Background: Mathematics homework is highly prevalent in East Asia. Teachers and parents expect mathematics homework to improve students' performance; however, studies have not clearly defined the effectiveness of the assignment of different amounts of homework. Aims: This study analyses the differential effect of homework amount on various facets…

The present study investigated multilevel models posited to predict student approaches to homework. Participants were 1,072 middle school students in China. Results revealed that deep and surface approaches were positively associated with performance-approach. Furthermore, deep approach to homework was associated negatively with homework cost, yet…

The purpose of this study was to adapt the Expectancy Value Scale, Students' Motivation for Homework Scale, Homework Interest Scale, Homework Affective Attitude Scale, Math Homework Purposes Scale into Turkish and to develop the Homework Self Efficacy Scale. 1555 middle school students of 5th and 8th grades participated in the study. The students…

This study aimed to examine multilevel models posited to predict student perceptions of teacher feedback quality. A cross-sectional survey design was used, involving 1072 middle school students. We incorporated two clusters of variables: (a) student characteristics (gender, prior knowledge, parent education, homework expectancy, homework value,…

When thinking about measurement uncertainty in a laboratory experiment that features quantum mechanical effects, it is important to consider both the physical principles of underlying quantum theory (e.g., the uncertainty due to quantum mechanical superposition states) as well as the limitations of the measurement (e.g., the spread in outcomes due…

Successful middle schools exhibit effective practices that engage families as valued partners. However, as at-home learning increasingly shifts to digital spaces, parents may have concerns with technology and how their role shifts in digital learning environments. This includes concerns about the balancing act for parents wishing to encourage…

This study investigated whether various aspects of the home learning environment -- that is, learning-related processes, parental perceptions of their child, and structural characteristics -- predicted private tutoring attendance in Grade 8. We used the data of 7393 students from the German National Educational Panel Study. Seventeen percent of…

The flipped classroom model, which is a technology-supported model that employs active learning strategies, has been studied many times. However, the effect of the model on psychological variables has not been adequately questioned. In this context, this study aims to investigate the effects of flipped classroom model on the students' assignment…

Allowing students to make choices (e.g., on the reading materials to read for an assignment) can contribute to creating learning environments that promote critical thinking, and intrinsic motivation among students. Given this potential that choice has to enhance instruction, it is reasonable to examine its potential as a contributor to enhanced…

This article describes the design and implementation of an independent at-home chemistry project for a high school student. The pedagogical process described herein provided an authentic and meaningful laboratory experience at home, enabling remote learning that was inexpensive and safe. The topic of study was osmosis, and experiments were…

This study aims to investigate homework involvement of the higher secondary students. The main objectives are to find out the level and significant differences based on gender, age, group of study, medium of instruction of higher secondary students. The hypothesis was that there may be significant of difference in homework involvement of the…

Physics homework often boils down to solving end-of-chapter quantitative problems. For targeting different learning goals of physics education, different types of homework are needed. The aim of this research was to compare the effectiveness of simulation-based, video-based, and paper-and-pencil homework in developing an understanding about…

Hiring private tutors is causing a financial burden on parents, as they are made to pay high tutoring fees in Nigeria. Yet, Nigerian parents continue to invest heavily in financially burdensome private tutoring amid high poverty levels. This evident paradox between high poverty levels and the widespread use of financially burdensome private…

Student success in college courses is important to students and faculty, though what variables predict student success are myriad and can be difficult to collect by faculty. Given the complex interaction of these variables, many of which are external to the classroom, a faculty member could be excused for thinking that the work of the faculty may…

As online and hybrid classes have become increasingly more prevalent in higher education, the flipped classroom structure has emerged as a viable, evidence-based, option for healthcare programs. In a f lipped classroom, students view pre-recorded video lectures and complete reading assignments before class, and synchronous class time can then be…
