Walberg and Colleagues Reply: Effective Schools Use Homework Effectively.

Walberg, Herbert J.; And Others

Educational Leadership, v43 n8 p58 May 1986

Responds to Bill Barber's recent article refuting the author's conclusions concerning the beneficial effects of homework on student achievement. Asserts that the amount, frequency, nature, conditions, and other characteristics of homework must be studied, not just homework versus none at all. Homework is one of many factors contributing to effective schooling. (6 references) (MLH)
