The focus of my research paper is as follows:
What value is placed on literacy education in the home setting?
I am going to base my research using interviews and oral history. I will be interviewing parents of the children that I babysit for and see what value they place on education in the home setting . For the interview portion I have formulated some questions that I would like to ask them in order to get more information and relate it to my central focus.
Questions I would like to ask:
#1- How was education percieved for them when they were growing up?
- I want to know what a typical day for them was when they came home from school. Did they start their homework right away? What would they do if they had trouble with something? Who would they go to for help?
#2- Did their parents show interest in their education? Were they encouraged?
- I want to know what role and what influence their parents had on how they percived and learned literacy.
#3- What practices have they used in regards to literacy and homework with their own children?
- Based on the experiences they had growing up, do they use the same practices or are they different?
#4- Is their anything that they would do different from how they were brought up in regards to learning literacy? Or would they teach their children the same way?
- What is worth keeping to teach your children? What is worth changing?
