<p class="Body">Homeschool or family-based education, is one form of informal education recognized by the National Education Act in Indonesia. With a wide variety of families running a variety of homeschooling methods, portfolios can be one way to evaluate the learning process of their children at home. The key to build a portfolio is how the portfolio is structured and used in the recordkeeping process of the learning outcomes of everyday children. Therefore, this preliminary study was conducted to get an idea of how homeschool parents aged 7-15 years doing the process of recordkeeping their academic and non-academic activities. Data collection is done by mixed method. A total of 68 parents responded to an online questionnaire distributed through facebook and WhatsApp group with the majority having primary school age children (91.2%) and were previously schooled (67.6%) with their daily activities contain of academic activities (79.4%) and non-academic (98.1%). In addition, in-depth interviews were also conducted with 6 (six) parents whose their children have an interest in sports and the creative worlds. The results showed that almost all respondents recorded their activities by using camera photos for both academic (90.7%) and non-academic activities (86.6%), followed by writings (72.2%) for academic activities, and video recordings (64.2%) for non-academic activities. Obstacles perceived by the respondents generally are (1) consistency of recording and (2) grouping the results of the learning track record in their chosen storage. Although the process of recordkeeping has not been done from the beginning of planning, as the portfolio should be built, from the interviewed respondents, the results of the children's learning record can be given as material for applying for jobs informally because of the network they have. Nevertheless, 92.6% of respondents stated that they need assistance in preparing the portfolio, such as consultation (76.5%), workshop (76.5%), and seminar (44.1%).</p>

Abstract The failure of formal education to educate students substantively, especially in realizing civilized and moral people in accordance with the mandate of the national education law, namely education is a conscious effort to realize students who have faith, then it becomes the forerunner to the birth and development of a new educational model that is family based. Education models that make parents as first and foremost educators are now starting to mushroom and are seen as a solution to the anxiety of parents who have begun to shift their beliefs from formal education to family-based informal education, namely homeschooling. This then becomes the background for the presence of this paper. This paper describes the trend of homeschooling which has begun to develop by studying it in literature and in-depth analysis in order to create solutions to existing problems. The results obtained in this study that homeschooling is a family-based educational model, so that the implementation of the process involves the participation of parents in determining each child's education process. Parents are fully responsible for education and education administration. Starting from the goals, processes, methods to the evaluation. This is because the curriculum in homeschooling is flexible in terms of time, space and content standards. So that in the context of Islamic education with a flexible curriculum it will be much more effective in providing value and understanding as well as subject matter that is in accordance with the expectations of parents, of course also in line with the goals of education This will make learning more functional because children are taught things that are not found in formal schools. Moral development, manners and internalization of Islamic values are easier to implement. Keywords : education, homeschooling, home schooling, education paradigm

The current situation of COVID 19 not only involves global health crisis but also economic and social crises. It has brought about a change in the system of education by conducting all academic activities online. Acc. to ILO, a world of universal distance education (as nearly 94% of learners have faced school closures) is created. Online education is a new concept for most Indians, creates room for incivility. Incivility is defined as a lack of manners, courteousness, and respect which deteriorates the decorum leading to disturbance in teaching and learning of the class. This study is focused on incivility in online teaching and learning. A total of 130 college students from around the country were asked to fill an open-ended online questionnaire to know their views on incivility in the online classroom. The overall thematic analysis resulted in the identification of three themes i.e. reported incidents, possible causes, and measures to reduce incivility in the online classrooms. In the time of pandemic where almost all the dissemination of education is done online to minimize the effect of the pandemic on the education system, incivility is a stumbling block. Therefore, it is important to bring incivility in online education in limelight as tackling incivility is the need of the hour.

Abstract This study explored the views of participants who completed a 5-week, online, interactive, family-based, salt reduction education program (Digital Education to LImit Salt in the Home). A secondary aim was to explore the views of school staff on the delivery of food and nutrition education in schools. Children aged 7–10 years, their parents and principals/teachers from participating schools located in Victoria, Australia, completed a semi-structured evaluation interview. Audio-recordings of interviews were transcribed verbatim and analysed using NVivo. Twenty-eight interviews (13 children; 11 parents; 4 school staff) were included. Thematic analysis revealed that the program was well received by all groups. Children reported that the interactivity of the education sessions helped them to learn. Parents thought the program was interesting and important, and reported learning skills to reduce salt in the family diet. School staff supported the delivery of nutrition education in schools but indicated difficulties in sourcing well-packed nutrition resources aligned with the curriculum. It appears that there is support from parents and teachers in the delivery of innovative, engaging, nutrition education in schools, however such programs need to be of high quality, aligned with the school curriculum and readily available for incorporation within the school’s teaching program.

Abstract Objective – As reference services continue to evolve, libraries must make evidence based decisions about their services. This study seeks to determine the value of reference services in relation to student learning acquired during research consultations, by soliciting students’ and librarians’ perceptions of consultation success and examining the degree of alignment between them. Methods – The alignment of students’ learning outcomes (reported skills and knowledge acquired) with librarians’ expectations for student learning during consultations was assessed. An online questionnaire was conducted to gather responses from students who had sought consultation services; 20 students participated. In-person interviews took place with eight librarians who had provided these consultations. The online questionnaire for students included questions about students’ assessments of their self-identified learning goals through consultation with a librarian and their success at applying the knowledge and skills gained. Librarian interviews elicited responses about students’ prior research experience, librarians’ objectives for student learning, librarians’ perceptions of student learning outcomes, and perceived consultation success. The responses of both the students and the librarians were coded, matched, and compared. Results – Students and librarians both considered the consultation process to be successful in advancing learning objectives and research skills. All students reported that the consultations met their expectations, and most reported that the skills acquired were applicable to their projects and significantly improved the quality of their work. Librarians expressed confidence that students had gained competency in the following skill sets: finding sources, search strategy development, topic exploration, specific tool use, and library organization and access. A high degree of alignment was observed in the identification by both students and librarians of “finding sources” as the skill set most in need of enhancement or assistance, while some disparity was noted in the ranking of “search strategy development,” which librarians ranked second and students ranked last. Conclusion – The data demonstrate that both students and librarians perceived individual research consultations as an effective means to meet student learning expectations. Study findings suggest that as reference models continue to change and reference desk usage declines, research consultations remain a valuable element in a library’s service model and an efficient use of human resources.

The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are part of a third wave of school reform in the United States. With accompanying tests, these standards combine calls for increased academic rigor, beginning in the 1980s, with more recent efforts to hold schools, teachers, and students accountable for learning outcomes in publicly funded schools. Origins of CCSS can be traced to the 1996 National Education Summit where the National Governors Association (NGA), philanthropic foundations, and business leaders founded Achieve to broker rigorous high school graduation requirements. In 2009, Achieve became the project manager for the construction of CCSS. In 2010, implementation began with incentives from the Obama administration and funding from the Gates Foundation. Advocates choose among a variety of rationales: faltering American economic competitiveness, wide variability among state standards and educational outcomes, highly mobile student populations, and/or a growing income achievement gap. Critics cite federal intrusion in states’ rights, a lack of an evidentiary base, an autocratic process of CCSS production, and/or a mis-framing of problems facing public schools. With the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) as the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, federal advocacy of CCSS ended officially.

In 1902 elementary school provision in Oxford diocese – England's largest – reflected the national picture: 72 per cent were church schools, with total rolls of 54 per cent of school-age children. The bitterly contested 1902 Education Act apparently protected the future of church schools, but in practice its provisions severely undermined them, particularly in growing areas of the country. By 1929, Oxford's assistant bishop reported the schools’ situation as ‘critical’. This article examines the impact on the church schools of one rural deanery in South Buckinghamshire, between the 1902 and 1944 Education Acts. Several schools found themselves under threat of closure, while rapid population increase and a rising school leaving age more than quadrupled the number of school-age children in the area. Closer working with the local education authority and other denominations was one option to optimize scarce resources and protect the Church of England's influence on religious education in day schools: but many churchmen fought to keep church schools open at all costs. This strategy met with limited success: by 1939 the proportion of children in church schools had decreased to 10 per cent, with potential consequences for how religion was taught to the other 90 per cent of children.
