Benefits

Students’ homework often creates tension in the family more than it helps the student learn.

A study by the Institute of Education, University College London, found that helping children with homework "can create or exacerbate tensions in families." The study found: "Environments in which parents strive to control their children's homework reduce Children's learning efficiency, such as telling children when and where to do homework, or trying to eliminate various distractions, etc. The correct approach is to help children arrange the time and place of homework according to their own learning style. "The biggest role of parents comes from the spirit. support, and when a child needs special help.

The report also adds that some children do homework more efficiently when the TV is on or the radio is playing music. Students reported that background music made it easier for them to concentrate. This may be because the background music eliminated other distractions or "erected a wall of sound so that they could calm down." At the same time, the music also served as a companion. It can help students overcome the loneliness when doing homework.

The study also found that homework has a "mediocre effect" on improving students' academic performance, especially for smart students and senior middle school students.

At the same time, homework can bring many side effects. Students who complain that homework encroaches on their free time experience "anxiety, boredom, fatigue, and emotional boredom," even if they think the homework helps them learn.
