Scholars paid attention to the relationship between homework frequency and academic performance, however, fewer of them noticed that the relationship might be nonlinear and may vary across different types of homework. This study aims at exploring the nonlinear relationship between the different types of homework frequency and mathematical academic…

In the traditional teaching mode, it is difficult for teachers to have a comprehensive understanding of each student's study, and it is also hard for them to provide targeted guidance and assistance. With the development of data collection and analysis technology, schools and educational institutions can make better use of big data technology to…

Using field-experimental data (study-time tracking and randomized incentives), we identify a structural model of learning. Student effort is influenced by external costs/benefits and unobserved heterogeneity: motivation (willingness to study) and productivity (conversion rate of time into skill). We estimate academic labor-supply elasticities and…

Reflective and formative assessments are commonly used in both K-12 and higher education but are less common in university mathematics courses. In fact, much of mathematics education seems to be heavily reliant on summative assessments. In this article, we introduce a formative assessment in the frame of a reflective homework system that can be…

Successful homework completion necessitates engagement in self-regulated learning activities. The key challenge lies in fostering self-confidence among students to enable them to complete homework independently. Applying the importance-performance theory, the study uses a unique statistical tool to assess homework completion for practical…

In the UK, primary homework is increasingly experienced as an integral part of parental responsibility and practices. However, its framing as a teacher-directed activity results in limited understanding of the social and relational dimensions of homework as it happens inside families. Conceptualising homework as a parent-child interaction, and…

Despite the recognition that reflection is an essential part of problem solving, it is often not emphasized in upper-division physics courses. In this paper, we discuss homework corrections (HWCs) as a pedagogical tool to motivate reflection on homework assignments. We focus on gaining a qualitative understanding of how students may engage with…

Purpose: Children's enjoyment of school (ES) and academic performance (AP) are two important factors of educational success. This study investigated the mechanism of the effect of school-home communication (SHC) on ES and AP, testing the mediating roles of caregiver participation in school activities (CPSA), interactive learning (IL), and cultural…

This paper presents research findings on primary school students' awareness of the ethical aspects of using artificial intelligence (AI) tools for homework. The study used a self-constructed online questionnaire administered to 301 primary school students from grades five to eight attending two primary schools in Northwestern Croatia. The results…

This study aimed to examine the reciprocal relationship between motivation and engagement in out-of-class learning among Japanese undergraduates by using a cross-lagged panel model. Two online surveys were conducted with 293 university students in Japan. This study measured motivation and engagement with regard to out-of-class tasks (homework) for…

This study examines the relationship between aspects of homework quality (embedding homework in the teaching-learning process and differentiation), students' anger experienced while completing German homework (language of instruction), and orthography performance. In total, 410 students from 23 eighth-grade classes in the Swiss canton of Bern have…

All students want to talk about ideas that interest them, but often, multilingual learners are not offered high-challenge, high-support opportunities to connect everyday experiences to mathematical ideas. We describe a single class period that connects students' everyday opinions with two-way tables and notions of independence.

This study aims to explore longitudinal associations among homework expectancy, mastery-approach, homework effort, and mathematics achievement involving middle school students over one school year. Results indicated that there was support for a positive reciprocal influence of mastery-approach and effort; greater initial mastery-approach resulted…

Objective: Around 70% of adolescents with ADHD experience sleep and/or homework problems. Both impairments have been previously associated with neuropsychological deficits but have not been simultaneously examined in adolescents with ADHD and clinical sleep problems. Therefore, this study investigated how sleep problems are associated with…

This study classified profiles of homework approaches involving eighth graders in China, regarding the likely combinations of surface and deep approaches to homework. Latent profile analysis (LPA) identified five distinct homework approach profiles: "High Deep/Low Surface", "Low Deep/Low Surface", "Moderate Deep/Moderate…
