How to Get Motivated to do Homework: 11 Tips for Students.
In contrast to the academic requirements of high school, college courses present a much heavier, more consistent workload. And with everything else that college students have to manage -- jobs, personal life, relationships, physical health, cocurricular obligations -- it can sometimes seem like getting your homework done is an impossible feat.
The first R is Role and Responsibility! Vidya explains, “In our experience, most of the parents just want the homework to be complete. And they think it’s their responsibility that the homework should be complete and the child should do it in the best way.
Options for this problem include doing a lesson on how they use their time and time management, finding out when they do have time and designing the homework to fit in with it (e.g. a recording they can do in their car or a compact self-study book such as a graded reader they can do standing up on the train), telling them how long each exercise should take, or even asking them to write the.
When students know why they’re doing something, they’ll be able to tell on their own when they’ve successfully completed their homework assignment. Keep your homework practical. Your students may not find themselves planning out a menu for Thanksgiving when they leave your ESL classroom, but odds are they’ll have to order food at a restaurant or write a memo.
Parents should be involved in the homework process, but not overinvolved. Start by providing a clean, consistent and calm space for your child to complete their homework. Sometimes, the kitchen or dining room table is not ideal, especially if there are distractions. A desk or table in a quiet area of your home might help your child focus more.
Eventually, kids have to learn how to do homework on their own. Try tailoring homework strategies to your child’s specific challenges and strengths. If homework continues to be a challenge, look for signs that your child has too much or talk with the teacher.
If students get too much it might be overwhelming, or get in the way of other healthy activities like strong friendships, play, sports, music lessons, hobbies or relaxation. If you feel your primary school child is getting too much homework you might like to talk to your child’s teacher.
