abilities and skills and to increase the knowledge of the students, and it was designed to

strengthen what students have learned and also the effects of it. In this concept paper is

II. Body of Concept Paper

a. Subtopic 1

Many have used the term, homework, but only few have defined it. One of the

few is Keith (1986) defines homework as that work which teachers normally task for

completion outside the classroom. Definitely, homework can fulfil several purposes. For

example, practicing homework can boost you mastery of skills and the participation of

students’ involvement in the learning task (Olympia, et.al., 1993).

b. Subtopic 2

According to Beckman (2018), Homework deepens your understanding of a

subject matter. For example, an Information Technology student, assigned to do a report

on applying a particular technology in the education system. To show a deep analysis of

the issue, it should search for more information. It is indeed that it likely to spend a

significant amount of time, but it will know more about Information Technology. This way,

it expand the knowledge of the field of study. It is easy to get the class material, go home

to finish the work, and pass to get a grade but it is more productive to do homework in

the form of self-guided work towards which it is oriented and encouraged, than assessed

by a professor. In addition homework is task to deepen students’ knowledge and

understanding of academic subjects, critical thinking skills, and the ability to apply those

to real-life situations.

Subtopic 3

Rogozinsky (2018) stated that It causes stress and burnout. There is a survey

from elementary and high school teachers saw signs of homework-related stress in their

students. Another survey, conducted by an association that the inability to complete the

homework of high school students was often the factor in the decision to drop out of

school. An hours of homework everyday on loaded school schedule and extracurricular

activities is a lot to manage, causing some students to experience stress.

III. Summary/Conclusion

In summary, homework has its benefits and harmful effects. But still it has many

benefits than harmful effects that we will motivated though it should be minimize because

students does not only have one subject to succeed. It also develops habits and attitudes

beyond the school. The characters like self-discipline and love for learning benefit

students throughout their lives.
