“…If the purpose of homework is explicit for students, they will consider the assignment as a meaningful activity in which they explore and improve their knowledge. Therefore, when homework is meaningful to students, their compliance with doing it will relatively increase (Tompkins, 2002). A meaningful homework is work that focuses on learning domains which students are experiencing (Tompkins).…”

“…These attitudes could be whether the teacher was enthusiastic, supportive or curious in student's performance. Children know their teachers' attitudes in reviewing their homework; therefore, such attitudes will influence their products (Tompkins, 2002). Positive attitudes in reviewing homework accelerate student's compliance with doing homework which leads in improving his learning levels.…”

“…There are several factors that impact students' desires for completing their homework. According to Tompkins (2002), students' compliance in doing homework is basically determined by several aspects such as explicit meaning and reason for doing homework and clear procedures and descriptions of the homework. Giving descriptive directions for doing the homework explains to the child the requirements of that work (Jenson, et al, 2010).…”

The emergence of technology has ameliorated various fields in education. Technological applications are being adopted by several schools to facilitate students' learning. Teachers are using such products to pave the way for more effective teaching practices. In addition, these technological applications are utilized by parents to increase their children's positive behaviors. IPad and its educational application programs are effective tools for increasing elementary students' compliance with doing the reading homework. One of these applications is Book Creator in which individuals can create children's interactive stories. These interactive stories make the reading homework an interesting assignment, and therefore students' compliance with doing homework is likely increasing. This paper describes the importance of compliance with reading homework for students whose English is their second language. In addition, this paper discusses how interactive reading books promote compliance with homework completion. The study was conducted using a single subject withdrawal design.

Homework assignments are an indispensable part of cognitive-behavioural therapy. During the past two decades, a growing number of studies have shed light on its characteristics and effects. However, most studies primarily consider the therapists' view, and little is known about the use of supportive strategies to implement homework assignments in psychotherapy and about patients' attitudes towards regular assignments. To fill this gap, we assessed the attitudes towards homework assignments of 80 outpatients. In addition, those who had received a task during the past session (75%) were asked to report characteristics of their task as well as therapists' behaviour strategies during the assignment of the task. One week later, therapists rated the extent of completion of the task. Results showed that the patients generally had a positive attitude towards homework and that they accomplished most of the tasks. With regard to the therapists' behaviour during the assignment of the task, there seems to be room for improvement.

This article examines the empirical basis of using homework in psychotherapy and then offers a synthesis of the research literature with the preceding clinical articles. We provide a practitioner-friendly review of psychotherapy process and outcome research literature, concluding that there is now sufficient evidence to support the assertion that homework assignments enhance psychotherapy outcomes. It is also clear that homework compliance is a consistently significant predictor of treatment outcome. Limitations of existing studies and future research directions are outlined, and we suggest that more specific questions are required regarding the integration of homework into therapy process. Clinical recommendations and issues in homework administration described in preceding articles are also synthesized. The research evidence and contributors to this issue converge in recommending homework within the broad context of psychotherapy and using creative ways of administering homework that is customized to the client.
