Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Death and taxes come later; what seems inevitable for children is the idea that, after spending the day at school, they must then complete more academic assignments at home. The predictable results: stress and conflict, frustration and exhaustion. Parents respond by reassuring themselves that at least the benefits outweigh the costs. But what if they don't? In The Homework Myth, nationally known educator and parenting expert Alfie Kohn systematically examines the usual defenses of homework--that it promotes higher achievement, "reinforces" learning, and teaches study skills and responsibility. None of these assumptions, he shows, actually passes the test of research, logic, or experience. So why do we continue to administer this modern cod liver oil -- or even demand a larger dose? Kohn's incisive analysis reveals how a mistrust of children, a set of misconceptions about learning, and a misguided focus on competitiveness have all left our kids with less free time and our families with more conflict. Pointing to parents who have fought back -- and schools that have proved educational excellence is possible without homework -- Kohn shows how we can rethink what happens during and after school in order to rescue our families and our children's love of learning.

Download or read book Increasing Homework Completion of Middle School Students by Using Parental Involvement Strategies and Establishing Routines written by Rebecca Haas and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this action research project report was to increase the homework completion rate of middle school students through the use of interventions. The participants in this study came from one public middle school. The participants were thirty-four 6th grade students in language arts, respectively. The intervention took place from September 10, 2007 through November 20, 2007. The targeted students at one public middle school in northwestern Illinois exhibited low levels of homework completion. The teacher researchers surveyed teachers, parents, and students, in addition to completing teacher observation checklists for each of the targeted students. The teacher survey asked questions pertaining to students turning in homework, and receiving consequences for not doing so. The parent survey revealed that students do not bring homework assignments home but do ask for assistance when needed. The student survey indicated that parents helped their child with their homework assignments less than half the time (zero to three days a week). Also, students indicated that they fill out their planners most of the time (four to five days a week). The teacher observation checklists showed that incomplete homework assignments were a significant problem for the targeted students. One of the interventions that was chosen to implement was positive reinforcement through the Gotcha system. This intervention has been referred to as a way for students to receive positive feedback, as well as a way to motivate students to increase their rate of homework completion. Another intervention chosen to use included increasing parental involvement in the completion of student homework through the use of daily homework planners. This intervention has been used as a strategy that has led to increased parental involvement, and an increase in the homework completion rate (Bryan & Burstein, 2004, Teacher). This intervention involved students writing assignments in their homework planners daily and taking the planners home to have them signed by their parents. By doing this students and parents were establishing a homework completion routine. The teacher researchers found that the use of Gotcha's and student planners seemed to positively effect the parent involvement rate. However, the percentage of incomplete assignments increased by seven percent. The teacher researchers also found that fewer students asked their parents for help with their homework. The teacher researchers believe that the use of planners helped students to organize their homework, and made parents more aware of homework assignments. Six appendixes are included: (1) Student Survey; (2) Parent Survey; (3) Teacher Survey; (4) Teacher observation Log; (5) Sample of Gotcha; and (6) Homework Planner. (Contains 2 tables and 22 graphs.)

This book was released on 2020-02-24 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main purpose of this Research Topic is to analyze and identify the main family and contextual variables that are involved in the process of carrying out homework. This will require studying the role played by teachers, students, and families in order to ensure that schoolwork is a useful learning tool. Although the role of the student is, obviously, crucial in homework, research has focused on the cumulative time spent by the student carrying out homework. However, the time spent on homework is not in itself evidence of the student’s involvement nor is time spent indicative of quality time. Indeed, an excess of time can sometimes denote low competence in a field of knowledge, while spending less time on homework could be indicative of high competence. It is more likely that a high dedication of time spent on homework reflects high motivation, or comprehension deficits, rather than commitment to learning or academic motivation. In tandem with the role of the student, teachers, as responsible for prescribing homework assignments for students, also become central players in the process of completing homework assignments. The decisions that teachers make about homework prescriptions, and the amount and type of tasks they set, will determine, to a large extent, the quality of the homework process including the student’s motivation and the student’s level of engagement with homework. Furthermore, the fact that homework is useful, interesting and motivating for students, will depend on how the teacher prescribes those tasks and the connection established with classroom learning. Teacher feedback also acquires particular relevance for this point by helping the students to accurately estimate the quality of their progress and overcome the difficulties they may have encountered in carrying out their homework. Lastly, the effectiveness of teacher feedback depends on its contribution to the student’s educational progress and how that student will perform in the future. In addition to the student who performs the task and the teacher who prescribes and corrects it, we must not lose sight of parents’ role. Although there are discrepancies regarding the role that parents play in relation to homework, it is evident that their implication has important consequences not only on the final result of those tasks but also on the very process of carrying them out. Everything seems to indicate that the family environment and, more specifically, the support and feedback provided by parents is a factor that can determine the involvement of students in school duties. In this way, providing emotional support encouraging children to get involved can contribute positively to improving their motivation and interest in the performance of homework. The objective of this Research Topic is to provide researchers and professionals in psychology and education settings with some of the most recent empirical evidence regarding the homework process, its prescription and correction. Overall, we aim to cease making homework a source of conflict and controversy at the socio-educational level in order to provide useful instruments for improving the quality of student learning. This work was developed with the financing of the research projects EDU2013-44062-P (MINECO), EDU2017-82984-P (MEIC).

Book excerpt: Deficits in executive functioning (EF) skills, a typical characteristic of students with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), negatively impacts adolescents' academic functioning and performance (Barkley, 2012). The purpose of this qualitative study was to better understand the student outcomes of the Homework, Organization and Planning Skills (HOPS) program (Langberg, 2011), a 16-sessions intervention designed to improve these skills in middle-school students with ADHD, and identify the different elements that may impact the degree of success, feasibility and dissemination of the program as perceived by three middle-school students, their parents and one of their teachers. In addition, the replacement of the HOPS paper calendar by a digital equivalent for tablets was also explored. Both qualitative (interviews) and quantitative (behaviour rating scales) data were collected from each of the three participants, their parents and one teacher prior to and following the completion of the HOPS intervention. Findings suggest that the HOPS program yielded progress in the area of homework completion and planning of academic schoolwork and organization of material. Also, although both parents and teachers noted academic improvements, teachers observed more moderate progress. In addition, the length and timing of the sessions were perceived as the program's strengths, whereas the level of parent involvement and the student's level of independence at the end of the intervention were deemed a difficulty.

Book excerpt: Does assigning fifty math problems accomplish any more than assigning five? Is memorizing word lists the best way to increase vocabulary—especially when it takes away from reading time? And what is the real purpose behind those devilish dioramas? The time our children spend doing homework has skyrocketed in recent years. Parents spend countless hours cajoling their kids to complete such assignments—often without considering whether or not they serve any worthwhile purpose. Even many teachers are in the dark: Only one of the hundreds the authors interviewed and surveyed had ever taken a course specifically on homework during training. The truth, according to Sara Bennett and Nancy Kalish, is that there is almost no evidence that homework helps elementary school students achieve academic success and little evidence that it helps older students. Yet the nightly burden is taking a serious toll on America’s families. It robs children of the sleep, play, and exercise time they need for proper physical, emotional, and neurological development. And it is a hidden cause of the childhood obesity epidemic, creating a nation of “homework potatoes.” In The Case Against Homework, Bennett and Kalish draw on academic research, interviews with educators, parents, and kids, and their own experience as parents and successful homework reformers to offer detailed advice to frustrated parents. You’ll find out which assignments advance learning and which are time-wasters, how to set priorities when your child comes home with an overstuffed backpack, how to talk and write to teachers and school administrators in persuasive, nonconfrontational ways, and how to rally other parents to help restore balance in your children’s lives. Empowering, practical, and rigorously researched, The Case Against Homework shows how too much work is having a negative effect on our children’s achievement and development and gives us the tools and tactics we need to advocate for change.

Download or read book Middle School Counselors' Use of Academic Interventions to Enhance Student Success written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School counselors have an important role in promoting student academic success. Empirical studies show that when school counselors are involved in academic interventions then student academic performance improves. This study explores middle school counselors' use of academic interventions to enhance student academic performance. Specifically, this study examines middle school counselors' experiences (use, extent of use, frequency of use) with academic interventions and how particular school counselor (years of experience, caseload) and school variables (size, type, setting, number of students receiving free/reduced lunch) are related to the use of academic interventions. This study examined three critical questions and tested six hypotheses using a quantitative research design. A series of descriptive statistics and one way ANOVAs were used to answer the study's three research questions. Two hundred fifty-nine middle school counselors from around the United States participated in the School Counselor Use of Academic Intervention Survey. This online survey consisted of counseling and school demographic information, intervention use, extent and frequency of intervention use and what time of day interventions took place. The study found that middle school counselors reported actively using evidence-based academic interventions to enhance student success. As the school counselor's caseload increases, the use of academic interventions decreases. Similarly, as the student population increases, the school counselor's use of academic interventions decreases. The impact of years of experience was inconsistent, with increased and decreased use of academic interventions in a non-linear pattern. The school counselor's role in improving student academic success is a focus in current school counseling literature; but little research has examined the use of interventions, especially at the middle school level. The findings from this study demonstrate the important role middle school counselors have in using academic interventions. Limitations, implications, and suggestions for further research are provided.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: When middle school students need to learn accountability and discipline to be successful in school, many parents, teachers and school administrators seek short-term solutions to stop inappropriate behavior. This mixed methods study was designed to determine the impact of one intervention used by many middle schools in Georgia, the Student Transition and Recovery (S.T.A.R.) program . The researcher found that the intervention, a military-style of discipline, did have a positive impact on student attendance, grades and discipline. The findings describe five major features of the intervention that contribute to its success. The study provides support for this type of intervention. The ultimate goal is to provide middle schools with an alternative intervention that keeps students in school while improving academics and discipline.
