Understanding Learners’ Home Contexts and Recommendations for Future School Scenarios

This paper proposes a way to bring learner-centeredness and engagement to future emergency remote learning situations in order to prioritize learners who will undertake blended learning with face-to-face classes. As schools understand the home situation of learners better, the more they will be able to make better decisions and find solutions to the prevailing challenges. These may also help minimize the difficulties experienced by learners and their families, avoid loss of learning, and prevent students from dropping out.
