The research can be viewed through the Cognitive Load Theory (CLT) developed

and introduced by Sweller (1988). The theory discusses the three types of cognitive

load: Intrinsic load, extraneous load, and germane load. In terms of overwhelming

homework assignments experienced by students, the mental load theory can be

viewed through.

Firstly, the intrinsic load refers to the complexity and criticality of the studied

concept or problem. In the case of overwhelming homework assignments

experienced by students, the inherent load may be high due to the quality, quantity,

and complexity of the tasks or works that need to be accomplished. This may lead to

students feeling burdened and overwhelmed.

Secondly, the extraneous load refers to the unnecessary factors contributing

to the student's cognitive load. This includes unclear instructions or ineffective

teaching methods. For instance, when a student faces overwhelming homework

assignments that have no or unclear instructions, the extraneous load on the

resources may increase, which makes it more difficult for the students to process and

accomplish the homework assignments effectively.

On the other hand, the germane load refers to the cognitive effort used to

comprehend and apply what has been learned. In the case of overwhelming

homework assignments experienced by students, the germane load may be

decreased due to the excessive amount that the memory was working on. When

students' working memory gets overwhelmed by multiple tasks and the collected

data, it can be challenging to think deeply and apply what they have comprehended

effectively.

In terms of fundamental psychological needs that students should have to

enhance their motivation and overall academic experience towards overwhelming

homework assignments, the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) that was developed

and introduced by Deci and Ryan (1985) is a great theory to be viewed through. By

having this theory we can deeply comprehend and help improve students' ability and

critical thinking towards overwhelming homework assignments. The theory discusses

the three fundamental psychological needs that a person should have: Competence,

autonomy, and relatedness.

Firstly, competence refers to the necessity to feel effective and capable in the

surrounding environment; it's all about gaining mastery over the given tasks. In the

context of overwhelming homework assignments, students' sense of competence

may weaken as it can be challenging to have an excessive amount of homework

assignments. To enhance students' competence, educators may ensure the tasks

that were given are appropriately challenging, consider the students' skill level, and

also provide instructional materials that are clear and easy to understand.

On the other hand, autonomy refers to the necessity to feel in control over

the actions and decision-making; it's all about having the freedom to choose and

make decisions in the surrounding environment independently. Fostering students'

autonomy, educators may involve their students in negotiating about the deadlines or

even allowing them to select the topic for their homework assignment.

Lastly, relatedness refers to the sense of belongingness and connection with

those that surround us; it's all about the feeling of being understood by others. In

terms of overwhelming homework assignments, students' relatedness was shown by

those who support them, like their family members, friends, educators, etc., in

tackling their homework assignments. This creates an environment where students

feel comfortable expressing their concerns and seeking help regarding overwhelming

homework assignments.

Significance of the Study

 It is significant and relevant to conduct this phenomenological

research on those students who experienced overwhelming homework assignments.

The proposal has immense social significance as this can be a scholarly basis for the

improvement of students’ development towards academic learning. Through this

study, relevant and effective teaching method can be made to gear educators in

providing advance and useful knowledge and skill for the benefit of students. Hence,

upon writing this research work, beneficiaries were highly considered and prioritize in

this academic undertaking.

Educators

Educators play a vital role in shaping students’ academic learning

experiences. They’re not only providing knowledge and wisdom but also to guide,

inspire, and nurture their learners. Educators are the only authorities who can change

the system of teaching method to appropriately considers students’ skill level, which

greatly impact students’ academic and personal growth. They can benefit from this

by having insight on what consider in terms of having an effective teaching method

towards their students.

Parents

Parents also play a crucial role on the education and the development of

their children. By giving encouragement, and supporting them all throughout their

journey, children might felt love and cared, which give them motivation to pursue their

academic journey. Communication, guidance, and ensuring child’s educational needs

are also one of the vital role that a parents should have. They can benefit from this by

having them an insight on what would be the best practices to aid students’

challenges in terms of their academic learning.

Students

Students may benefits from the said study by having them an idea on how to

improve their overall academic learning experiences. It may also help them manage
to reduce stress levels related to overwhelming homework assignments. It can also

help them increase their motivation and involvement on the academic learning

process. Lastly, students may achieve appropriate amount of homework assignments

that considers their skills’ level.
