在家自行教育資優生的生命故事敘說

Life Story of the Homeschooling Gifted Students

本研究旨在瞭解資優生家庭選擇在家自行教育的歷程、執行概況，以及他們對在家自行教育施行看法與建議，並從中探討學校與在家自行教育資優生家庭兩者之間的關係。研究結果顯示，配合子女的特質或需要安排教育方式是資優生家庭選擇自學的重要因素，在家自行教育最大的優勢就是能夠配合學習者的需求來擬訂課程。其次，追求自我實現是自學家庭的起點與終點，而時間管理是首要的先決條件。最後，研究也發現，選擇自學的重要前提是「意願、目標與資源」，有意選擇此學習型態的家庭宜客觀地審視家庭條件再進行申請辦理。
