Evolution of Homework

Evolution of Homework explores the surprisingly complex history of homework, from its rare origins to its current, almost universal presence in education. It examines the changing pedagogical philosophies that have shaped homework, highlighting how cultural and societal shifts have influenced its practice. The book delves into whether homework's implementation is effective and equitable, providing a critical context to assess its role and future in education.

The book is structured to guide readers through this history, beginning with the earliest known uses of homework and their rationales, then detailing its expansion during industrialization. It addresses challenges to homework that arose during the progressive education movement and subsequent debates about workload and educational effectiveness.

Contemporary research into homework and its links to academic performance, student well-being, and equity are also explored. This book differentiates itself by providing a historical analysis combined with a review of contemporary research, challenging readers to reconsider their preconceived notions about homework. It avoids simply advocating for or against homework, instead offering a fact-based, nuanced perspective relevant to educators, policymakers, and parents.
