There are many parents/care-givers/family providers who are opting out of 'traditional school setting' and occupying technology intended for online learning and/or homeschooling. Social competence is imperative to a learners development, in order to, progress effectively as an individual and as an aggregate in the population at large. Still; many children are limited in this aspect due to the lax social engagement that online learning/homeschooling infuses, and when introduced to a social engagement of one type of another, the children seemingly become timid, withdrawn, or inappropriately snobbish of peers their own age. Therefore; I am trying to find relatively current research on how the social skills of homeschooled/online children are impacted and the affect thereof.
