The Effectiveness of Doing Homework to the Students’ Academic Performance

I. INTRODUCTION

In a school year, students experience a 9 month period of going to school to learn new

lessons, and teachers teach students for a whole school year. Teachers provide activities for

their students, particularly homework. A homework is intended to test the students'

knowledge of what they have learned from the discussion of their teacher. According to the

researchers observation, teachers provide different types of homework that can consume time.

In different households, individuals particularly the student are assigned to do household

chores, but due to the task given by the teachers, it is difficult for the students to balance their

time. That is why this survey aims to determine how effective doing homework is for

students and does doing assignments at home really stressful for students or not.

II. METHODOLOGY

The researchers from the grade 8 Science conducted the survey about The

Effectiveness of Doing Homework to the Students’ Academic Performance. In this study, the

researchers determined on how homework affects the academic performance of the students.

The survey was conducted at Baybay National High School, from different classrooms with

randomized selected participants. The researchers conducted the survey during April 11,12,

and 18 2024. Due to the announcement by the Department of Education about the distance

learning of the students to compile their different outputs, the date of the researchers to

conduct the survey was delayed. The researchers conducted the survey by doing simple

random sampling. In identifying the different sections, the researchers pick by randomization

in gathering all the different sections and the researches will only choose 5 different sections

on where the researchers will conduct the survey. After identifying the sections, the

researches goes to their assigned classroom to ask the class record so that the researchers will
depend on the class record in selecting. In picking the randomize participants, the researchers

prepare a numbers from 1-40 because it is the maximum number of students in the school,

and in choosing the participants researchers will pick random numbers and will count it from

the class record of each section. The two selected participants will answer the survey of the

researchers.

III. DISCUSSION

This chapter will discuss the effectiveness of homework’s on students’ academic

performances and the reaction of students towards the implementation of homework.

Conclusion

Overall survey, the researchers examined the different experiences of students when

the teachers assign them homework if it is suitable for them or not. The researchers

concluded that homework can make students stressed and homework can cause high grades.

Recommendations
 As a young researcher, one of the alternative solution that can be suggested is to have

time management. Doing time management as a young learner it makes the young learner be

prepared in the future. When doing homeworks, the students must clear their schedule

especially in household chores before they will answer so that their would not be complex on

their time. Providing homeworks to the students is a good idea to identify on how the learners

understand the lesson of their teacher.
