2. • Feasibility studies: Previous studies examined the practicality and viability of implementing Home-as-a-Learning-SPACE initiatives, considering factors such as accessibility, affordability, and parental engagement.

   • Case studies: Researchers conducted in-depth investigations of specific households or families to understand their experiences, challenges, and successes in establishing a home learning environment.

   • User interviews: Insights and feedback were gathered from parents, caregivers, and children about their past perceptions, needs, and preferences related to Home-as-a-Learning-SPACE.

   • Implementation studies: Previous studies assessed the implementation process of Home-as-a-Learning-SPACE initiatives, identifying key factors that contributed to successful adoption and implementation.

3. Summative Research:

   • Correlational studies: Previous studies examined the relationship between the quality of Home-as-a-Learning-SPACE and academic outcomes, social-emotional development, or other relevant variables.

   • Quasi-experimental studies: Researchers evaluated the impact of specific interventions or programs related to Home-as-a-Learning-SPACE on learning outcomes, comparing groups with and without the intervention.

   • Randomized control studies: Controlled experiments were conducted to measure the causal impact of Home-as-a-Learning-SPACE interventions on educational outcomes, with participants randomly assigned to intervention and control groups.

These past research studies collectively contributed to advancing the understanding of Home-as-a-Learning-SPACE and its effectiveness in supporting children's learning and development in the home environment.
