Parental Experiences of Unschooling : Navigating Curriculum as Learning-through-Living, Paperback / softback Book

Parental Experiences of Unschooling : Navigating Curriculum as Learning-through-Living Paperback / softback

Part of the Studies in Curriculum Theory Series series

Paperback / softback

Pre-Order

Description

This volume explores unschooling as a growing phenomenon within the broader field of home education and considers the unique position of parents who engage in this self-directed form of education with their children.

Drawing on an in-depth hermeneutic phenomenological study, the volume investigates the double consciousness of parents as they balance the costs/benefits of unschooling and navigate the roles of leading/following and parenting/teaching in the education and upbringing of their children.

The author conceptualizes unschooling in the context of curriculum theory and situates it within the larger home education movement.

By highlighting the fluctuating, (un)divided position that parents assume, the volume examines how learning and living are rendered inseparable in unschooling, thereby revealing unschoolers’ experience of a curriculum of learning-through-living.

This book will be of great interest to researchers, scholars, and postgraduates working across the fields of curriculum studies, parenting and family studies, and the sociology of education.
