[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Homework study

[Lesley Farmer]

Homework may not boost all students' test scoresMore math homework may
help top students as well as those who struggle, but average students
may reap less benefit from additional assignments when it comes to
improving test scores in the subject, according to a new study. Only
roughly 40% of students who were observed in the study would benefit in
a significant way from an additional hour per night of homework, the
researchers concluded.Henderson, D., & Eren, O. (2008). The impact of
homework on student achievement. Econometrics Journal, 11(2), 326-348.
