This means that if two groups' means don't differ by 0.2 standard deviations or more, the difference is trivial, even if it is statistically significant.]]> 2017-03-09 17:06:16 UTC https://padlet.com/sgregor0328/kmyi5uarp6ow/wish/159049443 https://padlet.com/sgregor0328/kmyi5uarp6ow/wish/163413980 2017-03-29 13:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/sgregor0328/kmyi5uarp6ow/wish/163413980 https://padlet.com/sgregor0328/kmyi5uarp6ow/wish/163414287 Homework practices that are consistent with research-based guidelines have an important place in the classroom.  Teachers should be able to describe the educational gains for students as a result of homework given.

I completely agree with this statement.

This will enable students to work more independently as well as develop positive interactions with homework (through conversations and discussions) as opposed to being forced to compete a difficult task. ]]> 2017-03-29 19:16:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sgregor0328/kmyi5uarp6ow/wish/163534290 https://padlet.com/sgregor0328/kmyi5uarp6ow/wish/163534698 "Teachers should not abandon homework. Instead, they should improve its instructional quality."

Agree!

The goal needs (to continue) to be the focus of the assignment and how it will enhance the classroom experience and the learning.  Class time should be devoted to explanation and discussion, while also allotting time to review the previous evening's activity.  The goal is not for grades in a gradebook; it is to encourage learning and retention of information.]]> 2017-03-29 19:28:36 UTC https://padlet.com/sgregor0328/kmyi5uarp6ow/wish/163537146
