We examine the determinants of satisfactory homework performance among Principles of Macroeconomics students. Using OLS, we find that the student’s GPA, the time spent studying and the perceived usefulness of homework assignments in preparing for exams favor improved homework performance. In a LOGIT analysis, we discover the probability of making an ‘A’ is increased with a greater weight grante...

Homework has been a mysterious world to educators due to the fact that it is hard to collect data with regard to homework behaviors. Little is known about when a student works on homework, how long it takes him to complete the homework, how much time he spends on a problem and whether and where he has struggled, etc. Such information not only have implications on a student’s performance level o...

a r t i c l e i n f o Keywords: High school students Homework Multilevel analysis Self-regulated learning Time management This study examines empirical models of variables posited to predict time management in math homework for high school students, based on the data from 1799 students from 46 classes in China. The findings from multilevel analyses revealed that, at the class level, time manage...

FORCASTING ERRORS IN STUDENT MEDIA MULTITASKING DURING HOMEWORK COMPLETION. Christopher A. Baker, Brittany E. Noah, Charles C. Calderwood, Jeffrey D. Green, Jennifer A. Joy-Gaba & Jaclyn M. Moloney, Department of Psychology, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond VA 232842018. Many students report that they multitask with media while doing homework, but we know very little about why they en...

Flipped instruction is becoming more common in the United States, particularly in mathematics classes. One of the defining characteristics of this increasingly popular instructional format is the homework teachers assign. In contrast to traditional mathematics classes in which homework consists of problem sets, homework in flipped classes often takes the form of an instructional video. This pap...

The optimum time students should spend on homework has been widely researched although the results are far from unanimous. The main objective of this research is to analyze how homework assignment strategies in schools affect students' academic performance and the differences in students' time spent on homework. Participants were a representative sample of Spanish adolescents (N = 26,543) with ...

The purpose and goal of this assignment was to design and implement a small system to predict a class of a single numerical variable in a binomial class problem. In order to do this, it was requested to implement or to think of one or more “1D classifiers”, discussing their computational complexities in the learning phases, the performances on the given dataset, the differences and similarities...

Traditional studies of intelligent tutoring systems have focused on their use in the classroom. Few have explored the advantage of using ITS as a web-based homework (WBH) system, providing correctness-only feedback to students. A second underappreciated aspect of WBH is that teachers can use the data to more efficiently review homework. Universities across the world are employing these WBH syst...

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective psychotherapy modalities used to treat depression and anxiety disorders. Homework is an integral component of CBT, but homework compliance in CBT remains problematic in real-life practice. The popularization of the mobile phone with app capabilities (smartphone) presents a unique opportunity to enhance CBT homework compliance; howe...

Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine if online homework using MyMathLab (MML) would lead to an increase in academic performance compared with traditional paper-based, instructor-graded homework. Seventy-two students enrolled in a required college algebra course participated in this study. Results from this study indicate that there is not enough evidence to claim that the stu...
