Description

The subject of having homework in primary school education has been an ongoing debate sparking interests amongst school administration, parents, and students. Homework serves as the foundation of learning to many children and the skills they develop. It has also been known to be an extension to the school day, providing at home practice to further develop skills. Primary school institutions are now shifting towards a no homework environment, disrupting many skills and habits during a child's development. Through analyzing academic works related to the effectiveness of homework in primary school institutions, I find a consensus among works that demonstrate how cognitive mastery, skill development, and parental communication develops from homework. Furthermore, skills such as responsibility, time-management, self-studying, and problem-solving are developed through the encouragement of homework. Second-order effects show benefits to parental engagement in the success of their student. In sum, homework is vital for positive habit formation, builds a foundation for secondary education, and allows for instruction to be continued at home.
