@article{Spiegler_2017, title={Parents’ motives for home education: The influence of methodological design and social context}, volume={3}, url={https://iejee.com/index.php/IEJEE/article/view/239}, abstractNote={<p>Parents’ motives for home education are one of the most researched topics within home<br>education research. The focus of this article is on the question of the degree to which the results<br>regarding these motives are influenced and shaped by the applied methods and the<br>social context. The empirical basis is a meta-analysis of twelve research examples from the<br>last two decades. It is concluded that the diversity within the results can partly be traced<br>back to fundamental differences in the methodological design, to the absence of detailed<br>theoretical modelling and remarkable differences of the survey instruments and that the<br>role of the social environment and the process of the construction of motives in a certain social<br>context deserve more attention.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Electronic Journal of Elementary Education}, author={Spiegler, Thomas}, year={2017}, month={Aug.}, pages={57–70} }
