其他摘要：Parents’ motives for home education are one of the most researched topics within homeeducation research. The focus of this article is on the question of the degree to which the resultsregarding these motives are influenced and shaped by the applied methods and thesocial context. The empirical basis is a meta-analysis of twelve research examples from thelast two decades. It is concluded that the diversity within the results can partly be tracedback to fundamental differences in the methodological design, to the absence of detailedtheoretical modelling and remarkable differences of the survey instruments and that therole of the social environment and the process of the construction of motives in a certain socialcontext deserve more attention.
