Cooper provides a near, meta-analysis of research data on homework that answers essential questions of teachers, administrators, parents, and students. I have had teachers complain about the voluminous amount of homework given by peers, as well as the lack of homework required by others. The examples of site and district homework policies were useful in creating our own homework policy. Out of 5 starsa balanced perspectivebymarilyn kingon september 18, 2010format: paperback|verified purchasethis is an easy read and a balanced perspective on whether children should be doing homework and how much is enough. It's not that they aren't valid statements, scientifically speaking--many of them are--but they just don't provide enough justification (or common sense) either alone or taken example, when he summarizes the negative effects of homework, among them he lists that "home study can increase differences between high- and low-achieving students, especially when the achievement difference is associated with economic differences... Aside from the obvious devil's advocate question of this not being valid in an economically homogeneous environment, there's the sheer absurdity of the implied suggestion that we should disadvantage the more privileged children and stunt their development by eliminating homework so as to level the playing field! Every student will get "satiated" at different points--some after 30 minutes of homework, some after 5 minutes of homework... So, why would it occur to anyone to draw the line after x minutes of schoolwork and before any minutes of homework? Comparisons involving mathematics revealed the smallest effect of homework; those involving science and social studies revealed the largest effect; and those involving reading and english fell in the middle. In fact, in yet another later chapter, he refers back to this very contradiction, by writing: "taken together then, the two experimental studies lend no support to the notion that longer homework assignments lead to higher achievement, at least in mathematics. What is clear is that we cannot rule out the likelihood that at least some of the relationship between time on homework and achievement found in surveys is due to higher achievement causing more time on homework. In fact, overall, i think the entire book can be summed up in one sentence, as follows: "it's likely that homework, when given in reasonable small-but-frequent doses and within meaningful assignments, can help improve students' test scores; however, this has not been definitively proven nor refuted, nor has it been significantly tested using any measurement other than test scores--so don't expect this book to do anything more than just speculate and sum up the motley collection of studies. Here's another section representative of this frustrating inconclusiveness:"what can happen when parents become involved in homework? Recall that educators have suggested the impact of parent involvement on the effectiveness of homework could be either positive or negative. Alternatively, direct involvement of parents in homework could lead to excessive pressure on children to complete assignments and do well. Finally, educators point out that although monitoring and assisting with homework by parents should be beneficial to students, overly involved parents might give assistance beyond tutoring, perhaps by simply giving correct answers or completing assignments themselves. The results of our survey supported the claim that, although parents report positive experiences with homework most of the time, negative forms of parent involvement in homework occur at least some of the time in most families. However, if we take a step back from the trees and look at the forest, i believe that he is very well-versed on the subject and that his research is extremely exhaustive and, as such, he teaches one thing and one thing only, and that is:***research has shown that there is no conclusive data to be had on homework--no one-size-fits-all policy that would satisfy all schools and all situations. Every other book or article i've read about homework had some reference to, or quote from, harris cooper.

Students gripe about the time homework takes from their leisure activities, if they understand its value at complaints are not surprising, considering that homework assignments are influenced by more factors than any other instructional strategy. Student differences play a major role because homework allows students considerable leeway in whether, when, and how to complete assignments. Finally, the broader community plays a role by providing other leisure activities that compete for the student's third edition of the battle over homework: common ground for administrators, teachers, and parents has been significantly revised from the second edition.
The summaries of [page x]research that appear throughout the book are based on a new synthesis of the most recent studies of homework. Have written this book to help everyone involved in the process make sound decisions about homework. My objective is to provide readers with the terms, definitions, and research evidence needed to hold conversations about homework in a constructive manner. Also, i hope to help readers set effective homework policies, rules, or guidelines, be they for a school district, a school, a classroom, or a book speaks to all the parties in the homework process—administrators, teachers, parents, and students. I did this to make it easy for readers to find answers to the questions that concern them strators can use this book not only to help develop policies but also to assist in explaining to teachers and parents the rationale behind the homework guidelines they set. Parents will find reasons why certain practices are followed by schools and teachers as well as some practical advice regarding how to help their children with homework. But most important, i hope the book is used by administrators, teachers, and parents together to make their discussions about homework a positive experience and to help resolve book addresses homework issues at both the elementary and secondary levels. We shall see that the differences in the functions and results of homework at different grade levels are among homework's most interesting and revealing characteristics. The first chapter contains (a) a general definition of homework; (b) the important distinctions in homework assignments; (c) a list of the possible effects of homework, both positive and negative; and (d) a model of the homework process. The second chapter summarizes research on whether homework is generally effective, as well as whether it is more effective for some grade levels, subjects, and types of students than for others. This chapter also looks at research on how much homework is best for students at different grades. The third chapter examines studies of variations in homework assignments that can influence their effects on achievement. The fourth chapter looks at how the community and family fit into the homework process. I integrate some of these recommendations into a set of homework policy guidelines—consistent with research findings—for school districts, schools, and classrooms. Finally, i have included a chapter with tips for teachers, parents, and students meant to help them ensure that homework is completed in an efficient and effective involvement with homework began in 1986. In that year, i received a grant from the national science foundation to gather, summarize, and integrate the research on the effects of homework. This was because the influences on homework are complex—no simple, general statement about whether homework helps learning was possible. Furthermore, there was enough homework research so that studies could be found to promote whatever position was desired, while the contradictory evidence was ignored. Thus, [page xii]advocates for or against homework often cited isolated studies either to support or refute its value.
Had no strong predisposition favoring or opposing homework when i began my studies 20 years ago. I did have a two-year-old son at the time (with a daughter to follow shortly thereafter), so homework was about to become an issue in my family. Therefore, i attempted to collect all research, both positive and negative, that examined the effects of homework or that compared variations in homework assignments. Then, i applied the most rigorous techniques to integrate the results of studies, using statistical procedures if tely, my first synthesis of homework research included nearly 120 studies. It require me to read about twice that many related pieces on homework and resulted in the first book-length assessment of homework as an instructional strategy, titled, not surprisingly, homework (cooper, 1989). Next, in the mid-1990s, my colleagues and i conducted an extensive survey of more than 80 teachers and 700 families regarding how the homework process unfolded in their lives. Now my students and i have completed yet another review of the literature on homework, covering the studies on homework that have appeared since the first review. We found more than 60 new studies on the effectiveness of homework, about 60 studies that looked at parent involvement, and numerous studies on the impact of assignment characteristics on homework outcomes. Also, in the two decades since my involvement with [page xiii]homework began, i have spent hundreds of hours talking with individual principals, teachers, and parents about homework. When we keep these ideas in mind, homework becomes an opportunity for cooperation in learning. And especially, thanks to the hundreds of parents, teachers, and students who completed questionnaires and shared their ideas and experiences about homework with me. Cooper is the editor of psychological bulletin; has been an advising editor for the journal of educational psychology, the elementary school journal, the journal of experimental education, and personality and social psychology bulletin; and has been a guest editor of special issues on homework for the educational psychologist and theory into practice.
