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…

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.

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.

Early childhood preservice teachers often graduate with an incomplete understanding of the interplay between play and learning (Zhulamanova 2019; Zhulamanova and Raisor 2020). This mixed-methods pilot study aims to enhance early childhood teacher education by providing teacher candidates with playful, imaginative experiences through storytelling.…

The article explores the application of Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences to homework and the potential of this approach to enhance the educational experience. Through a pilot application in philological subjects in Greek secondary education, the article presents the Homework Toolkit for Cultivating Multiple Intelligences, which…

This article reports on an intervention study conducted to improve young Thai learners' motivation and attitudes towards take-home tests.

The objective of this study is to investigate the influence of gender and school level (middle and high school) on a range of homework-related behaviors and attitudes among students. The study's participants were 920 students from various middle and high school levels in Turkey. The study examined a number of variables, including homework…

This study aimed to test three homework models defined in different cultures on Turkish high school students. HLM analyses were conducted on data collected from 1,229 high school students, considering 19 student-level and 7 grade-level variables. The dependent variables of the study were academic achievement and homework completion. The findings…

Completing homework is a highly common task shared by nearly all primary- and secondary-level learners throughout their compulsory education globally. This mixed-methods study examined whether the estimated amount of homework completed (HW) in primary and secondary education is related to learners' academic achievement (AA), and what learners'…

Purpose: This study examines undergraduates' perceptions of the effectiveness of two metacognitive monitoring strategies, active comprehension monitoring (ACM) and audible elaborative rehearsal (AER), for gaining specialized vocabulary and concept (SVC) knowledge in communication sciences and disorders. Method: The participants were 64…

This study was conducted to compare students' beliefs about the seriousness of cheating behaviors in the physical and online environment and to analyze how these beliefs relate to self-reported cheating behaviors. Given the recent advances of artificial intelligence (AI) and its growing presence in the college classroom, specific emphasis is…
