Experimental and Correlational Research
“While there is support for the achievement benefits of homework at the senior high school level, and to a considerably lesser extent a the middle school level, there is almost no support for benefits at the primary school level.”
M Horsely and R Walker (2013), Reforming Homework: practices learning and policy, Palgrave Macmillan p24

There is clear evidence that:• self-regulated learning skills can be taught• Approriate and explicit classroom teaching can develop
self-regulated learning skills in primary school children• Limited support for view that homework develops self-
regulatory skills and sense or responsibility – Warton (1997)

Conclusions from review of studies into self-regulation and homework • Quality of homework is associated with quantity of
homework completed• Older students more capable of self-regulation but may
engage less with homework ahs motivation decreases.• Older students may consider costs of doing homework
outweigh the benefits.

Today we will look at:• How parents help or hinder the success of a homework
program• Evidence for effective models of homework• Implications for our homework programs – developing
quality homework tasks.

PARENTS , HOMEWORK AND ACHIEVEMENT
![Page 10: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Parents, Homework and Achievement
• While research findings suggest that parental involvement at school has beneficial effects on student achievement, Pomerantz et al. (2007) report that the results for parental involvement at home are less consistent.

Parents, Homework and Achievement
• It is not the extent of parental involvement that is important for achievement outcomes but how parents are involved.
![Page 12: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Parental involvement is more beneficial when…
• Parents’ interactions with their children promote autonomy rather than when parents’ actions are controlling.
• Parents focus on understanding not achievement outcomes
• Parents focus on learning process not ability or intelligence.
• Parents convey positive emotions in relation to academic activities
• Parents have positive beliefs about their children’s potential

PARENTS, HOMEWORK AND MOTIVATION
![Page 14: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Parental involvement is associated with…
• Positive student motivation• Self-regulated learning• Beliefs about personal responsibility in relation to
academic outcomes
![Page 15: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Parenting styles• authoritative• authoritarian• Laissez-faire
![Page 16: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Authoritative parents• Warm emotional relationships• Firm authroity and control• Allow children a considerable degree of autonomy
![Page 17: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Authoritarian parents• Emotionally distant• Exercise a high degree of control• Children allowed little or no autonomy
![Page 18: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Laissez-faire parents• Warm relationships• Little or no authority or control• Few limits on children’s autonomy
![Page 19: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Parenting styles and effects on learning
• Research into parenting styles supported the view that authoritative was beneficial for student learning and motivation.
• High use of controlling behaviours by parents and surveillance were associated with extrinsic motivational orientations
• Children subjected to controlling behaviours more likely to react positively to directive patterns and negatively to autonomy-supportive patterns.
![Page 20: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Intrinsic Motivation • Students’ perception of their parents’ values concerning
achievement had the strongest association with motivation and competence.
• Students showed less initiative, autonomy, motivation, persistence and satisfaction when exposed to controlling behaviours.
• Parental encouragement and praise associated with higher intrinsic motivation
• Parental rewards for homework completion/achievement led to higher levels of extrinsic motivation

Think about• What are the implications of this research for our school
policy and homework practices?• What are some practical steps we might need to take?

WHAT MAKES GOOD HOMEWORK?
![Page 24: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Some key homework principles• Homework tasks should be considered from the learner’s
perspective• Consolidation, practice and repetition tasks should be in
the learner’s zone of actual development• Challenging tasks in the zone of proximal development
promote conceptual growth• Homework tasks should be guided by the provision of
scaffolding in the learner’s zone of proximal development
![Page 25: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Some key homework principles• Homework practices should promote self-regulated
learning skills• Homework practices should use family and community
resources• Homework practices should promote equity
![Page 26: Homework research Part 2](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022042606/548093d2b37959892b8b5c44/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Key issues for Teachers• What should be the balance between drill and practice and
cognitive growth tasks in the homework program.• What are the key issues in creating a homework program with
a balance between drill and practice and cognitive growth tasks?
• How can teachers assign homework tasks that are interesting, involve some degree of student choice and autonomy and take individual differences into account?
• How can teachers assign homework tasks that are challenging and promote student responsibility and self-regulation?
• How can teachers ensure that students are provided with the different types of assistance they need to complete homework tasks?
