Discussion:

The topic I have chosen for my Action Research Proposal is to find out why many of my students are not doing their homework. As a mathematics teacher, I know that homework is a vital part of students' understanding of new concepts; however, many of my students do not do their homework, even my Pre-AP Algebra II students. I want to research the factors that contribute to students not doing their homework (e.g. home life, extracurricular activities, sheer laziness, does not know how to do it, etc) and why they feel it is not an essential tool to their learning. I also want to research what teachers are currently doing and what they can do to reverse this trend (e.g. Are teachers assigning too much homework? Is it relevant to what was learned in class? Are teachers giving enough time for students to complete an assignment?) Finally, I want to determine any motivational strategies teachers can implement to get students to do their homework regularly. here.
