RESEARCH ADVISER
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Education has been a significant part of the society. As of today, education

plays a vital role in the success of every individual, however, education has

changed through time. Students nowadays experience a much faster pace than

students’ generations ago (Cordz, 2017). Students are often looked upon as the

building blocks of the society thus the present generation needs a competitive

advantage which includes their academic success among others. However, It is

evident that with the growing knowledge and fast pace of technology, the

students’ academic workload and academic stress are increasing and a

significant addition to this increasing stress is homework (Galloway, Conner &

Pope, 2013)As Cited by Pope (2013), busy world discourages learning and

tolerates doing homework to simply earn points

Student can experience having homework during weekends. The students can’t

blame the teachers in this scenario because in the first place, they don’t have

enough time to finish all the students activities that’s why the students have

an activity in home called “Homework”. One of the variables being scrutinized

is homework. How much to give, how often to give it and what it should in tail

are all the questions that researcher studying the homework achievement

relation.

The people all know the meaning of home work but for others, homework as a

lot of meaning. Homework is on way to increase the amount of time on task

and promote student success. The purpose of homework needs to be cleared to

all students so that they can understand how it will help the society to

succeed.

Perception is the organization, identification, and interpretation

of sensory information in order to represent and understand the presented

information, or the environment. Schacter, Daniel (2011). But according to

Goldstein (2009) perception involves signals that go through the nervous

system, which in turn result from physical or chemical stimulation of

the sensory system.

Assigning homework with a purpose means that through completing the

assignment, the student will be able to obtain new knowledge, a new skill, or

have a new experience that they may not otherwise have. Homework should

not consist of a rudimentary task that is being assigned simply for the sake of

assigning something. Homework should be meaningful. It should be viewed as

an opportunity to allow students to make real-life connections to the content

that they are learning in the classroom. It should be given only as an

opportunity to help increase their content knowledge in an area.

Homework is defined as the time students spend outside the classroom in

assigned learning activities. Anywhere Schools believes the purpose of

homework should be to practice, reinforce, or apply acquired skills and

knowledge. We also believe as research supports that moderate assignments

completed and done well are more effective than lengthy or difficult ones done
poorly. Homework serves to develop regular study skills and the ability to

complete assignments independently.

Homework is an opportunity for teachers to provide individualized instruction

geared specifically to an individual student. Anywhere Schools embraces the

idea that each student is different and as such, each student has their own

individual needs. We see homework as an opportunity to tailor lessons

specifically for an individual student meeting them where they are and bringing

them to where we want them to be. 

Title: Perception of Grade 11 students towards the No Homework Policy in

Mangaldan National High School S.Y. 2019-2020.

 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This study aims to determine the Perception of Grade 11 Students

toward the No Homework Policy in Mangaldan National High School S.Y. 2019-

2020

1. What are the opinions of the students about the NO HOMEWORK POLICY

DURING WEEKENDS?

2. Does the students comprehend about the NO HOMEWORK POLICY DURING

WEEKENDS?

3. What are the responds of the Student about the NO HOMEWORK POLICY

DURING WEEKENDS?

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

This study entitled Perception of Grade 11 students in Mangaldan

National High School towards the NO WORK POLICY. This research is limited

to the grade 11 students only.

The scope of this study is on Perception of Grade 11 students in

Mangaldan National High School towards the NO WORK POLICY. The mains
purpose is to identify the perception of the students if homework is necessary

to do during weekends. The study is conducted to the Grade 11 students of

S.Y. 2019-2020. This study aims to know if homework is necessary to do

during weekends.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The result of this study may be beneficial to the following:

TEACHERS. This research may help the teachers to be aware in giving

homework to their students during weekends and they will know any impacts

of giving a homework in the students.

STUDENTS. This research will help to enlighten the students about the no

homework policy during weekends. And the researchers may help the students

determine if homework is necessary to do during weekends.

PARENTS. This research may help the parents to be aware of the time that

they will spent with their children during weekends

THE RESEACHERS. The outcome of this research will be beneficial to the

neither present researchers or the future researchers. This study may be one of

the basis that a new theory in learning will rise.

DEFITION OF TERMS

Homework is a set of tasks assigned to students by their teachers to be

completed outside the class. Common homework assignments may include

required reading, a writing or typing project, mathematical exercises to be

completed, information to be reviewed before a test, or other skills to be

practiced.

Performance-The execution of an action; is completion of a task with

application of knowledge, skills and abilities

Time-the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition

exist or continues; Time is a component quantity of various measurements used

to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between

them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in

the conscious experience.

Students-These are the person who attends a school to study; s primarily a

person enrolled in a school or other educational institution who attends

classes in a course to attain the appropriate level of mastery of a subject under

the guidance of an instructor and who devotes time outside class to do

whatever activities the instructor assigns that are necessary either for class

preparation or to submit evidence of progress towards that mastery.

Parents these are the person who brings up and cares for another; is a

caregiver of the offspring in their own species. In humans, a parent is the

caretaker of a child (where "child" refers to offspring, not necessarily age).

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF THE RELATED LITERATURE

Homework contributes toward building responsibility, self-discipline, and

lifelong learning habits. It is the intention of the Anywhere School staff to

assign relevant, challenging, meaningful, and purposeful homework

assignments that reinforce classroom learning objectives. Homework should

provide students with the opportunity to apply and extend the information they

have learned complete unfinished class assignments, and develop

independence.

Homework has been identified in numerous studies and articles as a

dominant or significant source of stress and anxiety for students. Bauwens &

Hourcade (1992). But according to Bempechat (2004) says that homework

develops students' motivation and study skills. In a single study, parents and
teachers of middle school students believed that homework improved students'

study skills and personal responsibility skills.

Homework as defined by Cooper (1989), is “any task assigned to students

by school teachers that is meant to be carried out during non-school hours”

Means that students don’t need to study alone. Students have a teacher to

guide them, to give instruction what they are going to do in school. In student’s

home, Student’s don’t have a teacher beside them, sometimes the student’s

parents are busy in some important matter so they can’t help their children

when it comes to

Homework.

Keith (1982) defines homework as “the amount of time students spend in

studying outside of class”. This definition does not similar with the other

meaning because it does not describe

what homework is rather it describe on variable of homework, which is time

spent on completing it.

According to Trautwein & Köller (2003) among teenagers, students who

spend somewhat more time on homework generally have higher grades, and

somewhat higher test scores than students who spend less time on homework.

But according to Cooper, Robinson & Patall (2006) Very high amounts of

homework cause students' academic performance to worsen, even among older

students. Students who are assigned homework in middle and high school
score somewhat better on standardized tests, but the students who have 60 to

90 minutes of homework a day in middle school or more than two hours in

high school score worse.

According to Cheung & Leung-Ngai (1992).Studies on the relation

between homework and health are few compared to studies on academic

performance. Homework can cause tension and conflict in the home as well as

at school, and can reduce students' family and leisure time. In the Cheung &

Leung-Ngai (1992) survey, failure to complete homework and low grades where

homework was a contributing factor was correlated with greater conflict; some

students have reported teachers and parents frequently criticizing their work.

In the MetLife study, high school students reported spending more time

completing homework than performing home tasks. Kohn (2006) argued that

homework can create family conflict and reduce students' quality of life. The

authors of Sallee & Rigler (2008), both high school English teachers, reported

that their homework disrupted their students' extracurricular activities and

responsibilities. However, Kiewra et al. (2009) found that parents were less

likely to report homework as a distraction from their children's activities and

responsibilities. Galloway, Conner & Pope (2013) recommended further

empirical study relating to this aspect due to the difference between student

and parent observations.

Some educators argue that homework is beneficial to students, as it

enhances learning, develops the skills taught in class, and lets educators verify
that students comprehend their lessons. Proponents also argue that homework

makes it more likely that students will develop and maintain proper study

habits that they can use throughout their educational career.

Proponents claim that assigning homework to young children helps them

learn good study habits. Essentially, they advocate for doing potentially

unnecessary homework from approximately age five to ten as a way of

practicing for doing necessary homework from age 10 to 15. No research has

ever been conducted to determine whether this claim has any merit. Bazelon,

Emily (2006-09-14)

According to Harris Cooper (1989), there are the top 14 reasons why

homework is important. 1) It improves your child’s thinking and memory 2) It

helps your child develop positive study skills and habits that will serve him

orher well throughout life 3) Homework encourages your child to use time

wisely4) It teaches your child to work independently 5) Homework teaches your

childto take responsibility for his or her work 6) It allows your child to review

and practice what has been covered in class 7)It helps your child to get

ready for the next day’s class 8) Homework helps your child learn to use

resources, such aslibraries, reference materials, and computer Web sites to

find information 9) Itencourages your child to explores subjects more fully than

classroom time permits10) It allows your child to extend learning by applying

skills to new situations. 11) It helps your child integrate learning by applying

many different skills to asingle task, such as book reports or

science projects12) Howework helps parents learn more about what your child

is learning inschool13) It allows parents to communicate about what he or she

is learning14) It encourages parents to spark your child’s enthusiasm.

“Therefore, no homework/assignment shall be given during the weekends

for pupils to enjoy their childhood, and spend quality time with their

parents without being burdened by the thoughts of doing a lot of homework,”

Luistro (2010) In his explanation, Luistro said that many parents have been

complaining about not being able to spend quality time with their children

during the weekends because of too much homework.

A recent study led by an Indian University professor found that

traditional homework assignments won’t improve a student’s grades but could

boost standardized test scores. (Adam Maltese 2002)

Homework research dates back to the early 1900s. However, no

consensus exists on the general effectiveness on homework. Trautwein & Köller

(2003) Results of homework studies vary based on multiple factors, such as the

age group of those studied and the measure of academic performance.

Galloway, Conner & Pope (2013) surveyed 4,317 high school students

from ten high-performing schools, and found that students reported spending

more than 3 hours on homework daily. 72% of the students reported stress

from homework, and 82% reported physical symptoms. The students slept an
average of 6 hours 48 minutes, lower than the recommendations prescribed by

various health agencies.

A study done at the University of Michigan in 2007 concluded that the

amount of homework given is increasing. In a sample taken of students

between the ages of 6 and 9 years, it was shown that students spend more

than 2 hours a week on homework, as opposed to 44 minutes in 1981.

A 2007 study of American students by MetLife found that 89% of

students felt stressed from homework, with 34% reporting that they "often" or

"very often" felt stressed from homework. Stress was especially evident among

high school students. Students that reported stress from homework were more

likely to be deprived of sleep. Markow, Amie & Margot (2007).

Historically, homework was frowned upon in American culture. With few

students able to pursue higher education, and with many children and

teenagers needing to dedicate significant amounts of time to chores and

farmwork, homework was disliked not only by parents, but also by some

schools. The students' inability to keep up with the homework, which was

largely memorizing an assigned text at home, contributed to students dropping

out of school at a relatively early age. Attending school was not legally required,

and if the student could not spend afternoons and evenings working on

homework, then the student could quit school. Onion, Rebecca (2019-10-04).
  The positive effects of homework were related to certain age groups of

students. Highschool students benefited more from homework than did

younger students. This could be because younger students were more easily

distracted, and/or had not developed positive studyhabits (Cooper 1989b;

Hoover-Dempsey et al., 2001; Leone & Richards, 1989; Muhlenbruck,Cooper,

Nye, & Lindsay, 2000). Homework did not benefit students academically below

highschool age (Cooper, 1989b; Queensland Department of Education and the

Arts, 2004).

Moreover, researchers seemed to agree that homework reflected various

purposes (Brock,Lapp, Flood, Fisher, & Han, 2007; Cooper et al., 2006; Corno

& Xu, 2004; Epstein & VanVoorhis, 2001; Gill & Schlossman, 2003;

Muhlenbruck et al., 2000; Warton, 2001). Epstein and Van Voorhis (2001)

identified ten purposes for doing homework. They included

practice, preparation, participation, personal development, parent child

relations, parent Voorhis(2004), who worked with teachers for a long time,

further categorized these purposes into threegroups: instructional (i.e., the first

four purposes), communicative (i.e., the next three purposes),and political (i.e.,

the final three purposes). Taking a slightly different prospective, Cooper et al.

(2006) indicated that homework purposes could be classified into two broad

categories which were instructional and non-instructional. The instructional

category included review, practice, preparation, extension, and integration. On

the other hand, the non-instructional category included communication

between parent and child, fulfilling directives from school administrators,

public relation, and punishing students. Parents and teachers always identified

and perceived these various purposes of homework as important (Cooper et al.,

2006; Xu, 2005

Homework policy is under the DepEd Memorandum No. 392 s.

2010.Many people are arguing and debating if no homework policy should be

published in the Philippines. Homework or assignments have been part of

pupil’s lives in their schooling. Common homework/assignment may include a

period of reading to be done and writing to be completed, problems to be solved

and projects to be worked on, among others. The purpose of which is for

the pupils toin crease their knowledge and improve their abilities and skills.

House Bill 388, teachers are prohibited from giving assignments to their

students if they will be done during weekends (Saturday and Sunday).

According to the proponent of this measure, homework has negative effects on

children in other countries because it takes the time that is supposed to be

allotted for their families.  

HB No. 3883, which seeks to eliminate homework on weekends for all

elementary and high school students.  Seeks to “promote and protect the

physical, moral, spiritual, intellectual, and social well-being of the youth.” This

is so that students can “enjoy their free time from the precisions of school
during weekends and to be able to have a quality time with their family and

friends.”

Homework is also prohibited in HB 3611 for the health of the children.

According to the proponent, because of homework, children always insist on

bringing their books home, which are heavy to carry. Aside from banning

homework, it is also stated in the proposal that classrooms must have lockers

installed for the children to place their books.

House Bill (HB) No. 3611, which seeks to remove homework as a

requirement and have Kinder to Grade 12 students do academic activities

solely within school premises. The bill also seeks to prohibit students from

taking textbooks home in order to “lighten the physical burden of

schoolchildren,” who, Escudero said, often have to carry heavy bags due to

schoolwork that has to be done beyond the school. This will apply to Kinder to

Grade 6 students.

The secretary of the Department of Education supports these proposals,

with the belief that there are times when children don’t do their homework. The

secretary even added that DepEd even encourages teachers not to give their

students homework for the same reasons enumerated in the proposed

measures.
 However, for the Alliance of Concerned Teachers or ACT, it is impossible

for teachers not to give students homework under the K to 12 basic education

program. The context and scope of the current curriculum is deliberately

comprehensive, and the time spent in school is not enough for the children to

learn what they are supposed to learn. For the Teachers’ Dignity Coalition,

homework should not be seen as a way to torture students. The continuous

learning of children outside school is important for them to have discipline and

to learn to be responsible.

The two sides have valid points. On one side, there are negative effects of

taking home school-related work, especially if it takes time away from the

children that need to rest, help in household chores, or rob them of their play

time. On the other side, homework helps sharpen the learning process of

children. In the end, children’s education—whether inside or outside the school

—cannot be measured alone by their ability to finish assignments. Teachers

help mold the children, but their basic physical, educational and

spiritual formation rest exclusively with their parents.

Much like what Pope Francis said in Amoris Laetitia, teaching children is

the most serious duty of parents and their primary right. According to 2

Corinthians 12:14, “Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not

be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After

all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their

children,” and this saving up is accompanied by teaching children right. Thus,

schools should be helping parents to achieve their duties to their children.

Which is why, if the children are home, with or without homework, the parents

have to ensure that their children are well-rested, are taught discipline through

caring ways, and still learn from anything they are doing outside school.

 CHAPTER V

SUMMARY, CONCLUISION AND RECOMMENDATIONS

In this chapter looks at the summary, conclusion, and recommendation

Summary

Homework is defined as the time students spend outside the classroom

in assigned learning activities. Anywhere Schools believes the purpose of

homework should be to practice, reinforce, or apply acquired skills and

knowledge.

The study focused on the Perception of Grade 11 in Mangaldan National

High School towards the No Homework Policy, using phenomenology research

design particularly the naturalistic approach informed consent was obtained

prior to each interview sessions that join the interviews were told that the

participants voluntary and the data collected would be used for academic

purposes only
 An interview guide was used in discussion regard the participant about

the Perception of Grade 11 students Towards the No Homework Policy,

interviews were conducted on the month of February 2020.

Conclusion

Based on the data gathered, the following conclusion we formulate. Grade

11 students of Mangaldan National High School don’t want to have a

homework during weekends. And according to the result of the interview, the
