| 520 | |a The relevance of homework in today's schools is explored in this bulletin. Following the introduction, chapter 1 examines the effect of homework on academic achievement and concludes that there is a lack of agreement on the benefits of homework and on the amount of time students should spend on it. Chapter 2 describes homework practices in some Oregon schools. In a survey of eight elementary, middle, and high school teachers in several districts, all expressed the belief that homework assignments help student achievement. Innovations in homework assistance implemented by two districts--Duvall County Public Schools in Jacksonville, Florida, and in Mineola, New York--are described in the third chapter. Chapter 4 offers recommendations for establishing an effective policy and for defining the roles of the school board, administrators, teachers, parents, and students. A conclusion is that although controversy continues about the impact of homework on academic achievement, the belief in its effectiveness will remain a trend in educational thinking. A successful policy requires coordination, community awareness, and commitment. Sample homework policies and guidelines are contained in the appendix. (Contains 23 references.) (LMI) | ||
