Impact of Revising of Curriculum about Homework in Elementary School Grade Students in their Study Habits
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Education is a systematic and scientific process of providing knowledge, skills and

experiences to develop a human force as per requirements of society. This is
accomplished by using different methods and resources at different levels of education for
different stakeholders like students, teachers, parents, administrators and others so, that every
individual of the society be equipped with the desired change in behavior to be social, cultural,
sympathetic and helpful to the other members of society and for the nation.
Educational institution is an important component of the system, where key role is

played by the teachers. Teacher is the personality who initiates all curriculum related activities,
motivate students to participate and learn from them and also help them to use the newly
acquired knowledge and skills in practical situations. Teachers fulfill their obligations with
sincere efforts in order to develop the youth of the nation to their full potential.
Homework has been criticized by a lot because of the effects somehow on self-
Management skills and Study habits of the Learners and some percentage in different countries
that says no to homework is a majority that it may come up that Students could possibly reduce
study interest and however based on experts and minority of the previous surveys that homework
could help to increase self-management skills and study habits when done right.
In a recent international comparison of the amount of time that students spend on

homework, students from the United States ranked near the bottom of the 20 countries surveyed
(Harmon et al. 1997). Furthermore, research indicates that over the last 25 years high school
students have decreased the amount of homework that they complete (Brookings Institution
2003). Nonetheless, there is a popular conception that students are being assigned too much
homework. One key empirical question that underlies the homework debate is how much benefit
students receive from time spent studying.
Homework The Homework is born in year 1905 founded by Roberto Nevelis and later
revised by Horace Mann who has played a large in history of homework that has a love and
dedication in Education that he make the homework mandatory in every school for them to learn
outside the classroom to maintain their knowledge and enlightened learners to understand who
cannot yet demonstrate the previous topic or lesson that been taught during the class.
It is said that homework is designed to use as penalties for the student or learner that
couldn’t or unable to demonstrate the previous lesson and topic that been taught in schools for
them to apply and keep up to those learners who were able to present or demonstrate the topic
clearly.
Even though homework still had its advantage when it comes to building the study habits
of Elementary Learners in their early childhood but also has the disadvantages like it gives extra
work load for the learners.
It is Said to take over the children’s time to do physical activities or other curriculum that
could honed their skills. Most Parents and Educators are in debate on centuries if Homework
Curriculum does leverage the benefit the Advantage over the Disadvantages of it in learners
Study Habits.
Although Homework Curriculum has many Positive side like those helping the student to
apply their knowledge from the previous lesson and topic that been discussed or prepare them for
the next one but long duration Homework causes elementary learner grade student felt stressed
over the task given and may give a larger toll in their Study Habits.
Homework had a lot of Pros but it is said to cause too much unnecessary pressure or
stress to Elementary Learners, that takes away their time for them relax or refresh, Not always
effective, and may last a long duration of time that can last an hour or more that might cause
more than the benefits to help.
However, Expert suggested elementary learners should take homework for them to
applied what the curtained benefits of homework only the condition in short amount of duration
time for them not to cause curtained stress and pressure.
The purpose of this study is aimed to help to find out the efficient way of revising of
curriculum for homework for Elementary Grade Learning and find out the impact on Elementary
Grade Learner.
