Book excerpt: The purpose of this action research project report was to increase the homework completion rate of middle school students through the use of interventions. The participants in this study came from one public middle school. The participants were thirty-four 6th grade students in language arts, respectively. The intervention took place from September 10, 2007 through November 20, 2007. The targeted students at one public middle school in northwestern Illinois exhibited low levels of homework completion. The teacher researchers surveyed teachers, parents, and students, in addition to completing teacher observation checklists for each of the targeted students. The teacher survey asked questions pertaining to students turning in homework, and receiving consequences for not doing so. The parent survey revealed that students do not bring homework assignments home but do ask for assistance when needed. The student survey indicated that parents helped their child with their homework assignments less than half the time (zero to three days a week). Also, students indicated that they fill out their planners most of the time (four to five days a week). The teacher observation checklists showed that incomplete homework assignments were a significant problem for the targeted students. One of the interventions that was chosen to implement was positive reinforcement through the Gotcha system. This intervention has been referred to as a way for students to receive positive feedback, as well as a way to motivate students to increase their rate of homework completion. Another intervention chosen to use included increasing parental involvement in the completion of student homework through the use of daily homework planners. This intervention has been used as a strategy that has led to increased parental involvement, and an increase in the homework completion rate (Bryan & Burstein, 2004, Teacher). This intervention involved students writing assignments in their homework planners daily and taking the planners home to have them signed by their parents. By doing this students and parents were establishing a homework completion routine. The teacher researchers found that the use of Gotcha's and student planners seemed to positively effect the parent involvement rate. However, the percentage of incomplete assignments increased by seven percent. The teacher researchers also found that fewer students asked their parents for help with their homework. The teacher researchers believe that the use of planners helped students to organize their homework, and made parents more aware of homework assignments. Six appendixes are included: (1) Student Survey; (2) Parent Survey; (3) Teacher Survey; (4) Teacher observation Log; (5) Sample of Gotcha; and (6) Homework Planner. (Contains 2 tables and 22 graphs.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of positive parental involvement in the rate of homework completion and the quantity of homework in low-achieving students. The study was conducted in the *th grade wellness consumer science classes. Three data sources were used to determine the effect of parental involvement: 1) pre- and post-tests, 2) number of completed homework assignments, and 3) quality of completed homework assignments, Parental involvement was an asset to my teaching practice and was effective in helping low-achieving students complete assignments. parental involvement also increased the quality of the assignments completed by the low-achieving students. After triangulating the data, I concluded the study was effective. The percentage of missing assignments was 5% in comparison to the control group, who was missing 47%. The quality of assignments also improved with 64% of the assignments reaching a goal of at least 80% accuracy. The control group had 42% of the assignments reaching the same accuracy goal.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many studies have stated that completion of homework, specifically in mathematics positively affects student achievement. However, there are limited resources that provide support for implementing strategies to increase mathematics homework completion while increasing student achievement. In an attempt to offer more research in this area, this study determined whether parental involvement improved student homework completion and in turn increased student academic achievement, allowing students to be successful in mathematics. Data was collected and analyzed to determine whether parental involvement increased homework completion rates and increased academic achievement. An average of homework completion rates were compared prior to the treatment of parental involvement on homework, and again after the treatment. A linear regression test was conducted to determine whether or not an increase in homework completion correlates to higher academic achievement. An ANOVA test was performed at the start and the conclusion of the study to determine if there was a statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group. The results showed an increase in average homework completion rates for the experimental group that had parental involvement. They also showed a positive correlation to an increase in homework completion correlating to higher academic achievement. Lastly, the results of the study showed that when there is parental involvement present in ensuring students complete their homework, there is a significant increase in students' overall academic achievement.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the relationship between parental involvement in schooling and students' academic achievement. A sample of sixth grade students and their parents from a rural middle school was used to survey the perception of parents' involvement in students' schooling. The hypothesis investigated in this study is that parents of children who are more involved in their education do better in school than children with parents who are less involved. Pearson r correlations between grade point averages and averages of student and parent involvement ratings at school, at home, personally, and cognitively show that general parent involvement and exposing the student to cognitively rich experiences and materials are positively linked to grade point averages. Examination of background variables indicate that the largest percentage of high achievers are girls with more educated mothers living in 2-parent biological families, and the largest percentage of low achievers are boys with less educated mothers living in single-parent families.
