“…With the development of technology, web-based homework has become more popular among teachers, with online platforms such as Blackboard, WebCT (www.webct.com), Homework Service (https://hw.utexas. edu/bur/overview.html), WebWorK, Study Island, and PowerSchool (Mendicino et al, 2009), as these allow students to do their homework online, and teachers to give feedback to students immediately (Callahan, 2016;Lucas, 2012;Mendicino et al, 2009). Therefore, in this systematic review, homework also includes online tasks performed outside the school.…”

This review will synthesize the results from publications focused on homework time and academic performance, and estimate the relationship between the two. Our objectives are: (1) To identify the extent of the relationship between homework time and students' academic performance; (2) To analyze the differences in the effectiveness of homework time across genders, grades, subject and regions; and (3) To identify the potential factors that affect homework time, such as academic subject, task difficulty, type of homework, mode of homework, parental involvement, and feedback on homework.

“…Achievement provides a pathway to graduation and to career entry and success (e.g., Hwang et al, 2014). In particular, for STEM fields that require in-depth scientific and technological knowledge and expertise, academic achievement supports young people’s career progression (e.g., Callahan, 2016). Without achieving academically, young people may not qualify for graduate school programs, internships, or initial occupational entry.…”

Native Americans are highly underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers; however, little research exists concerning how to promote Native Americans’ participation in STEM. In this study, we address this gap by examining variables hypothesized to promote participation using the career self-management (CSM) model among Native American college students with STEM career goals. Results of stepwise regressions demonstrated that academic achievement along with the problem-solving aspects of career self-management (CSM) self-efficacy and instrumental assistance from parents, peers, and others in students’ schools and communities predicts clearer, more specific, and more personally congruent goals; and that these goals along with self-efficacy and instrumental assistance predict career exploration. Contrary to hypotheses, neither STEM outcome expectations nor gender was related to goals or exploration. These findings suggest that CSM can be used to guide research regarding the STEM career development of Native American college students.

“…Several studies have sought to evaluate the impact of automated systems quantitatively by analyzing examination grades, cost effectiveness, and passing rates (e.g., Callahan 2016;Jonsdottir, Bjornsdottir, and Stefansson 2017;Kodippili and Senaratne 2008;Potocka 2010). Krupa, Webel, and McManus (2015) compared the impact of computer-based (CB) and face-to-face (F2F) instruction in an intermediate college algebra course.…”

Online learning environments are being used for teaching and learning of mathematics at university level. Exploiting the potential of digital technology, these Internet-based environments administer computer-generated homework, assistance and feedback for students. This article presents a case-study of a small group of ִ undergraduate engineering students' learning activity in mathematics in an online environment. The study focuses on students' interactions with the online environment to make sense of the affordances of this environment. Utilizing multiple sources of data aid in analyzing the intentional and the operational aspects of students' interactions with several resources in this environment. With regard to both of these aspects, the affordances are thus viewed as features of the environment which support students' engagement with the mathematical tasks. The analyses show that the students incorporated several online resources for solving the tasks posed in the automated system. Students met requirements of final answers in the automated system through varying sequences of mathematical operations for the posed tasks. The conditions of the automated system as well as the rules of the collective activity system played a role in students' interactions with the mathematical tasks.
