Abstract

Home education, in particular Confucian home education, has been increasing steadily in China over the past decades. However, research relating to home-schooling families has largely been ignored. In particular, the literature grounded in empirical study and focusing on the development of Confucian home education is negligible in the educational context of China. This study places a focus on the influence of Confucian culture and beliefs on the development of home education in China, which is now attracting scholarly interest and public attention. It provides in-depth information regarding the status of Confucian home education, the motivation to undertake Confucian home education, teaching content, teaching methods and its outcomes. It is found that Confucian values and beliefs fit well with the model of home education in China in terms of the relationship between family, education, moral development and society.
