Abstract

Natural learning is a countercultural home education approach characterized by the notion of freedom and autonomy in life and learning, intertwined in cultural environments. Using purposive sampling, two single parents from a “township” culture provided an in-depth understanding of natural learning in their context. A case study design was used to collect data, and thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The results show that home education is a viable space to embed learning and culture and that educational spaces can be creatively transformed to reclaim and reaffirm culture. This study also amplifies the voices of the historically marginalized in home education research.
