Parents and Science Education: Parents' at Home Learning Experiences During the COVID Lockdown
Get PDFBetween 2020 and 2023, the COVID-19 lockdown resulted in massive school closures. Parents now had their children being educated at a distance and had to balance their work and life in a new way. This shift to home-based learning cultivated a new experience for parents. I conducted a phenomenological study with five participants. The phenomenon under investigation was a parent���s experiences with educating their child at home, with particular emphasis on science education, and the meaning the parent attributed to those experiences. Of the five parents who volunteered to participate in this study, one parent had already been home schooling her children when the lockdown occurred and three were current public educators.
I collected data from the participants utilizing a survey and interview protocol. The analyses of the survey responses and the interview transcripts revealed four main themes. (1) The experiences participants lived through were overwhelming both in terms of their time-management and emotional capacity. (2) They were rewarding as they allowed growth in parenting skills and an appreciation for community. (3) Each participant was reflective of education���s role in their lives and found positive and negative aspects. (4) Participants were hopeful for the future and planning how to best help improve education.
The study findings generated some implications that parents should focus on some particular skills in homeschooling and school districts must focus efforts on building relationships with parents in their community to encourage involvement and increased discourse regarding the nature of science. In light of other research regarding the lockdown, considerations can be made. (1) Schools should consider the best practice for integrating situated learning and assessment based on parent-defined success. (2) School districts must implement strategies to support parent involvement and accurate understanding of the NOS. (3) Parents must fight to ensure the best for their children and that requires keeping track of policy and maintaining partnerships with public educators. (4) Researchers can support these goals by focusing on describing what makes students successful, not to force comparisons of which modality is always best, and describe how to address parents NOS understanding
