Last year, we had a month-long practicum, and I did it at a public school in my region. I worked especially with young pupils (ages 10 -12) who are playful and naughty by nature.

🟣 While working with pupils, I noticed that some of them did not do their home tasks, and it was a challenge for me. So, I decided to work on that problem to overcome it. After finishing the internship, I chose that problem as a research topic.

🔴 I study at Namangan State Institute of Foreign Languages.

🟠 I am a third-year undergraduate student.

2️⃣ What my colleagues/teachers think about tasks I gave?

3️⃣What do I do when my students do not do their homework?

They were...

🟨 Make an informal conversation with colleagues/teachers 🎙️

🟧 Make a Survey📊 for my colleagues to get their opinions

🟥 📽 Video recording of my lesson

🍏 What are some strengths of the homework I assigned?

🍎 What are some areas where you feel the homework could be improved?

🍊 Do you have any specific suggestions for how I can make the homework more effective?

🟤 To make well-organised homework

🟢 To make it suitable for their level

🟠 To make them work in pairs to prevent feeling bored while checking the task

🔴 To give a chance to be familiar with the home tasks in a minute

🟡 To show any strict reaction towards those who do not do their homework

🟣 To give a reward to those who do the task well

🔵 To use an unusual way to make them engage in the task

However, this issue is not only about primary school children but also all-aged pupils at school

After getting the results of a survey, I realized that I should work on assessment skills while checking homework rather than changing home tasks

However, I have noticed that when my students did not do their tasks, I did not show any strict reaction towards them. It was my main mistake. And I did not say anything positive to those who did tasks well.

But when I observed my students who did not do their homework. It was identified that they were a bit frustrated, so I tried to attract their attention to the homework using an unusual way. After that, all of my students were able to improve their knowledge on that topic

The points that I pay attention to more while video recording the lesson:

🔵 Students' activity during the lesson

🟡How they feel while I'm explaining the new topic

🟣Their "attitude" towards the home tasks I gave 🏠

🟠 Weak points of them while submitting

their homework

🔴 How many of them can do their homework well?

🟠 How many of them have difficulties with doing homework?

🟤 The suitability of the home tasks to the topic

✅ Analyze the whole lesson

Abstract:

Homework is often assigned to help pupils review new topics covered in class, with teachers expecting all students to complete their homework successfully. During my practicum, I observed that not all pupils completed their assignments, including even those who were usually active learners. This disrupted the connection between lessons and negatively affected the learning process. In this presentation, I will share insights from my exploratory action research, gathered through data collection tools such as informal interviews with colleagues, questionnaires, and video recordings of micro-teaching sessions. I will also discuss effective strategies I implemented during the action stage, such as group work and rewarding students who completed their tasks, which proved effective in positively influencing student motivation to complete homework.

Firstly, it helps to find proper solutions to questions that teachers encounter during the lesson and enhances classroom practice. Besides, it gives a chance to understand at which point we have difficulties and where we make mistakes. So, I am really happy to learn about EAR with the help of my best teachers.
