This essential reference offers all stakeholders—administrators, teachers, and parents—the opportunity to end the battle and turn homework into a cooperative endeavor to promote student learning.
Homework
Significant underestimates of cooling loads can result from the use of rural temperature data. This guide presents the results of long-term measurements of air temperatures at 80 sites around London and includes on a diskette a design tool to allow the designer to modify Bracknell temperature data. It also outlines techniques to reduce the effects of the Central London heat island by careful design of the building and its surroundings.
Homework
The book is written with three goals in mind. First, I hope my conclusions help school administrators and teachers develop homework policies that benefit students. Second, I hope the review helps future homework researchers identify areas that are most in need of investigation. Finally, I hope the procedures I used to integrate the research prove instructive to others who are interested in making sense of social science literatures. I have tried to apply state-of-the-art techniques for gathering and integrating the homework research"--Préf. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved)
