This study aimed at determining the perceptions of classroom
teachers and parents of the first three grade students toward their home
assignments. Fifty one of the classroom teachers and nine hundred forty
nine of the parents of first three grade
students were included as a sample
of the study. The questionnaire was used for both classroom teachers and
parents. Results revealed that the Teachers and parents agreed on the
importance of home assignment, but they disagreed about the kinds of
assignments, and the obstacles that hinder home work objectives. The
study recommends that classroom teachers and parents should give more
attention to the importance of homework in student's daily life. Teachers
and parents are advised to use homework as a mechanism for organizing
the student time as well as to teach students how to depend on
themselves.
