Description

This study explores the approaches and methods used by home educating parents to facilitate their child's transition to tertiary education and the working world. These parents provided capital through autonomy, self-exploration, and community experience. Their methods included a strong advocational element to provide opportunity for the young person. Although divergent from mainstream pathways, their methods proved sufficient to facilitate a successful transition for the young person to tertiary education and the working world.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
