| description | Homework is often viewed as a crucial part of learning as it enhances children’s academic performance. Yet
only a few studies to date have focussed specifically on the perceptions of parents regarding the importance of homework.
Thus, this paper discusses the results of a study that sought to investigate a group of parents’ perceptions on the importance of
homework within the Malaysian setting. Using a questionnaire survey containing the ways how parents get involved with their
children’s homework, the parents’ perceptions with regard to the importance of homework were inferred. Findings suggest
that parents show keen support towards homework, indicated through the responses of parental involvement they offer their
children. A high percentage of parents view homework as important in all the three aspects: provision of structure, direct
involvement, and autonomy support |
