Learn from Home During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Perspective on Mothers as Proxy Educators

本研究關注10位母親在COVID-19疫情下在家學習，使用質性研究方法瞭解母親與孩子一起進行活動、觀察孩子在家中的行為以及如何影響他們的孩子。在此背景下，記錄、蒐集與分析這些故事中的四個主題，包括母親成為代理老師、在家學習的表現、反思學習方式、覺察關係品質。結果發現，母親兼代教育者所思考到的是在師生期待和學校提供之間的不可預期性，包括線上學習對孩子的影響、創造理想的互動、直接參與課程、反思學校教育的意義、心智狀態、使用媒體的社會互動，以及在家學習產生的新體驗。母親們透過成為代理教育者，可以協助導引孩子自主學習，發展相應的技能與學校互動。母親在家與孩子一起合作，降低在線上學習的無聊並建立常規，創造互動的感受與積極的學習空間。

This study highlights the diverse voices of 10 mothers of homeschoolers. Qualitative research methods were used to understand the activities that parents performed with their children, what they observed in their children’s behavior at home, and how it affected their children. For this purpose, this study was conducted according to the autoethnography, a method used to describe and collect experiences. Within the context of this study, the opinions of mothers of their children receiving transformation of school education in the home school during their quarantine period were elicited. As a result of the analysis of the interviews conducted within the context of this study, four themes gathered under these stories were picked up, including “mother to be proxy educator,” “performance of learning from home,” “reflect on form of learning” and “awareness of quality of relationship.” As a conclusion, the thoughts for the mother instead of proxy educator were found to be “unpredictability between the teachers and student” expectations and what is offered by the school, including the effects of online education on the child, creating interactional ideals, engaging in curriculum directly, reflecting on educational meaning and mindful status, social interaction of media use, and their encounter with the new experience of homeschooling. Through being a proxy educator, mothers can help children navigate their own self-learning and promote positive coping skills and school interactions. Proxy educators working with children can reduce online boredom and establish a routine, which could create a sense of interaction, and a positive learning environment.
