Teaching and research go hand in hand. Teachers study and discuss research every day in their classes. In the future when I\u2019m a teacher I will be researching information that I can integrate into my lessons and then studying and discussing it with my students.<\/p>\n
There is a debate on whether or not students should be given homework. After doing some research of my own I believe that most homework should simply be work that did not get completed in class. Since I am an English Education major and plan on teaching at the high school level I understand that it is necessary to assign a certain level of homework. For example, papers are a necessary assignment because it is my job to teach my students how to write critically. However, it is not necessary to assign a two page paper every week. Instead, four papers per year is sufficient enough to teach the student the skills that they need and for the students to improve upon those skills. The homework that would be assigned on a day-to-day basis would be reading parts of a book that the class did not finish during class.<\/p>\n
The reason I think homework should be limited is because too much of it can be detrimental to a student since many have extracurricular activities. According to Natalie Wolchover in her article, Too Much Homework is Bad for Kids<\/em>, \u201cdata shows that in countries where more time is spent on homework, students score lower on a standardized test called the Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA\u201d. The article also talks about how\u00a0the study came to the same conclusions about students who spend more time on their homework. There are many more studies out there like this that prove giving students a lot of homework does not improve their grades and ability to master the subject, and in fact more homework can have a negative impact on the students\u2019 work.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Citations<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Hinchey, Pat.
