Abstract

The present research examined the application of EBP in homeschooling, by comparing the attitudes and views of homeschool inspectors and homeschooling parents regarding academic, emotional, and social issues with the findings of the relevant research. The results indicated a considerable gap between the views of the inspectors and parents and the research-based evidence. A significant difference was also found between the views of the inspectors and those of the parents regarding the effects of homeschooling, where each group held unequivocal views that contradicted those of the other. The discussion suggests possible explanations and implications of these findings.
