This qualitative case study investigates families’ views on student change during the 2020 quarantine, focusing on literacy practices amid remote online instruction. Interviews with four parents were analyzed using in vivo coding and Bourdieu’s cultural capital framework, alongside economic status, funds of knowledge, and crisis management. Key themes include shifts in teacher-parent disconnection, varied school-home literacy approaches, and parents’ dispositions, culminating in parentagogy.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research & Report",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/home-literacy-initiatives-of-middle-school-families-during-the-2020-quarantine-period-transformation-in-education/600138/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/home-literacy-initiatives-of-middle-school-families-during-the-2020-quarantine-period-transformation-in-education/600138.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"nayy☆","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-29","2026-10-15",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",6,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What is the main purpose of this study?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"To investigate families’ views about how middle school students’ education changed during the 2020 quarantine period, especially regarding literacy practices.","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"How was the study conducted and analyzed?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"It used a qualitative case study with interviews of four parents, analyzed through the in vivo coding data analysis method.",{"name":70,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":71},"Which theoretical frameworks informed the analysis?",{"text":72,"@type":64},"Bourdieu’s (1984) cultural capital framework, combined with economic status, funds of knowledge, and crisis management.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":32,"og:type":75,"og:title":10,"og:site_name":45,"og:description":12},"article",{"robots":77,"canonical":32},"index,follow",{"doc_id":79,"site_id":7},600138,1792170821,{"code":4,"msg":82,"data":83},"success",{"doc_id":79,"user_id":84,"nickname":42,"user_avatar":85,"doc_module":4,"category_id":86,"category_name":29,"doc_title":10,"doc_description":12,"doc_content":87,"file_id":88,"file_url":89,"file_type":90,"file_size":91,"view_count":55,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":22,"is_downloadable":22,"audit_status":22,"page_count":92,"language":93,"language_code":8,"site_id":7,"html_lang":8,"table_of_contents":94,"faqs":95,"seo_title":96,"seo_description":12,"update_tm":97,"read_time":98},962090893153,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_9964176cb1d06d4a9deccf72a44ae3dc",8,"Current Issues in Middle Level Education  \n\n| Volume 26  Issue 2 | Article 2 |\n| --- | --- |\n| April 2022\u003Cbr>Home Literacy Initiatives ofMiddle School Families During the 2020 Quarantine Period: Transformation in Education?\u003Cbr>Elizabeth S.

Stewart  \nJeasik Cho  \nMellinee Lesley  \nJulie Smit  \nTexas Tech University  \nAbstract  \nThe coronavirus pandemic changed everything almost overnight for students and their families.  \nThe purpose of this qualitative case study, thus, was to investigate the views of families about the  \nstudent change in education for their middle school children, particularly literacy practices,  \nduring the pandemic. Drawing on Bourdieu’s (1984) theoretical framework of cultural capital,  \ncoupled with economic status, funds of knowledge, and crisis management, we conducted  \ninterviews with four parents. Using the in vivo coding data analysis method, we identified some  \nkey preliminary findings: all-day happy hour, the strange disconnection between teachers and  \nparents, and soft and hard approaches to school-home literacy. Participants revealed very  \ndistinctive dispositions to make this “school-home” education work on their own. These parental  \ndispositions and new meaning-making from their children’s education developed into what we  \nreferred to as parentagogy, as they determined for themselves the skills they would need to use  \nto help their children succeed in their new roles as parent and educators. This study confirms the  \nimportance of parental value in education.  \nKeywords: home literacy, parents, quarantine  \nThe COVID-19s pandemic struck the United States in the spring of 2020, forcing public  \nand private education settings to switch to remote online instruction. This sudden shift caused  \ntransitional difficulties for students, their families, and educators. Many school systems with  \nboth limited resources and preparation for this technological change were stretched to the brink  \nof capacity. Strauss (2020) opined,“...schools are having a hard enough time delivering  \neducation that has yet to be reconceived with the pandemic raging in many parts of the country.”  \nFamilies of school-aged children and adolescents were similarly burdened, as the pandemic  \nresulted in lost jobs for parents and closed schools for children (Einhorn, 2020) .
