1.What is the purpose of the study?

The thesis was designed as a qualitative quest relevant to the assigned homeworks in

science and technology courses in order to explore the students' perspectives.

2.What are the research questions? (May be explicit or implicit)

(1) What does the homework imply for you? Please clarify;

(2) What kinds of tasks are used in science and technology homework?

(3) What types of activities would you like to see in science and technology homework?

Please explain why;

(4) What problems do you face while doing homework for science and technology

courses?

(5) What are the contributions of assigned homeworks in science and technology

courses?
3.Who are the participants and where is the research site?

Participants include 1539 7th and 8th grade students from nine primary schools in

Osmaniye's city center that are supervised by the Ministry of Education's Department of

Education.

4.How were the data collected through a qualitative approach?

In this work, the case of science pattern (phenomenology) was used which is one of the
