Using semi-structured interviews with parents worldwide, the study examines how spatial and temporal arrangements of home-based learning and work changed during the pandemic, and how educational processes and the family’s role adapted to those changes. Findings indicate that boundaries between family roles, between school/work and home, and between leisure and work became fundamentally blurred, with families reporting both temporary and lasting

\nTeachers College, Columbia University  \nHope Jensen Leichter  \nTeachers College, Columbia University  \nThe unprecedented social disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in rapid change within the family and home. This paper uses semi-structured interviews with parents around the globe to examine the following research questions: 1.  \nHow have the spatial and temporal organizations of learning and working in the home been altered throughout the COVID-19 pandemic? 2. What are the alterations in the educational processes and the role of the family in response to the changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic? We found that typical boundaries, those between the roles of family members, between work or school and home, and between leisure time and work time have been fundamentally blurred. While some of these boundaries are more porous than others, families report fundamental shifts, temporary and permanent in the way they organize their home and family, spatially and temporally, and the roles they take on within the family.  \nIntroduction  \nSince the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, society has experienced tremendous social, economic, and cultural deviation. The societal changes that emerged as a result of the pandemic have demanded profound alteration in the overall social system that humanity has built over the past 100 years. With the rise of remote work and schooling came the need for a radical change with regard to the ways in which we use our living spaces, and for families with school aged children, this meant rearranging space and parental responsibilities in order to facilitate children learning at home and becoming more flexible in the way we use our time. This reconfiguration, supported by technology, has created massive changes in the organization of learning and living within the home and for this reason, observations regarding the needs of families with school age children throughout  \n© 2022, Current Issues in Comparative Education, Teachers College, Columbia University.

Education, which has experienced relatively slow transformation in the pre-pandemic era, has undergone major changes in terms of the shifts in the perception of educational stakeholders and the heightened awareness of the structural vulnerability of the traditional education apparatus.  \nThe effects of the virus on education and family life are being felt differently in different locations based on public health and policy realities. In the U.S., there is public sentiment and government support attached to the notion that humanity must‘learn to live with’endemic viruses. This means families and schools can experience unexpected shifts to remote schooling when the number of infected cases rises as a response to the various ebbs and flows of the virus. This too is resulting in the need to shift back and forth between remote work and schooling.  \nCorrespondingly, as society contemplates COVID-19’s potential evolution from pandemic to endemic, families and households have assumed roles beyond the typical functions of a traditional homestead (Kong, et al., 2021). In this period of time when social distancing—the public health practice of physically distancing oneself in social contexts to prevent the transmission of contagious diseases — has led to the mandated, at times erratic, closure of institutions such as schools, libraries, and workplaces, the dependence on informa","cbCaiixyZFhgan5y","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiixyZFhgan5y","pdf",223068,"English","# Introduction\n## Boundaries\n## Research Questions","[{\"question\":\"What research questions does the study investigate about home during COVID-19?\",\"answer\":\"The paper asks how the spatial and temporal organization of learning and working in the home changed during the pandemic, and how educational processes and the family’s role shifted in response to those changes.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the pandemic affect boundaries inside families and households?\",\"answer\":\"The study reports that typical boundaries—between family members’ roles, between work or school and home, and between leisure and work time—became fundamentally blurred.\"},{\"question\":\"What method does the paper use to examine learning and work at home?\",\"answer\":\"It uses semi-structured interviews with parents across different locations to capture experiences and changes in home-based learning and working.\"}]","Current Issues in Comparative Education - Volume 24 - Issue 2 - Special Issue 2022 - Blurred Boundaries: An Examination of Learning and Working in the Home During the COVID-19 Pandemic | PDF",1792090269,48]
