Homework has long been a topic of debate among educators, parents, and students.

Some argue that


it is a necessary part of the learning process, while others believe it causes unnecessary stress and
takes away from valuable free time. However, a recent study conducted by Duke University has shed
light on the positive effects of homework on student achievement.

The study, led by professor Harris Cooper, analyzed over 120 studies on homework and its impact on
student achievement. The findings were clear: homework has a positive effect on student learning
and academic success.

The Importance of Practice


One of the key findings of the Duke study was that homework allows students to practice and
reinforce what they have learned in class. This repetition is crucial for solidifying new concepts and
skills. Without practice, students may struggle to retain information and may not fully understand the
material. Homework provides an opportunity for students to apply what they have learned in a real-
world context.

Preparation for Tests and Exams


Another benefit of homework is that it prepares students for tests and exams. By completing
homework assignments, students are able to identify areas where they may need more practice or
clarification. This allows them to address any gaps in their understanding before a test or exam. The
Duke study found that homework has a significant positive effect on test scores.

Time Management and Responsibility


Homework also teaches students important skills such as time management and responsibility. By
having to complete assignments on a set deadline, students learn to prioritize their workload and
manage their time effectively. This is a crucial skill that will benefit them not only in their academic
career but also in their future professional lives.

In each experiment, Ss performed an activity during 3 different periods, and observations relevant to
their motivation were made. The team asked students, teachers, principals, and superintendents at
these schools a wide range of questions. Despite the Coleman findings, the claim that money matters

of school expenditure on student achievement. Intuitively, the link between teaching and student
academic achievement may seem obvious, but what is the evidence for it. This means that they
recognized fewer words than 99 percent of the other preschoolers. In conclusion, public colleges are
much cheaper than for-profit colleges. Our teachers find their tasks made heavier in that they have
come to deal with pupils individually and not merely in mass. Coleman assumed that family
influences come first, and that school factors are to be introduced into the analysis only after all
effects that can be attributed to the family are identified. More Info Interpersonal expectancy
