Is homework a vital learning tool oran outdated educational throwback?

20:00:09 ukedchatIts 8pm. Time for #ukedchat @ICTmagic @8pm Ishomework a vital learning tool or an outdatededucational throwback?

20:00:14 ICTmagicGood evening. I would like to start very general. Do

you set homework and why? #ukedchat

20:00:31 virkjay@shaunh0pper We've given each pupil a stationaryset - tool kit to get started in previous years too. Topromote creativity #ukedchat

20:01:07 dandesignthink#ukedchat it's better to encourage students to takework home (optional) rather than homework(compulsory)

20:01:15 rainbowcat23We set homework to consolidate learning that hastaken place that week #ukedchat

20:01:48 Jivespin The purpose of homework for me is to extendlearning opportunities, practice skills and to uidestudents in reading more widely #ukedchat

20:01:51 rainbowcat23 Quite boring though! #ukedchat

20:02:03 Payno04#ukedchat Homework is a great tool for learning aslong as it's appropriate and designed to stimulate andsupport children's learning!!!

20:02:23 jamesdhobsonI would love to dispense with homework. But there istoo much to do. You need to change what schools do

first #ukedchat20:02:39 Dandan7171

#ukedchat sometimes think my children gethomework to please parents rather than any specificworth being involved.

20:05:01 PhilippaIsom#ukedchat we do not grade homework for reportingpurposes, only effort. Students have vast differencesin access to resources at home

20:05:41 PhilippaIsom @Jivespin is this lazy? It's how I do it :-) #ukedchat

20:05:43 bekblaytonProblem with homework is those children who wouldbenefit most become turned off quickly because theydon't/can't do complete it #ukedchat

20:05:53 PhysicsAndy @ICTmagic imagine students leaving school withouthaving had the chance to practise independentlearning outside of a classroom #ukedchat

20:06:10 Educationchat#ukedchat Homework is the biggest drag of the weekfor me - to set it and mark it. The only point of it is toappease parents.

20:06:10 mrpeel

20:06:14 ICTmagic How can we ensure that HW is relevant and useful tothe children and the teacher for teaching? #ukedchat@PeterSpencer88

20:06:28 Payno04#ukedchat If homework is set for the sake of it, itwon't have the desired effect and could have anegative effect on children's attitudes!!

20:06:30 ianaddison#ukedchat we do half hour each for maths andliteracy homework per week, then this is then markedby LSAs

20:06:35 Showmyhomework#ukedchat is homework consistently set across yourschool?

20:07:11 MyersClaireWould like to work on getting students to set theirown HW so they own it #ukedchat

20:07:14 rkieran

#ukedchat Not done it but, for hwk ch'n study the

same 'thing' from YR to Y6. Whatever they'reinterested in. Knowledge builds to expertise

20:07:14 day_tom@helen2112 #ukedchat - same here. Meant to set1/2 hour for every hour teach. KS3 and 4. Too muchfor kids and to much for me to assess.

20:07:25 Jivespin@PeterSpencer88 Oh yes - must have a link toprevious learning or it has little value #ukedchat

20:07:29 ICTmagic@SamRowley How would that change the type ofhomework you set if it were set less frequently?#ukedchat

20:07:36 mrpeel#ukedchat key questions: who actually did it? Howlong did it take? I try to avoid writing tasks because Icannot know these answers.

20:07:38 dandesignthink#ukedchat how about tutors only setting homework?Not for subjects, but for student development? Areasstudents are interested in?

20:07:40 davidhunter@lizzie_h18 it's funny but I always thought my ownsons reading homework got in the way of meteaching him to read #ukedchat

20:07:47 lizzie_h18

we gave a blank speech bubble for homework - forchildren to talk to their parents about what they hadlearnt in Y2 - worked well#Ukedchat

20:07:54 SamRowley@ICTmagic we are forced to set hmk everyday. Fartoo much IMO, couple of times a week would bebetter #ukedchat

20:07:55 bekblaytonSometimes I would send home speech bubbles with'discussion' points - reviewing concepts or topic

20:08:32 ethinking#ukedchat @StephenLev homework: totalitarian mindcontrol allowing schools to delude themselves theyknow better than all families

20:08:50 Showmyhomework@eyebeams #ukedchat great question! One of thebiggest complaints from sec schools is abouthomework from parents!

20:08:50 Educationchat#ukedchat The number of times parents havecompleted homework for their children...

20:08:55 mikeatedji#ukedchat homework is an opportunity for parents toparticipate in their child' school life/learning.

20:08:56 Payno04@virkjay @Magicfullstop A book voucher?! Really?!Secondary or primary?! #ukedchat

20:09:06 davidhunter#ukedchat that Sutton trust report found homework tohave minimal impact on learning. Have to say it reallydepends on what is set.

20:09:15 kvnmcl#ukedchat Homework is a complete and utter wasteof everyone's time. Pointless in every way possible.

20:09:15 PeterSpencer88@Jivespin will definitely look into it. How often do youset this sort of homework? #ukedchat

as apposed to homework?

20:09:22 lizzie_h18@davidhunter i think its the only chance a lot of ourchildren have to share a book with their parentsthough sadly #Ukedchat

20:09:34 Educationchat #ukedchat Spelling tests! I mean...the kids learn themfor the test but then promptly forget! What is thepoint?

20:09:35 mrpeelAs parent and teache ri'd prefer 1 extra hour per dayand no HWK - or build in daytime slot in school for"private work" #ukedchat

20:09:45 teacherofy5we set homework - parents expect - and I believe it'sanother way of reinforcing what they've learnt inclass-also school told #ukedchat

20:09:47 jobadge #ukedchat chn share with peers, vote on best 1.Homework club provided twice a week for chn to doin school if no support at home.

My final thought is that if the students don't want to do

the homework, there's something wrong with thehomework, not the student #ukedchat

parents. Ideas? #ukedchat

20:56:34 mrpeel@Edutronic_Net #ukedchat fair comment - the issueis what we set, not if we set... always engaging andalways relevant -stimulate learning

20:56:34 judeenright@Pekabelo #ukedchat Ask students to do a tube mapfor homework and they'll spend weeks on it ;)

20:59:04 MyersClaire@AndyRoss75 @karlhandy @ICTmagic HW club is agood idea. Many of our students have parents whocan't support them as they are EAL #ukedchat

20:59:04 samthewestie@KarlBarrs #ukedchat freire at work again and whynot


@cherrylkd It depends on the SEN student. Some of
