Abstract

This study examined the amount and types of responses to homework assignments reported by parents of academically talented elementary students. Participants consisted of parents of 577 students in kindergarten through grade 6 who attended a summer program for the academically talented. Using a modified version of the Homework Problem Checklist (Anesko, Schloick, Ramirez, & Levine, 1987), parents provided information on Students' responses to completing homework the amount of homework given in school, and the amount of time spent assisting with homework. Parents also gave an estimate of the amount of homework that should be assigned in a summer academic program. Results indicated that academically talented students completed homework with few negative responses and most parents indicated that homework should be given during an academic summer program. Whereas amount of homework assigned in school and amount of proposed summer homework increased with grade level, the mount of time parents spent assisting with homework did not increase beyond first grade.
