Mamma och pappa har oftast inte tid

The main purpose of this essay “Mama & Papa usually do not have time” (Mamma och pappa har oftast inte tid), is to investigate what possibilities the pupils have when they need help with their homework. I also wanted to see what the actual conditions are when they do their homework. My second purpose is to see what their teachers think about homework and what they think are the positive and negative effects of homework. To be able to answer my main purpose I made a questionnaire with the pupils. The teachers were interviewed one by one. I decided to compare the results that the questionnaire had provided with the answers I got from the teachers. This way I could see if there was any similarity or difference between the answers. I also analysed and compared the answers the teachers gave with the theories I found in different literary or other material. This made it possible for me to compare if the positive and negative effects that the teachers experienced and whether these effects agree with the theories researchers make of the subject: homework
