Wprowadzenie: Jednym z głównych skutków blokady Covid 19 było zamknięcie szkół i przejście na naukę w domu dla większości dzieci poprzez internetowe lub hybrydowe modele nauczania i uczenia się. Pojawią się jednak pytania o jakość tego modelu, zwłaszcza w świetle ostatnich posunięć politycznych mających na celu zmniejszenie różnic edukacyjnych w całym kraju. Cel badań: Celem tego artykułu jest zebranie najnowszych badań dotyczących edukacji domowej podczas pandemii Covid 19 i przedstawienie teoretycznego wyjaśnienia na tle polityki z określonym celem zmniejszenia nierówności w edukacji. Metoda badań: Dokonano przeglądu literatury artykułów, które odnoszą się do doświadczeń związanych z nauczaniem domowym dzieci i rodzin, a także bardziej ogólnych skutków blokady. Wyniki: Wyniki pokazują wyraźne różnice w doświadczeniach związanych z edukacją domową pod względem zasobów i postaw oraz oferty szkolnej. Koncepcje kapitału kulturowego i deprywacji kulturowej zostały wykorzystane do wykazania, w jaki sposób nierówności utrzymują się pomimo niedawnej polityki mającej na celu zmniejszenie nierówności. Wnioski: Nauczanie w domu wyraźnie skoncentrowało się na nierównościach dotyczących sposobu, w jaki szkoły zapewniają nauczanie w domu oraz tego, jak dzieci i rodziny mogą korzystać z tego, co zostało zapewnione. Wskazuje, że potrzebna jest zmiana kulturowa. Edukacja została przekazana do poziomu jednostki i aby nastąpiła prawdziwa zmiana, potrzebne jest bardziej kolektywne podejście.

Introduction: One major effect of the Covid 19 lockdown has been the closure of schools and the switch to home learning for most children through online or hybrid models of teaching and learning. However, questions would be asked about the quality of this model, especially in the light of recent policy moves to reduce educational differences across the country. Research Aims: The aims of this article are to draw together recent research into home schooling during the Covid 19 pandemic and provide a theoretical explanation against a policy background with a stated aim of reducing inequalities in education Method: A literature review was carried out of articles that relate to the experiences of home schooling for children and families as well as more general effects of lockdown. Results: Results show clear differences in home schooling experiences in terms of resources and attitudes, and school provision. Concepts of cultural capital and cultural deprivation have been used to show how inequalities continue to persist despite recent policy aimed at reducing inequalities. Conclusions: Home schooling has brought inequalities into sharp focus over how schools deliver home schooling and how children and families are able to take advantage of what has been provided. It indicates that a cultural shift is needed. Education has been devolved to the level of the individual and for real change to take place, a more collective approach is needed.
