İlköğretim Matematik Eğitiminde Velinin Ev Ödevine Katılımı Tartışması

Abstract

Homework is a natural connection path for encouraging parental involvement in learning. Also, parental involvement in math homework is one of the topics discussed in the international literature. In this study, firstly, parental involvement in homework was examined based on literature. In addition, theoretical framework for parental involvement in homework was mentioned. Later on, related to parental involvement in math homework, the studies in the world and Turkey were discussed. As a result of this review, the results were presented and supported by the researcher's suggestions. The aim of this study was to examine the parental involvement in math homework, which is frequently emphasized in mathematics education, based on literature and to provide a critical perspective in recent years. Thus, in the context of this study, in Turkey, it can shed light on parental involvement in math homework studies, which will be constructed in a field-specific structure in mathematics education. In the relevant literature, it seen that parental involvement in homework is a multi-dimensional structure. Most of the studies on parental involvement in homework are based on self-determination theory. According to this theory, there are two different types of parental involvement: Parental control and parental support. Studies report mixed results with regards to the effects of parental involvement in homework on children’s educational outcomes. In Turkey, studies on parental involvement in math homework have been reported to be very limited. It is recommended to investigate the structure of the parental involvement in math homework, and to focus on which type of involvement will produce better results for the students.
