abstract  this paper  aims at investigating the metacognitive knowledge of solving problem among primary school students with high and low school achievement. two other variables of the students’ grade and sex were also accounted for. the participants were 232 boy and girl students from forth and fifth grades which were randomly selected and divided into two groups of high  and low achievers . ...

This study analyzed the effects of five types of homework follow-up practices (i.e., checking homework completion; answering questions about homework; checking homework orally; checking homework on the board; and collecting and grading homework) used in class by 26 teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) using a randomized-group design. Once a week, for 6 weeks, the EFL teachers used a ...

There seems to be a general consensus in the literature that doing homework is beneficial for students. Thus, the current challenge is to examine the process of doing homework to find which variables may help students to complete the homework assigned. To address this goal, a path analysis model was fit. The model hypothesized that the way students engage in homework is explained by the type of...

Classical educational research provides empirical evidence of the positive effect of doing homework on academic results. Nonetheless, when this effect is analyzed in detail there are inconsistent, and in some cases, contradictory results. The central aim of this study was to systematically investigate the effect of homework on performance of students in mathematics and science using multilevel ...

AAE 35200 is an aerospace structural mechanics course for third-year students majoring in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering at Purdue University. In AAE 35200, students were given the opportunity to attend weekly optional one-hour supervised homework sessions instructed by a graduate teaching assistant (TA) during the Fall 2015 semester. The contents of the supervised homework session ...

This paper proposes a design for complementary community currencies for education communities to boost cooperation of the more advanced students with the less advanced ones. Its design follows two goals: motivating students to learn by doing extra homework (effort) and share knowledge with younger students (tutoring), and shifting the role of teachers towards a more supervisory, tutoring and dy...

Homework is a debated issue in society and its relationship with academic achievement has been deeply studied in the last years. Nowadays, schools are multicultural stages in which students from different cultures and ethnicities work together. In this sense, the present study aims to compare homework involvement and academic achievement in a sample of native and immigrant students, as well as ...

We compared the effect of an innovative homework assignment with that of traditional homework assignments on students’ conceptual understanding of electromagnetic induction. Students in the experimental group were asked to interact with computer simulations, to present qualitative reasoning explaining the phenomena displayed on the simulations, and were supported with immediate feedback in the ...

18. a) Using the results obtained in problem (2.17) above, we are to find a closed-form expression for the Green’s function for the interior of a cylinder of radius b with Dirichlet boundary conditions. From our general work with solutions to the Laplace equation with Green’s functions and from our work about in problem (2.17), we know that the Green’s function for the interior of the cylinder ...
