Impact of Homework on the Student Academic Performance at Secondary School Level

Abstract

Homework is the means by which the relationship between home and school is demonstrated and developed, leading to more consistent progress in all aspects of school life. The current research was carried out in Gilgit Baltistan to find out the impact of homework on the academic performance of students at secondary level. The research was observed by teachers of Gilgit Baltistan public schools while 100 teachers were chosen by a random sampling technique as a sample. Questionnaires were as a research instrument. The study found that homework impacts learning for learners, its impact differs with the age of students, and it plays an important role in student achievement. The study proposed that homework should be purposeful, i.e. it should include the introduction of new content, the practise of skills, the creation of any data and the ability for students to explore topics of their own interest.

Impact of Homework on the Student Academic Performance
at Secondary School Level
Homework is the means by which the relationship between home and school is demonstrated
and developed, leading to more consistent progress in all aspects of school life. The current
research was carried out in Gilgit Baltistan to find out the impact of homework on the academic performance of
students at secondary level. The research was observed by teachers of Gilgit Baltistan public schools while 100
teachers were chosen by a random sampling technique as a sample. Questionnaires were as a research instrument.
The study found that homework impacts learning for learners, its impact differs with the age of students, and it
plays an important role in student achievement. The study proposed that homework should be purposeful, i.e. it
should include the introduction of new content, the practise of skills, the creation of any data and the ability for
students to explore topics of their own interest.
Key Words: Homework, Academic, Performance, Skills, Ability
Introduction
Students are becoming increasingly involved in extracurricular activities in our modern society that
extend beyond the school day. Athletics, music, religious groups, as well as holding a part time job
are also part of these extracurricular activities. These events are applied to an already strenuous school
day of 7-8 hours where students are involved in learning activities. Galloway et. al. discuss that
completed on 4,317 high-performing students, found that it is difficult for students to maintain their
personal lives, extracurricular activities, and homework (Galloway, 2013).
Homework is something children do beyond regular school day to help them understand. In
response to school guidance. Homework provides a broad variety of educator and parent / career
events to foster child learning.
Homework builds a connexion between school and home. When you're in school, parents can't
spend much time with you. Homework helps you keep up with what you do in your classes daily. For
over five decades, homework has been a big problem for elementary and secondary schools. There
have been only few tertiary researches both in academic and non-academic areas.
Homework is an important part of a child's education and can add a lot to the development of a
child. Proponents and opponents are making arguments in support of their views on the need and
value of homework in the growth of students and the creation of knowledge. Homework is an
significant example of collaboration between teachers and parents / careers. One of the goals of our
teaching is for children to develop as independent learners, and we agree that doing homework is
one of the key ways in which children can learn independently.
Homework is "any job assignment that the school teachers expect to conduct during a non-
school time," as defined by Cooper (1989). A more generally described concept of housework by the
De Jong, Westerhof, and Creemers (2000) indicates the household work as "running school
curriculums outside of daily schooling." Cooper 's idea has been common in homework research

Impact of Homework on the Student Academic Performance at Secondary School Level

(Cooper, Lindsay, Nye, & Greathouse, 1998; Cooper, Robinson, & Patall, 2006; Dettmers, Trautwein
and Ludtke, 2009).
Paschal, Weinstein and Walberg (1984 ) found that, through a meta-analysis of fifteen
quantitative studies, homework had a positive effect in certain categories. In particular, traditional,
routine and graduated work had the most positive impact on student achievement.
The part of homework in scholarly accomplishment is an old conversation that enhanced the
competitiveness of a country and an age of domestic life that is almost outlawed (Cooper, 2001;
Walberg et al . 1985) thus talks about the housing movement and starts debates and discussions.
The subject is known as being nuanced (Corno, 1996), enigmatic (Trautwein et al. 2003),
camelaeon (Trautwein et al. 2009) and Janus-faced (Flunger et al . 2015). This subject is a very
difficult one. Cooper et al. must be decided. (2006) Homework is a practise fraught with
inconsistencies, with positive as well as negative consequences. According to Cooper (1989), data
that support the claim that homework benefits all students can be found depending on our preferences
or it does and does not matter, this is not relevant (Barber, 1986).
Historically more studied was the relation between the time at home and the output of education
(Cooper, 1989; Cooper et al., 2006; Fan et al., 2017). The first duration analysis (Paschal et al., 1984).
It focuses on the idea that the time spent at home reflects the interest, engagement and positive
relationship between homework and success for each student.At the end of the 20th century it was
the same idea that more positive than negligent results were found (Cooper, 1989). The relationship,
however, was also not strictly linear (2001), and the intensity depended upon the student's age. The
relationship is also understood.
Linear hierarchic modelling at the turn of the century opposed this idea by showing that the
situation in the homework and its impact on success was based rather than on the attitude of
individuals on their classroom variables (e.g. the frequency or number of tasks). Multi-stakeholder
research showed that individual time changes did not impact on the results of academics (Farrow et
al , 1999; De Jong et al., 2000; Dettmers et al., 2010, Murillo and Martinez-Garrido 2013; Fernández-
Alonso et al, 2013).
The explanations for that zero or negative relationship are that positive variables contradict
academic opportunities with time to work. For example, Some children don't have to spend too much
on homework because they learn easily and experience extremely. or because they don't have to do
their homework and do their study (Trautwein, 2007; Dettmers et al., 2010) (Flunger et al., 2015).
Often, because they are unable to learn and focus, because they lack aspirations and want more
direct support (Trautwein et al., 2006), or because they do a lot of work and take care of theirself.
(Flunger et al., 2015). Sociological variables like gender are similar: girls spend a lot of time working
at home (Gershenson and Holt, 2015). However, in structured trials, they are more readable than
boys and less scientific and logical (OECD 2013).
By comparison, multi-level studies have shown systemic effects on results when the time to work
at class or school level is considered. De Jong et al. (2000) found a strong and important correlation
with the results in mathematics in the number of tasks assigned to homework in one year. Similarly,
the amount or quantity of homework and the regular assignment of homework have a positive impact
on results. The evidence indicates that the effects of the former have more effect on performance
than the latter when viewed together as frequency and volume (Trautwein et al., 2002; Trautwein,
2007).
The relation between homework and the achievement of language acquisition in the third graders
was examined by Townsend (1995). Results of her research showed that students with homework
tested more than students with vocabulary tests.
The learning of the student increases when homework serves a specific goal and combines the
skills of each student with current subjects. Feedback enhances homework performance, especially if
delivered in time (within 24 hours). Efficient feedback enhances learning through the correction of
confusion, confirmation of procedures and confusion.

However, students should have enough homework. Research has shown that the overloading of
homework causes students not only to neglect school interests, but also to fatigue physically and
emotionally (Copper 1994). It also affects students' homework behaviours and does not achieve good
learning outcomes. Warton (2001 ) notes that homework influences the emotional effects of young
children and causes tensions with their parents. In some circumstances, students do not want to do
homework because they do homework to meet their teachers (Paudel, 2012).

4. Homework reinforces classroom instructions and focuses on understanding.
5. Homework is not given only for grading, although it plays an important role in the success of
students.
6. Homework does not cut into family time, but it keeps the students in touch with their class
work.
7. Homework does not burden the students but it is responsible for engaging the students busy
with their studies at home.
Discussion
Homework refers to schoolwork that a student would do outside the classroom. Homework is
something children do in response to feedback from the school beyond their regular day at school,
which contributes to their learning. Homework involves a range of teacher and parent / career events
that help children learn. Homework builds a bridge from school to home. Parents never spend a lot
of time at school with you. Homework helps them to keep up with what you do everyday schoolwork
during your lessons, which a student has to do at home. The purpose of the homework is to help
improve what has been learned. It often seeks to obtain additional knowledge outside classroom
instruction. Homework provides a significant example of collaboration between teachers and parents.
The aim of assigning homes to children is to develop as independent students and one of the key
way’s children can gain the know-how of independent learning is to do homework. Homework is
intended to improve the students ' academic skills and to help them grow their skills. Homework is
important because it offers a better option for students to learn and enhances the thought and memory
of children. Housework helps children to make prudent use of time. It teaches children to work
themselves.
The study found that homework affects learning among students, its implications differ with the
age of the students and is important to the success of the students. It has also been found that neither
time-consuming homework nor students were burdened but the emphasis was on understanding and
improving education in schools. It was noted that homework helps students build their self-
employment, develops students' thought and memory and keeps them in touch with the work they
do.
Homework should ensure that students were independent staff, the results of this research
indicated. The priority should be on homework. It should be given a small amount of homework so
students shouldn't be burdened by homework. This kind of homework that made students imaginative
should be given. Homework should be stringent as it plays a major role in the performance of
students. In addition, homework should be targeted because it is a key to success.
Conclusions
The research study after going through detailed analysis has deduced a conclusion.
In student development, homework plays an important role. Current research has shown that
attractive methods of teaching can affect the minds of students for a long period of time. Homework
is therefore also a significant factor of knowledge building. Homework refers to school work for a
student outside the classroom.
Studies have shown that most teachers claim that homework is a screening tool that allows
teachers to track the progress of students on a daily basis. Homework has a beneficial impact on
learning and the results of learning are different from the students' age and generate curiosity for
learning.
It is the responsibility of the teacher to create productive homework tasks and to give students and
parents the required tools to make the process as effective as possible. If teachers strive together to use
student support techniques in classrooms, plan homework in a way that indicates is most successful,

offers opportunities for constructive parent engagement and teaches self-regulation effectively, they are
setting up a homework programme, which allows all students to achieving.
Furthermore, this study has been linked to previous studies and results overlap, namely
homework that influences learning for students and plays an important role in the success of students.
Recommendations
• Deliver purposeful homework i.e. add new material, practice skills, prepare knowledge, and
provide students with opportunities to discuss issues in which they are interested.
• Homework may be carried out as realistic activities that improve skills newly learned.
• Students should develop homework for students to increase the probability of completing
homework at high success rates individually.
• Careful management of the amount of homework given should not take too much attention
from other home activities and makes it acceptable for the students' age ranges.
• Parents should be interested in a way that will allow students to summaries what they have
learnt from homework, e.g. as a sounding board. Homework may establish study habits among
the students.
• Students need a home diary as it will keep their parents mindful of their children's duties in the
homework.
• Homework will ensure that students have become self-employed.
• Homework should concentrate on learning.
• The small amount of homework should be completed so the students should not be burdened.
• Students should be required to think at home.
• There may be such kinds of homework that created the students.
• Homework can be strict, since it plays an important part in students ' progress.
