Datasets for "The voices of home educated adolescents: a participatory research study exploring their home education experiences" PhD project

The study is a participatory research project with young people aged 13–17 who are home educated. They used vlogs, blogs, or visual boards to collect data on their experiences of being home educated, with a particular focus on their perceptions of their educational outcomes and social development.

The dataset includes resources created by participants, including a vlog, three blogs and three visual boards. The vlog is an insight into how playing video games is an opportunity of learning for the participant: it demonstrates his interest in historical events and weaponry. Furthermore, the research project and creating the vlog itself was a new experience for him and was seen as a learning opportunity and became integrated into his home education experience.
