Does homework work

Answer 1

If you do it right, it does! Homework helps you practice what you're learning so you understand it better.

Answer:

There have beeen numerous studies on how to get things into a student's catalogue of skills. However most homework assignments do not seem to follow any of these programs. Spced learning, fo example, requires refreshing of facts on cocepts on a shceduled basis following the initial exposure. Simply having hours of homework does not do this.

There is some concern that most homework expectations do not mesh with the concept that free and rest times are essential for mental and personal advancement. The time reqired for homework, if it is not monitored closely, can impose logistic problems for meeting these other requirements.

Ideally the teachers, parents, and students shold establish a contract for amounts and scheduling of homework. This should be tailored to te individual students with adequate review and modification provided by staff in a position to direct all three parties involved.

Answer 2

Use homework just like your notes: review that instead of trying to read the textbook over again.

• Try to work the problems on your homework as study for the test - copy some of them out onto another paper and mix them up to see if you understand them, then check them against your homework sheet.
• Cover up the answers on your homework definition sheets and check your understanding on the words
• Have a study partner ask you homework questions to see if you know them

Answer 3

No, homework is practicing. Studying is where you get your notes and textbook and focus on remembering what you've learned before.
