Term | Definition |
---|---|
Home Education | A form of learning in terms of knowledge, skills, and habits through teaching, training, or research at home. In some countries this term includes all learning with children and students with medical conditions apart from learning in hospital and in the usual lessons of the mainstream school. |
Why a glossary?
Due to the fact that the terms related to home and hospital education vary a lot in different contexts and countries, and that in English too there are several different names to refer to similar practices (home tuition, domiciliary learning…) as a basis to ensure an effective communication on the HHE themes, a common glossary is needed.
Therefore the LeHo network developed this one you can find here as a draft. It is till under the reviewing process by LeHo Board of Experts.
