It has been a means to reinforce knowledge transferred in the classroom. This study, using the quantitative method, analyzed school teachers’ perceptions of homework in primary grades. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 88 primary school teachers, teaching different subjects and having different teaching experiences, to participate in the survey. Results derived from data showed that the majority of teachers, teaching different subjects favored giving homework to primary students. Teachers with most teachers in this group had a neutral opinion of homework. Though parents in this study supported homework, they were not in favor of utilizing most of their time in assisting their children to complete their homework. The findings of this study are important to teachers, school administrators, and education policymakers, who need to instill not only the importance of homework but also ensure that homework works as a bridge to foster the parent-child relationship and develop skills to adjust in society. This study recommends that future researchers interview teachers and parents to collect rich data that can be triangulated with the survey to draw more effective conclusions.","PeriodicalId":31508,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education and Educational Development","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138596753","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An experimental study was carried out through pre-test post-test control group design. Eighty male undergraduate Urdu speaking students were divided into two equal groups randomly. Group A was taught English grammar – tenses and modal verbs through inductive teaching and group B through deductive teaching method. Pre-test and post-test scores of both groups revealed that group A performed better than group B in learning English grammar – tenses and modal verbs.

The methodology was grounded in interpretivism, induction, mono-method-qualitative, case study, and cross-sectional components. The participants’ selection was based on convenient and purposive techniques. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews (SSI) and focus group discussions (FGD) and were analyzed using thematic data analysis. The findings informed positive perceptions of PTs toward ICTi where the purpose of relying on technology varied across participants. Though ICTi was found important, still there are inherent challenges associated with its integration, for example, scanning online material, encoding math language, and limited awareness of mathematics application software. The recommendations necessitate the development of special programs to offer hands-on learning experiences along with mitigating challenges for the prospective teachers to integrate ICT for LM.
