Supervision of Homework Activities in Mbire District Primary Schools
Open accessAbstract
The aim of this study was to assess how teachers in the primary schools of Mbire District were using homework to augment their classroom activities.The population comprised of all the 130 primary schools in the district with an estimated teacher population of 3500 teachers.Random sampling was employed to select a sample of 200 teachers and 20 heads of schools.The study employed the quantitative methodology and adopted the descriptive survey design.All the data were gathered by use of a questionnaire which had both open-ended and close-ended questions.The study revealed that primary schools in Mbire District were not assigning adequate homework activities to pupils as expected.Pupils also faced problems of resources to effectively do their homework activities.The study recommends that teachers should assign homework regularly so that pupils understand that it is as important as work they do in the classroom.The study also recommends that heads of schools should encourage provision of resources for use by their children when they are doing homework.

In the citing paper
“Some previous studies [13, 14] found a negative but significant association with students’ performance, thus confirming [15] evaluation that, in most cases, parental help with and supervision of their students’ home activities had little effect on their academic results.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
