When Was Homework Invented

Roberto Nevilis, an Italian pedagogue, is credited with inventing homework in 1905. Since then, homework has improved education by allowing students to learn at their own pace outside of the classroom. Educators believe homework is essential for developing students' initiative, independence, and creativity. Homework prevents students from forgetting material learned in class and requires repeated comprehension to master concepts. It also allows knowledge to be dispersed and absorbed more thoroughly. Homework aims to improve students' skills and develop their talents through independent work outside of the classroom.

When Was Homework Invented?

Owing to Roberto Nevilis, an Italian pedagog who invented the


homework, we can notice obvious improvement in the education
system and its efficiency since 1905. Since time when was
homework invented, there is a real improvement in the education
sector.
Educators who adhere to traditional views on the learning process
believe that home learning is an essential condition for efficient
educational activities. According to a person who invented
homework, it is a way to develop students' initiative,
independence, individuality, and creative imagination.
Apart from the above points, the need for home teaching is
determined by following factors:
 During the in-school learning, a concentrated assimilation of
the studied material takes place. Afterwards, the gained
knowledge is forgotten. To prevent this forgetting,
homework is needed;
 Mastery of scientific concepts requires their repeated
comprehension and assimilation;
 The thoroughness and strength of the material assimilation
being studied is achieved only when its memorization is
dispersed;
 Home learning is important for the development of students'
creative talents and abilities.
The success of the teaching depends on the success of homework
preparing. This aspect has been considered since time when was
homework invented; organization of homework is the most
difficult thing in the teaching and educational process. Many
aspects of this problem require the closest attention from the tutor.
When elaborating an assignment for children, teachers should
realize that the process of educational material assimilation passes
through obligatory stages:
 perception
 comprehension
 fastening
 the formulation of the formation of skills
 application of new knowledge and skills in practice
If you wonder who invented homework and why, read further to
know even more.
What Are the Main Purposes of Homework?
The role of homework has always been discussed not just by those
who invented school and homework. Many people today believe
that homework is not obligatory for mastering the studied
material. But recent scientific research proves the opposite.
According to the study, homework plays an important role in
improving quality of students' knowledge. This is true about
elementary school. Who invented homework and why?
According to Roberto Nevilis, who invented school and
homework, this academic task provides the student with the
opportunity:
 to work without haste;
 to study with no outside estimation;
 to choose the optimal rhythm (hours) of work;
 to independently plan the course of work;
 to involve all necessary sources of information.
Based on above points, the value of the academic assignment is in:
 fixing in memory the material disassembled in the classroom;
 repetition of previously passed material;
 consolidation and expansion of various skills necessary for
independent work.
The main purpose of the homework:
 education of strong-willed efforts of the child, responsibility
and independence;
 mastering the skills of educational work, expressed in
various ways of teaching;
 formation of the ability to extract necessary information from
various directories, manuals, dictionaries;
 the formation of student's research skills (comparison,
comparison, assumption, hypothesis construction, etc.).
A suitable system of homework assignments in each class and the
totality of all classes is a prerequisite for the students to
successfully master the program material. It necessitates to apply
different types of homework. The main goal of the tutor is the
rationale for the type of homework depending on material being
studied. The tutor should be able to correctly combine different
variants of homework in each class and in all classes. A good
option would be to get students out of the box with outdoor
learning.
