Homework Research and Policy: A Review of the Literature
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Homework plays a significant role in education in the United States. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, two-thirds of 9-, 13-, and 16-year-olds reported doing homework, and the percentage was increasing (Anderson et al., 1986). Thirteen-year-olds reported spending an average of about one hour daily on homework (Walberg, 1991). These data show that homework accounts for about 20 percent of the total time the typical American student spends on academic tasks.
