This research attempts to determine whether homework has an influence on academic achievement. Several variables which may influence academic achievement were analyzed. These variables included (a) time spent on homework, (b) parental support, (c) student attitude and (d) homework completion. The students studied were from a rural Illinois school in grades 9 through 12 with learning disabilities. Each student took a survey questioning the amount of time spent on homework, parental or guardian support, attitude, and homework completion. The answers were then compared to students' grade point averages. The results indicate a moderate correlation between GPA and parental help with homework, r = 0.36 and GPA and homework completion rates, r = -0.49. Using a significance level of 0.10, there is a statistical significance between GPA and homework completion rate. The results suggest further research is needed on using Response to Intervention (RTI) within schools to help increase the benefits of homework, especially on increasing homework completion rates.

Homework is not new. Since the mid-nineteenth century it has been used to supplement the school curriculum, moving in and out of fashion according to the political climate. Pupils do not enjoy doing homework, but they believe that it is important in helping them do well at school. What is the evidence for the effectiveness of homework? Susan Hallam’s extensive review of the literature on homework starts with a brief overview of the history, nature and purpose of homework and then reviews research on its effect on pupils’ attainment. She then describes the findings of studies that compare homework with no homework or with supervised homework, and international and UK studies looking at the relationships between time spent on homework and attainment. Further chapters explore different types of homework and their effects and teachers’, pupils’ and parents’ perspectives on homework. The final chapter considers the future of homework, including interventions to support pupils, and proposes a model providing a framework for thinking about homework. On balance it seems likely that children will still be asked to undertake homework, but schools must take the lead in redefining the homework agenda and putting student learning at its centre.

The main purpose of this Research Topic is to analyze and identify the main family and contextual variables that are involved in the process of carrying out homework. This will require studying the role played by teachers, students, and families in order to ensure that schoolwork is a useful learning tool. Although the role of the student is, obviously, crucial in homework, research has focused on the cumulative time spent by the student carrying out homework. However, the time spent on homework is not in itself evidence of the student’s involvement nor is time spent indicative of quality time. Indeed, an excess of time can sometimes denote low competence in a field of knowledge, while spending less time on homework could be indicative of high competence. It is more likely that a high dedication of time spent on homework reflects high motivation, or comprehension deficits, rather than commitment to learning or academic motivation. In tandem with the role of the student, teachers, as responsible for prescribing homework assignments for students, also become central players in the process of completing homework assignments. The decisions that teachers make about homework prescriptions, and the amount and type of tasks they set, will determine, to a large extent, the quality of the homework process including the student’s motivation and the student’s level of engagement with homework. Furthermore, the fact that homework is useful, interesting and motivating for students, will depend on how the teacher prescribes those tasks and the connection established with classroom learning. Teacher feedback also acquires particular relevance for this point by helping the students to accurately estimate the quality of their progress and overcome the difficulties they may have encountered in carrying out their homework. Lastly, the effectiveness of teacher feedback depends on its contribution to the student’s educational progress and how that student will perform in the future. In addition to the student who performs the task and the teacher who prescribes and corrects it, we must not lose sight of parents’ role. Although there are discrepancies regarding the role that parents play in relation to homework, it is evident that their implication has important consequences not only on the final result of those tasks but also on the very process of carrying them out. Everything seems to indicate that the family environment and, more specifically, the support and feedback provided by parents is a factor that can determine the involvement of students in school duties. In this way, providing emotional support encouraging children to get involved can contribute positively to improving their motivation and interest in the performance of homework. The objective of this Research Topic is to provide researchers and professionals in psychology and education settings with some of the most recent empirical evidence regarding the homework process, its prescription and correction. Overall, we aim to cease making homework a source of conflict and controversy at the socio-educational level in order to provide useful instruments for improving the quality of student learning.

While there are some books and articles about the importance of understanding in-school learning style and the benefits in achievement and attitude toward learning that accrue from matching learning style to learning environment, this is the first book on homework style. Homework style is the personal preference for doing the tasks assigned by teachers and learning new material outside of the formal school setting. Learning style and homework style have been found to be related yet empirically distinguishable, indicating the unique situation the home variable plays in forming individual learning styles. This guide will help parents, teachers, and counselors understand homework style and gain an awareness of the relationship between homework style, homework achievement, and school achievement.

Homework is an important part of most classes at the secondary school level. While homework benefits most students academically, its impact on students with learning disabilities (LD) is unknown. The purpose of this descriptive case study was to examine to academic and emotional impact of homework on students with LD at one secondary school in Connecticut. Mixed methods were utilized, and included surveys of 49 students and their parents/guardians, focus groups with 12 students, and interviews with 12 parents and 18 educators. Surveys revealed homework was a source of stress for all students, as well as a common cause of family discord. Surveys showed males were more negatively impacted by homework than females; males were three times more likely to become distracted and had weaker study skills. Qualitative data suggested males from low SES backgrounds were more likely than other subgroups to argue with parents about homework, be punished for not completing work, and be tracked into low-level courses due to the need for homework support. Both qualitative and quantitative data suggested parental involvement in homework was not beneficial, as it tended to contribute to increased anxiety among high achieving students and family discord among low achieving students. Interviews suggested teachers did not regularly modify assignments to accommodate for individual needs or SES. While involvement in extracurricular activities was found to contribute to time management difficulties, involvement also contributed to positive school attitudes. This study found that homework had a positive academic impact on students with LD under certain conditions; it must be modified appropriately, be relevant, and directly reinforce classroom learning. Homework can also have a negative impact on students' emotional wellbeing and disrupt family relationships. These findings have implications for school personnel, parents, policymakers, and politicians. School personnel should attempt to maximize the academic benefits of homework while minimizing its harmful emotional impact. Policymakers should seek to create a set of homework guidelines based on research to assist schools in implementing responsible homework policies, and politicians should consider funding homework support programs for schools in low SES areas.

Death and taxes come later; what seems inevitable for children is the idea that, after spending the day at school, they must then complete more academic assignments at home. The predictable results: stress and conflict, frustration and exhaustion. Parents respond by reassuring themselves that at least the benefits outweigh the costs. But what if they don't? In The Homework Myth, nationally known educator and parenting expert Alfie Kohn systematically examines the usual defenses of homework--that it promotes higher achievement, "reinforces" learning, and teaches study skills and responsibility. None of these assumptions, he shows, actually passes the test of research, logic, or experience. So why do we continue to administer this modern cod liver oil -- or even demand a larger dose? Kohn's incisive analysis reveals how a mistrust of children, a set of misconceptions about learning, and a misguided focus on competitiveness have all left our kids with less free time and our families with more conflict. Pointing to parents who have fought back -- and schools that have proved educational excellence is possible without homework -- Kohn shows how we can rethink what happens during and after school in order to rescue our families and our children's love of learning.
