Chapter One
 INTRODUCTION
• The researchers were struck by the heating issue
about banning homework within the country,
Philippines, recently last year, 2019 and this
happened to be one of the reasons of the
researchers to find out on why a great number of
people, specifically parents, dwelled so much on
their reactions about it.
 • The researchers decided to pursue on this research
due to other several reasons namely as: to know the
perceptions of the pupils’ parents in consideration to
their suggestions, comments, their problems faced
because of homework, and to find out their say if
homework develops the learning of their child or if it
only diminishes it and so through their answers on a
survey the researchers made, they would be able to
know on why they react greatly upon it.

Introduction
 • The researchers conducted this research to find
different ways on how to solve the problem of
homework within the Philippines through the
perceptions of the parents.

• Lastly but most significantly, to be able to determine if

the pupils’ parents in La Salle University Integrated
School agree or disagree of the congress’ proposed bill.

The Perceptions of Parents towards No
Homework Policy Bill
 CLOSENESS OF
RELATIONSHIPS

Stated in Pascual’s article in the year 2019:

Homework has been a problem in other countries
because it gives negative effects on children.
It takes away the time supposed to be spent for
their families.

 CLOSENESS OF
RELATIONSHIPS

According to a research of Coulson in the year 2014:

Homework escalates family quarrel.

Supported by Pressman and team, year 2015:

Homework increases parents’ stress and tension. They often
felt impotent to help with the homework of their child
and it often resulted to quarrel between them.

Literature
 CLOSENESS OF
RELATIONSHIPS
According to Druker in the year 2017:
Children need to spend more time with their family, talk
with their friends and do more extracurricular
activities to freshen up their minds and well-being.
However, children would not be able to keep up with
these due to their heavy loads of homework.

Kralovec and Buell stated in the year 2001:

It resulted that homework decreases family involvement
and social participation.

 Closeness of Relationships
Positive Side:
According to Waldman in the year 2018:
A data acquired from a nationwide sample of grade school learners
shows that there is a progress of performance in class
especially to the economically poor African-American and
Hispanic learners if there is a parental involvement in
homework.

According to the book of Acock and Demo in the year 1994:

Homework is absolutely relevant because it can help strengthen
the bond between them and it brings them closer together to
enjoy and communicate which helps improve relationship between
the parent and the learner.

Literature
 Leisure for Enjoyment
A survey conducted at Science Leadership Academy in
Philadelphia shows that 16 out of 19 of the learners
acknowledged that homework take away the time allotted
for them to do the things they are encouraged to do such
as sports, extracurricular activities, etc.

In the year 2014, Coulson claimed:

Homework diminishes the children’s time for other
activities because doing variant activities give
diversity and equality to a child’s life. Therefore,
children should engage themselves in sports, art, music,
or to take a rest and relax or just simply live a life
being a child.

 Leisure for Enjoyment

Positive Side:

Druker in the year 2017 stated that:

Free-time take part an important role in stimulating the
emotional growth and creativity of a child – components
to a lifelong success which are as important as
education itself.

Literature
 Type of Homework Given
According to Rosário et al., in the year 2015:
There are three different types of educational homework
purposes, namely as extension, preparation, and practice.

As claimed in the article of Weir, year 2016:

The quality of homework or assignments should be considered.

Supported by Spencer in the year 2017:

A purposeful homework is naturally linked or connected to quality
homework, and every time educators are giving homework they
should highlight the objective focusing on this rather than
quantity.

Literature
 Type of Homework Given

According to Levy in the year 2019:

Research shows that several pupils are unchangingly receiving
heavy amounts of homework than what experts recommend.

A research of Dews in the year 2014 highlighted that:

In the last 20 years, there was only an increased of homework in
the lower grade levels which resulted to nonpartisan and
sometimes negative effects on student accomplishment.

Literature
 Type of Homework Given

However, according to Shepard in the year 1999:

Grade school learners gain increased grades and positive
results on the learners’ report cards when they were
taught about strategies to classify and accomplish
homework like gathering study matters, following
directions, jotting down notes and prioritizing
activities with regard to homework.

Literature
 Preponderance of Time
Management
Pressman et al. discovered from their research
in the year 2015:

First and second grades acquire 28 to 29 minutes of

homework every night while kindergarteners acquire 25
minutes doing homework every night as well, on average.
However, it contradicts to the standards of National
Education Association (NEA) and National PTA (NPTA) which
stated that they should not have homework at all.

Literature
 Preponderance of Time
Management
According to Onzain in the year 2005:
Homework discourages pupils to enjoy being kids.
Onzain also claimed that:
Young elementary learners, specifically the youngest ones,
should spend all their holiday time and nightfall to
perform a lot of physical activities, playing outside the
house and interact with friends through playing sports.
Onzain also stated that:
Young learners receive elementary school homework which
foreshortens their hours for sleeping.

 Preponderance of Time
Management

On the contrary, Lester claimed on an article:

Homework trains children to manage their time wisely and
learn to formulate schedules which are very applicable and
advantageous skills to attain when they enter senior high
school years, tertiary education and eventually at a
workplace.
