Homework Does Matter, Niang Hatlangh

Andrews University Teaching and Learning Conference

Homework has become a debatable topic as some schools have begun to question if homework is an important part of education. Some say that homework is a form of practice and makes students better learners. Others argue that homework is an unneeded pressure and does not impact student learning. This poster will explore the issues of homework and if there may be benefits to limiting time or possibly doing away with the practice of homework.

An Investigation Of Mathematics Self-Efficacy, The Sources Of Mathematics Self-Efficacy, And Mathematics Achievement Among Primary School Students In Trinidad And Tobago, Ronald Sinanan

Dissertations

Purpose of the Study

This dissertation addressed two problems in the literature. Firstly, while many study findings have highlighted the critical role of self-efficacy in students' achievement, additional research was needed about the four hypothesized sources that influence the improvement of students' mathematics self-efficacy. Many studies on self-efficacy sources were conducted with measures not closely tied to social cognitive theory and have not demonstrated sufficient reliability. Using the Sources of Mathematics SelfEfficacy Scale, Usher and Pajares (2009) addressed this problem. They suggested several recommendations for future research (Usher & Pajares, 2008b, 2009), including exploring the validity of their scale in …
