'Homework does not bring any benefit to elementary students'

"There is no evidence that homework helps improve primary school students' learning outcomes." This is what Harris Cooper (Duke University) - a highly respected specialist in the field of research, says about the impact of homework on education quality.

This has begun to attract the interest of parents and other educators, regardless of what aspect people are debating here. Is it true that sacrificing play time, health, physical and tears pressures of both parents and students are useless? Homework is "an accepted practice" so it will be difficult if you want to accurately measure the true value it brings.

However, when looking at reality, what we can almost recognize is: Homework has many benefits but they depend on age!

Homework puts pressure on both parents and students

For elementary students, a study suggests that spending time in class offers much better results, while homework is merely an additional exercise. . Even at the secondary level, the relationship between homework and an excellent learning result in the best environment is also very small. The time when children reach high school, homework brings many practical benefits but also relatively. Less than 2 hours of lessons every night is the limit. After this time, the quality of sitting on the table will gradually decrease."This study is very clear," agrees Etta Kralovec, an education expert at the University of Arizona. "There is no benefit of homework for elementary students ."

Before continuing, remove the notion that the results of this study are derived from observing students with poor academic performance. In fact, it's the exact opposite. Cooper's expert synthesized 120 students in 1989 and 60 other students in 2006. Comprehensive analysis of all these students shows that there is no evidence that homework is beneficial to students. primary school. However, a negative impact on children's attitudes towards school attendance is clear.

Homework has a negative impact on children's learning attitude

This gradually became worrying. Homework really affected elementary school students but not a positive effect. A beginner child deserves the opportunity to develop true love with learning. Instead, assigning homework to students at this age can make children no longer love going to school, no longer eager to do homework when going to higher levels and affecting learning in the future. more. That is a long way. A preschool child faces more than 10 years of having to do his homework in front is very hard to imagine

Besides, homework also causes personal relationships to be affected. Thousands of families around the world still face homework with their children every night. The parents shouted, trying to ignore this fact, while the children were extremely resistant and cried. Instead of connecting and supporting each other at the end of the day, too many families are feeling caught up in the spin of a question, "Have you done your homework?"

Children need parent support when doing homework

It is very difficult for children to have to do homework too early on their own. Therefore, they need the help of their parents, both in remembering what to do and how to complete the task. Gradually, it is likely that children will form a habit of relying on adults and only when there are parents around will they do the homework. This is why one of the important goals of homework is lost, which is the responsibility.
