For many educators and their students, homework is part of standard school practice. Homework as an exercise is not nearly as important as its intended purpose. The common intent for assigning homework is for students to practice recently obtained skills and knowledge as well as expanding individual understanding. Unfortunately, changes in…

This study measures students' unintentional procrastination, as captured by 'the number of days delayed,' or 'delay.' 'Delay' is the difference between the day that a student indicated that he or she would work on a homework assignment, and the day that he or she actually worked on that assignment as recorded by Blackboard. Regression results…

This study provides empirical evidence related to two critical assumptions in the student engagement literature in higher education--namely, the malleability of study effort and the causality of the relationship between study effort and student outcomes. We merged student-level administrative data on dormitory assignments, study effort in a hybrid…

While proof is often presented to mathematics undergraduates as a well-defined mathematical object, the proofs students encounter in different pedagogical contexts may bear salient differences. In this paper we draw on the work of Dawkins and Weber (2017) to explore variations in norms and values underlying a proof across different pedagogical…

The purpose of this study was to examine in detail the relationship between perceived parental involvement in homework (content-oriented and autonomy-oriented forms of involvement) and students' homework behavior (homework time, homework time management, and amount of homework completed). The study also looked at how the relationships between…

Using an international education database, PISA 2012, this study compares 15-year-old students' mathematics anxiety and its relationships with educational issues among five Asia Pacific economies (Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Shanghai, & Singapore), using descriptive, figural, partial correlative, multiple regressive, and factor analysis…

The paper's primary goal was to analyze and find interactive piano learning systems using the Suzuki method. The sample of respondents engaged in the investigation was made up of 200 students from the [Zhejiang Conservatory of Music]. The estimated Cohen's kappa coefficient determined the level playing field of control and experimental groups at…

At the end of a two-year discussion about the value of homework in elementary school, the Seaview district decided to move away from the traditional model of homework, and introduced Wonder, Reading, and Play (WRaP) intended to be more equitable and authentic. A case study was conducted to assess the district's goals for and implementation of more…

This investigation examined the role of students' social-emotional need satisfaction in relation to academic engagement and social-emotional skills. Among a sample of 501 secondary school students (and their parents/carers), several need satisfaction variables were examined: perceived social-emotional autonomy, perceived social competence,…

The objective of this research study is to explore the teachers and parents' perspectives on implementing homework in primary education. The research depends on the system activity theory playing a crucial role in education. This study used qualitative methodology and data from 20 teachers and 20 parents. Data collected with semi-structured…

The Adolescent and Adult Time Inventory--Time Attitude Scales (AATI-TA) were used to examine the association between time attitudes and self-reported academic and social-emotional outcomes in 967 academically talented adolescents (M age = 14.27, SD = 1.42) attending a summer educational program. The AATI-TA consists of six subscales assessing…

Comprehensive school physical activity programs (CSPAPs) aim to increase students' physical activity opportunities across the entire school day. Targeted areas include physical education, classes throughout the curriculum, before and after school settings, and time spent both with families and in the community. Home fun (formally known as…

The present study used a multilevel approach to investigate the influence of four clusters of variables (i.e., demographic, homework, teacher, and parent) on three types of math homework purposes (i.e., academic, self-regulatory, or approval-seeking) perceived by 3,018 8th graders in China. Results revealed that each of the three math homework…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the views of instructors teaching Turkish language literacy to foreigners about the homework. For data collection, 175 instructors teaching at the Turkish Teaching Centers in Turkey in the 2021-2022 academic year participated. For the study group, the scale system in the "Google forms" software…

Student success and attempts on hundreds of online homework problems housed in a fully interactive online textbook, Material and Energy Balances zyBook, were studied over three cohorts of students (n=284). Auto-graded homework questions with randomized numbers and content can explore proficiency in the course material. Students are allowed to…
