INTRODUCTION

Research has proven that every 30 minutes of

additional home work a student does per night, his or

her overall grade point average (GPA) increases

about half a point. This means that if a student with a

GPA of 2.00 Increases the amount of homework she

does by 30 minutes per night, her GPA will rise to

2.50 (Keith T.Z. (1982) Students, for one reason or

another, are not always happy with homework. But

when done properly, homework leads to mastery of

learning..

FUNCTION HOMEWORK

The homework is the last but not

the least part of a lesson plan. What

are the functions of homework ?

Vatterott, author of ASCD member book

“Rethinking Homework” (2009) cites

four, as follows:

Page 5: Demonstrations  homework

1.PRELEARNING

Page 6: Demonstrations  homework

– The homework is a preparation for an in-

depth discussion of the next lesson by getting

an introduction or a background. It is also a

way of finding out what students already

knows about a topic or what they are

interested to learn more about the topic by

asking the students to write down questions

about what they were assigned to read.

2.CHECKING FOR

UNDERSTANDING

Page 8: Demonstrations  homework

By way of homework,

teachers gain insight into student

learning. Asking students to

identify literary devices in a short

story shows whether students

understood the lesson on literary

devices.

3.PRACTICE

Page 10: Demonstrations  homework

Homework is an opportunity

for practice of rote skills such as

multiplication tables, spelling

words, or facts that need to be

memorized for internalization

and mastery. For homework to

yield positive results, practice

must be correct and must be

distributed.

4. PROCESSING

Page 12: Demonstrations  homework

Homework is used when

teachers want students to

reflect on concepts

discussed in class,

integrate and apply

learned concepts and

skills in real life, and think

of new questions.

Guiding Principles in the use of

Homework

For the learners to get the most

from homework, the following

guiding principles may be of help:

1. The purpose of homework and

outcome of homework should be

identified and articulated.

Page 14: Demonstrations  homework

2. Homework tasks should be

differentiated by:

a.) difficulty or amount of work

b.) by the amount of scaffolding

provided and

c.) learners’ learning style or interest.

3. Parent involvement in homework

should be kept to a minimum. The role

of parents in doing homework should

only be facilitative.

Page 15: Demonstrations  homework

4. If homework is assigned, it should be

commented on. Of what use is homework if it is

not read, evaluated and returned?

5. Move from grading to checking. Focus

on feedback (Vatterott, 2009). Should

homework be graded? No! with Guskey”s

(2003) observation: “Grades on homework

often get in the way of

learning ,demotative students, and create

power struggles between students and

teachers and between students and

parents.”

Page 16: Demonstrations  homework

6. Established and communicate a

homework policy.

7. Established a homework support

programs. During PTCA meetings share

tips on how to make homework time

successful such as the following:

Designate a well-lit space for

homework’

Establish time to do the work use the

calendar to plan when the work can

be done if schedules vary.

Page 17: Demonstrations  homework

Ask students specifics about the school

day and what needs to be done each

night.

Tell them the numerous benefits of

homework and provide statement that

parents can use with their child.

Assure parents that you want to hear if

the student needs a lot of coaching

from parents.
