This occurs across all grade levels for both high and low achievers.Parents can maximize the benefit of homework for your child when you understand the purpose of it and the values it engenders.家庭作业有助学习成绩研究表明花在家庭作业上的时间直接影响一个孩子的学习成绩。那些一直完成家庭作业的孩子比那些不做家庭作业的孩子在学习上取得的成绩更好。学生们通过完成家庭作业可以在所有的科目上取得进步。这种现象在各年级中都有出现，无论学生的学习能力强还是弱。家长理解家庭作业的目的和其价值后可以最大限度的帮助孩子从中获益。The Seven Hidden Values of Homework1. Responsibility: Homework is the childs responsibility. When parents get too involved they deny the child the opportunity to take responsibility. The homework task may get done but the real lessons do not get learned.2. Independence: Because this is the first time that someone other than a parent assigns frequent tasks to the child, homework breaks new ground. How this golden opportunity is handled will enhance or detract from the childs progress toward self-direction.3. Perseverance: There is no point to a child doing homework, if every time the gets frustrated, parents step right in and take over. It is alright to let the child struggle a little with a problem or task.4. Time management: Children need to be told when to finish homework, not when to start it. That way, instead of learning to waste time, the child learns to manage it efficiently.5. Initiative: Like a muscle, the ability to be a self-starter strengthens with exercise. For this reason, it is essential that the child decides when it is time to begin each homework assignment.6. Self-reliance: Homework can affirm a childs feeling of I CAN DO IT! If homework is mismanaged, it destroys that feeling. Unfortunately, there is no in-between.7. Resourcefulness: The ability to be inventive in the face of problems is the very essence of being human. Homework encourages students to use lateral thinking, problem solving and other coping mechanisms, equipping them to meet the demands of the adult world.家庭作业的7大秘密1. 责任感：家庭作业是孩子的责任。如果家长替孩子完成作业，那么家长就剥夺了孩子承担责任的机会，同时这样做也仅仅是完成作业本身而已，真正的知识孩子没有学到。2. 独立性：对于孩子来说，这可能是第一次家长以外的人给他们布置作业，家庭作业可能是非常新奇的事情。如何引导孩子认识家庭作业可以给他们以后的进步带来帮助也可以让他们向错误的方向发展。3. 坚持力：如果每次孩子遇到困难家长就帮孩子解决掉，那么家庭作业就没有任何意义了。让孩子自己尽力去解决问题会比较合适。4. 管理时间：我们应该告诉孩子何时完成作业，而不是何时开始做作业。这样，孩子就会学会如何有效使用时间而不是学会浪费时间。5. 自发性：自发性就像肌肉一样，越锻炼就越强。所以，培养孩子能够自己决定应该什么时候开始做作业的能力是非常关键的。6. 自信度：家庭作业能够强化孩子“我能做到！”这种感觉。如果家庭作业安排不合理，那么也可以伤害孩子的这种自信。基本上没有介于这两者之间的情况。7. 适应力：对于人类而言，碰到困难的时候是否具有能力找到新的解决方法是非常重要的。家庭作业可以培养孩子突破思维定势的思考能力，问题的解决能力和其他适应性能力，这些可以帮助他们以后更好的适应成年人的世界。SECTION TWO第二部分Building good study habits养成良好的学习习惯Getting startedDevelop a homework system. Find a time, place and plan that becomes as routine as soon as possible. Make study a part of this daily routine: teach your child to pace their study, rather than cramming at the last minute.
