August 06, 2024

The subject of this month's dossier is homework, a subject that is a part of everyone's memories of their student years. Every parent wants to contribute to their children's education and help them prepare better for the future.

Although parents want to help, parents are concerned about how much homework contributes to this goal. While teachers argue that homework is critical for reinforcing lessons and developing a sense of responsibility, many parents and students believe that homework can cause stress, anxiety and health problems. Research also supports these views. Many different opinions have been put forward by researchers, from those who find homework useful and say that homework should be compulsory, to those who think that it is a source of stress for children and those who suggest that it should be done under certain conditions. Taking all these views into account, this month's issue of the Maarif Family Bulletin focuses on factors that can improve the quality of homework, which is considered an indispensable part of education, as well as informing readers about homework.

While preparing this issue, the subject has been handled from a broad perspective, from the historical processes of homework to its current understanding, its purposes, its differences according to the child's developmental period and its quality. There will be readers who both support homework and those who are skeptical about it. Recognizing that each view is important, this issue addresses the issue from an objective point of view. We wish you pleasant reading in advance.
