The Purpose o! Ho#ework
The obvious aim of assigning homework is to
get your students to practice and strengthen
academic skills. By devoting the proper time to
homework, your students stand a much better
chance of making good grades.
But homework has other important values.
Homework can and should be a character
building e!perience. Handled properly by tutors,
homework helps students develop emotional
and behavioral skills needed in the adult world
Hidden Values of Homework
1. Responsibility: Homework is the
students responsibility. If you get too
involved, you set the process on its head.
2. Independence: Because it's the first
time someone other than a parent assigns
frequent tasks to the student, homework
breaks new ground. How this golden
opportunity is managed will either
enhance or obstruct your students
progress toward selfdirection.
3. Perseverance: !here's no point to a
student doing homework if every time the
student becomes frustrated, you step
right in and make it all better. It's "# to
let your student struggle a bit with a
problem.
. !ime mana"ement: $tudents need to
be told when to finish their homework, not
when to start it. !hat way, instead of
learning to waste time, the student learns
to manage it.
#. Initiative: %ike a muscle, the Human
brain has the ability to be a selfstarter
strengthening with e&ercise. !hat's why
it's essential that the student decide when
it's time to begin each homework
assignment.
$. %elf&reliance: Homework can affirm a
students feeling of competency.
'ismanaged, it deflates that feeling.
(nfortunately, there is no inbetween.
'. Resourcefulness: !he ability to be
inventive in the face of problems is the
very stuff of being human. Homework
provides a setting for your students to
practice such cleverness.
Making Homework Fun?
Here are some tips:
1. Assign only a reasonable amount of
homework.
2. If students are given a choice, they tend to
respond better. herefore it makes sense to
split homework into two components !
"re#uired$ and "voluntary$.
%. &ake your policy clear to students on:
what will be accepted, when it will be
accepted.
'. (ever use homework as punishment
.)uch practices will diminish the value of
homework.
*. he more innovative the homework, the
better its reception by students.
