2 Literature Review

2.1 A Brief Introduction to the Chapter
A serious problem identified with research into homework is the lack of acommonly accepted definition of homework (Julian Forester. 2001).Researchers havenot always made explicit what they have defined as homework for the purposes oftheir studies. If homework were implicitly defined as including all test andexamination studies, private study and tutorials, results of research would be expectedto differ from studies where only specifically-set practice, revision and extensionexercises were defined as homework. Studies which have provided definitions ofhomework are also disparate. Definitions range from the simple 'work sent home'(Louise Cooper.Pupils.2006) to detailed definitions such as 'the time students spendoutside the classroom in assigned activities to practice, reinforce or apply newlyacquired skills and knowledge and to learn necessary skills of independent study'(Jeremy Haroer. 2005). While Butler clearly still failed to clarify what types ofactivities were included. Did homework include work done in free periods, and didit include private study and study for tests and examinations? It is important that theactivities, as well as the purposes of homework be made clear.
