I need an experimental research article on benefits of increasing homework amount?

The Homework Delusion \nFrom the Education Gadfly: What do American students need? More homework! \nby David Skinner

I like B1rchy's answer.\nIt also points out that organisional skills are required from the teacher too, and in particular, that there is a specific plan for what needs to be achieved (the old Aims & Objectives thing - or is it Learning Outcomes now?)\nIntegrating homework into the overall plan is very important; it should not be a rushed add-on. Setting the homework first has so many advantages. Judging by some of the Questions posted here, there are a lot of poorly prepared, puzzled and anxious pupils. I favour starting homework in the last 10 minutes or so of a lesson so that pupils have an opportunity to discover problems before they get home.\nPupils will very quickly adapt, enjoy and relax into a well-planned regime and excuses for indiscipline will decline.\nA transformation will not happen 'overnight' but will occur sooner if you can include a meaningful reward system.

"Why do teachers give a load of homework and projects?"\n\nTeachers give you a load of homework and projects to educate you in that field of study. You'll be suprised at what you could possibly learn or become, and realize that you are fortunate to even recieve an education. So quit your complaining and count your blessings.\n\nAlso, I reccomend you focus a little more on that english homework of yours, okay?

Believe me.  you just have to force yourself to do it.  It may not be fun(heck, hw is rarely fun) or easy to do the first few times but after a while just doing your homework becomes easier to manage.  It also helps later when you get more homework and end up working from 3pm until midnight.  \n\nWrite a schedule for yourself, allotting a certain amount of time for each subject and leaving space in between homework to take a break.

Here's a thought... WRITE YOUR OWN PAPER... It's part of the learning process... Maybe instead of wasting time to find papers, write one... You'd get more out of it...

This is homework, yes? Please do this yourself. The idea is for you to reaearch yourself, write it yourself and actually learn something from the activity.\nIf we do it for you, we are taking that experience away from you.\n\nEdit: Wish you had said that in the beginning.

Homework is an essential tool to re-inforce what you are learning in class.  Some teachers overdo it, as if they are the only teacher you have, but that doesn't negate the need for homework.\n\nHomework also gives you an opportunity to learn and hone study skills which you will need in H.S. and college.\n\nHomework also helps to instill a good work ethic which will serve you well your entire life...provided you take advantage of it.

No. Most public schools expect way too much homework from students. I think 6 hours/day is more than enough time for formal learning. Kids shouldn't have to go home and put in another 2+ hours! The best learning happens while playing, socializing, and doing the things you love to do. Not by doing mindless busy-work. This is one of the many reasons I choose to homeschool my daughter.

Don't pay.  There are several 24/7 tutoring sites that are linked to City libraries' websites.  I've included some URLs below.  Good luck!  Also, if you are stuck on something, I'd love to help you out with homework anytime.

I think you might want to research on the effects of internet on children's study habits.  Does it improve their study habits or does it overload them with information?  You may either focus your survey on an age range, say for high school students, or on a certain territory, or on a specific subject matter, say science. I'm not sure what methods of research you would be capable of doing by now but this may have either a quantitative approach or you can use expert interviews (delphi method).  Good luck!

As a teacher, I can tell you that it really depends on what your teacher is like.  I like to give at least a little bit of homework each night, because it helps students to remember what they learned in school by making them think about it again at home.\n\nI would think a half-hour to an hour should be a good amount to expect.  Even if your teacher does not actually assign this amount of homework, you should still do your own review, to help you remember the material.

Teachers give homework in school because it reinforces concepts learned in class.  Practice makes perfect!
