Curriculum Development and Pedagogical Approaches in Pakistani Homeschooling
Abstract
The current research is directly pertinent to the subject of concern, with the primary goal of identifying the current homeschooling curriculum and instructional models in Pakistan. This research employs a qualitative research approach to establish the factors that lead to the choices for the curriculum by homeschooling parents in Pakistan as well as the methods of teaching used by homeschooling parents. Lastly, the findings of the research study presented in this paper fill the identified gap in the literature and extend the knowledge of homeschooling practices in Pakistan regarding the opportunities and challenges of homeschooling in the country. Knowledge deduced from this study will be quite useful to the policy makers, educationists, and the homeschooling parents and a good base will have been laid to enhance the understanding of homeschooling in the context of Pakistan and how its implementation can affect the current education structure.
