resources that are required for learning.
The child will end up learning due to this support from the
parent. This idea by Dewey was a form of recommendation for
homeschooling. Formal schools had a rigid system.
According to Martin (1997), there are a number a reason why
the parents consider home educating. Most youth and parents
decide homeschooling is the best due to one reason or another.
Among some of the reasons given for homeschooling is that
homeschooling can be individualized or customized to create a
learning environment and curriculum for each and every
student. Other parents believe that it is possible to accomplish
more academically when it comes to homeschooling compared
to formal schooling. Additionally, home education makes use of
pedagogical approaches that are effective even compared to
those that are being used by normal institutional schools.
Family relationship between homeschooled learners and parents
are enhanced due to homeschooling (Martin, 1997). The good
relationship will also apply to others, such as siblings and
relatives. With regards to homeschooling, it is possible for
parents to provide reasoned and guided social interactions with
adults and youthful peers during the process of learning.
Moreover, a safe environment is provided for youth and
children when it comes to homeschooling. This is because
public and private schools are filled with things relating to
unhealthy and improper sexuality, racism, psychological abuse,
alcoholism, drugs, and physical abuse among others. Finally, it
becomes possible to teach and impart a certain set of beliefs,
worldview, and values to the learners through homeschooling
(Martin, 1997).
The article by Princiotta and colleagues, “Million
Homeschooled Students in the United States in 2003,” considers
parents reactions with regards to homeschooling. According to

their study, parents homeschool their children due to religious
reasons (Princiotta et al., 2004). As per their perspective,
religion is one major reason why parents decide to choose
homeschooling over the other methods. Others are issues
relating to special needs of learners, educational quality, and
trust. The reasons are not limited to the ones mentioned since
there are others who have issues when it comes to drugs in
public schools and overcrowding, safety, prevent children from
being exposed to negative peer pressure, and others want to be
the ones who discipline their children.
Religion has been the dominant reason for homeschooling for
many parents (Isenberg, 2007; Martin, 1997; West, 2009). A
number of parents feel that their children are not getting ethical
and moral training much less religious values in public schools
of America. Homeschooling makes it very easier and possible
for parents to pass on their spiritual values to children.
Furthermore, it makes it easier for families to pass integrate
their personal religious values and beliefs into different areas of
curriculum. With homeschooling, it is possible to incorporate
reading and scriptures during the process of learning. These are
scriptures and readings that revolve around the Bible (Martin,
1997).
There are some learners who are having special needs. Caring
for the needs of such children is easier through homeschooling.
Parents feel that they can pay more attention to the needs of
such children at home and give them education that is directly
meant to meet their needs. Parents believe that this is a way of
giving their children an opportunity to learn at their own pace
and level without the need to bring about embarrassing
comparison of learners. When it comes to gifted children, there
are some parents who will homeschool them because they
believe these children are not getting all the required attention
in public schools. With homeschooling, gifted learners will
have additional time or enough time to explore their talent as
well as their academic interests.
Importance of Homeschooling

West (2009), states that there is an increased performance in
homeschooling. According to a research he carried out, home
educated learners score 15 to 30 percentile points above
learners in public schools. This is when it comes to standardized
achievement tests. The home educated learners score above
average on achievement examinations irrespective of the level
of formal education of the parents or the household income of
the family (Martin, 1997; West, 2009). This is one good thing
that is making most parents to consider homeschooling above
other forms of schooling. The academic achievement of
homeschooled children will not be determined by things, such
as whether the parents are or were certified teachers. This good
achievement makes homeschooled learners to be actively
recruited by colleges even compared to learners who have
attended formal institution. The ACT and SAT tests scores,
which are always considered by colleges, for homeschoolers are
usually above average. This is the reason why most colleges are
considering homeschooled learners when it comes to admission.
Burke and & Movement, (2009), state that there is association
between homeschooling and emotional, social, and
psychological development of children. Homeschooling is doing
well. It is performing above average, especially on measures
touching on psychological, emotional, and social development.
Some of the elements that were measured in this study were
self-esteem, participation in community service, family
cohesion, leadership skills, self-concept, and peer interaction.
Home educated learners are usually involved in a number of
activities, such as educational and social activities (West, 2009;
Spiegler, 2017). These are activities that are outside their homes
and with individuals that are other than their nuclear-family
members. Some of the activities that they are commonly
involved in are community volunteer work, sports teams, church
ministry, political drives, 4-H, scouting, and field trips among

others.
Spiegler (2017), discuses a number of benefits relating to
homeschooling in his article, “Parents’ motives for home
education: The influence of methodological design and social
context.” Spiegler states that homeschooling promotes gender
difference in learners and youth respected. According to this
article, homeschooling makes it possible for learners for
children to as question, such as who they are and what they
really want (Spiegler, 2017). Through asking such questions and
being able to answer them, girls develop the resistance abilities
and strength, which gives them a strong sense of self that is
very unusual. There are those who believe that the tendency to
physical expression and energetic nature of boys can be
accommodated easily in home-based schooling. Many
individuals have raised their concerns because a large number
of learners in public school special-education are boy. Also,
boys with attention deficit hyperactivity are likely to be in
public schools 2.5 times compared to girls.
Learners who were homeschooled are likely to have success in
the real world of adult Lyman, (1998). According to survey
based on adults who were home educated is growing. Among
some that have been carried out, it has been found that adults
who were homeschooled take part in local community services
more often compared to those who attended formal learning.
Also, these adults are more likely to attend and vote in public
meetings more frequently compared to their counterparts. These
individuals are likely to take part in challenges and succeed
very easily.
Disadvantages of Homeschooling
One disadvantage of homeschooling is that it may put the
learning of a learner at risk if the process is not properly carried
out (Wahisi, 2012). A child will end up not learning anything if
he or she is being tutored by one who lack the experience and
capabilities of offering home education. This means that home

education should be carried out by individuals who really who
what they are doing and what is right or suited for a particular
learner. Learning should be designed to meet the specific need
of each and every learner.
According to Wahisi (2012), homeschooling encourages
isolation. A child is isolated from other peers since he or she
has to learn at home. The level of interaction between a child
and other age mates is very low. Interaction is very important
since it makes it possible for one learner to learn from the other
learner. However, this interaction does not exist in
homeschooling. A child who is being homeschooled will only
interact most of the time with family members and individuals
doing the tutoring.
Conclusion
Homeschooling is growing popularity in different parts of the
world. There is a boom when it comes to the number of
homeschooled children who are winning selective college
admission. This among other factors is showing the
effectiveness of homeschooling in the society. There are a
number of reasons that parents are having supporting their move
towards homeschooling. Some factors are influential compared
to others. However, most of the parents are driven by the need
to have a system that caters for religious or moral elements as
well as a safe environment when it comes to learning.
This trend of homeschool learning is expected to increase for
unforeseeable time. There are many benefits that are associated
with homeschooling, such as better performance and specialized
learning specifically designed for a learner. Even with all these
benefits, the biggest concern related to homeschooling is
reduced socialization of a child. However, this is a problem that
can be solved very easily. Parents should plan activities to be
carried out by their children and other children, such as the
peers. Doing this will help do away with the biggest concern of

homeschooling.

Final Paper Instructions
This assignment will allow you to create your own customized
theory of human learning and development. Everyone operates
with a theory of what makes the best learning environment and
how people grow and develop. The problem is that most

education professionals’ theories are neither well-informed nor
clearly articulated. Thus, for this paper, you will articulate your
theory of how to establish the best learning environment. You
will support it by using theoretical perspectives of what defines
the best in education from a Christian perspective. Throughout
this course, you have addressed various topics and assignments
that you can use for your Final Paper. Your completed paper
will give you a conceptual framework from which to draw
strategies and practices for the success of all parties involved in
the teaching-learning process.
The paper must be a total of 7 pages: 5 pages for the body, 1
title page, and 1 reference page. It must include at least 6
scholarly sources from the Jerry Falwell Library, plus both
textbooks (Slavin & Schunk and Van Brummelen). All sources
must be published within the past 5 years. Points will not be
deducted if the number of sources you use exceeds the minimum
requirement.
Throughout your paper, you must also weave a solid biblical
basis for your theory that is supported by specific scriptures
referenced by chapter and verse . Your Final Paper must be
concise, well-developed, and follow current APA format.
You may find it useful to focus on the educational area in which
you intend to serve (elementary, middle, high school, gifted,
ADHD, special education, etc.). Information for your
educational theory can be found throughout all the assignments
completed during this course.
Throughout this paper, it is essential that you demonstrate your
understanding of the readings and course work. Your learning
theory must be unified and congruent. Organize your paper
using the following headings:
1) Introduction
2) Learning Theory and Its Importance
3) Description of an Effective Teacher
4) Description of an Effective Learning Environment (Include
discussions of direct instruction, technology, motivation,
classroom management.)

5) Actively Including and Engaging Learners with Diverse
Needs and Exceptionalities
6) Addressing Behavior and Character Development
7) Engaging Students in Learning, Building Self-Efficacy and
Motivation
8) Personal Reflections/Conclusion
Throughout your paper, be sure to include principles of the
developmental learning theories (i.e., Piaget, Kohlberg,
Vvgotsky, Erickson, Bandura, etc.) studied in this course, as
they relate to your educational area and population. Incorporate
specific theoretical terminology that demonstrates your
understanding of each of the theories. Then, support your
customized learning theory from both a developmental and
biblical perspective throughout your paper. You will find
valuable information for each of these sections in your course
textbooks.
The grading rubric for this assignment can be found in
Blackboard and at LiveText.com. Be sure to follow it. If your
degree program is within the School of Education, you are
required to submit your assignment in both Blackboard and
LiveText. You may be exempt from submitting in LiveText if
