Homework has always been considered as one of the important factors in the realization of learning and in each period, in accordance with the perception of learning, the form and type of task has been different. Perhaps in the past, if a student simply succeeded in preserving in his mind, he would have thought that learning had taken place in him. But today, with the definition of learning, there is an expectation of goals beyond that. One of the common variables about learning is the following: "Learning is a change that occurs in a person's ability and lasts for a while and can not be simply attributed to the acquired growth processes." [1]
For this reason, homework is used as an exercise for learning and ability, and homework refers to those learning activities that are determined for students to do outside of the classroom and school in classroom learning. .
Hundreds of studies have been done on homework and its role in academic success. For example, this research dates back to ninety years ago, and they generally consider homework as an integral part of learning. Studies of the opinions of teachers, students, and professional parents in recent years show that they all believe that homework helps students achieve better grades. Dr. Ali Akbar Seif is one of the experts who finds homework useful. He believes in the importance and role of homework in learning:
"The learning department should be done in the classroom and extracurricular activities should complement the learning and school activities. In some cases, the explanations given in class are sufficient for some students to learn, but for others they may not be so and therefore require more practice and review. The student helped him in this matter "(Seif, 1374)
Night homework is one of the tasks that has been common for students in countries since the establishment of public schools, mainly to complete school education and sometimes as a means to achieve other educational goals such as self-employment, growth, responsibility, study habits. Is.
Today, due to the evolution of societies with the emergence of educational theories and the existence of media that is dedicated to students' leisure time, the necessity of homework in many countries has been questioned and other ways to fill the leisure time of children and adolescents at home Becomes.
In some societies, including Iran, the night owl still retains its traditional and valuable status, and since different groups are involved, this issue is still a topic of the day and a wide range of thoughts and It contains different and sometimes contradictory ideas. Homework is so intertwined with the fabric of our country's education system that it is impossible for many of us to imagine school without homework. Homework as an activity that involved students and their parents has been viewed from different and even conflicting perspectives.
Proponents argue that if the necessary care is taken in determining the type of homework, and if the process is carefully evaluated, not only does it not interfere with school learning but it is a good continuation for it. Opponents of this activity have mostly considered its inappropriate executive status, both at the stage of assigning tasks and at the stages of implementation and evaluation, as a reason for the futility of this activity. Despite this role, homework is undeniable as a link between home and school, and homework can be used as a means of communication between parents and students and teachers.
