HOMEWORK

3. WHY
HOMEWORK?
TEACHERS WILL TYPICALLY ASSIGN HOMEWORK BECAUSE IT
TEACHES STUDENTS RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR OWN LEARNING,
BUT THERE IS AN ON GOING DEBATE OVER WHETHER OR NOT THERE
IS VALUE AND PURPOSE WITH ASSIGNING HOMEWORK.

4. HOMEWORK
DEBATE
The following link is a podcast from Edchat
Radio where Vicki Davis, along with,
Connie Hamilton Ed.S. and Starr Sackstein
talk about the homework debate and how
homework should be reimagined, have
value, and have purpose.

5. STEPPING
AWAY FROM
TRADITIONAL
HOMEWORK
RESEARCHERS HAVE FOUND
THAT HOMEWORK MIGHT NOT
ACTUALLY BE EFFECTIVE, IT
HINDERS IMPORTANT FAMILY
TIME, AND IN MANY CASES, IT IS
UNFAIR FOR SOME STUDENTS
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE
THE RESOURCES AT HOME TO
COMPLETE HOMEWORK.
THIS CREATES THE QUESTION:
WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?

leadership/mar07/vol64/num06/The-Case-For-and-Against-
Homework.aspx

6. A NEW OPTION
ONE NEW APPROACH IS FLIPPED LEARNING/CLASSROOM
DEFINITION:
FLIPPED LEARNING IS AN APPROACH WHERE STUDENTS ARE
INTRODUCED TO THE LEARNING MATERIAL BEFORE CLASS.
CLASS TIME IS THEN USED TO DEEPEN THE UNDERSTANDING
THROUGH DISCUSSION AND PROBLEM-SOLVING ACTIVITIES

7. BACKGROUND
FLIPPED LEARNING WAS CREATED IN THE 1990S BY HARVARD
PROFESSOR ERIC MAZUR. MAZUR DEVELOPED A MODEL
CALLED "PEER INSTRUCTION" WHERE HE PROVIDED MATERIALS
FOR STUDENTS TO PREPARE AND REFLECT ON BEFORE CLASS.
CLASS TIME WAS THEN USED FOR DEEPER COGNITIVE THINKING
BY PEER INTERACTION AND INSTRUCTOR CHALLENGE.
