Description
Summary:Allowing students to choose their homework may also affect their motivation; Cordova and Lepper (1996) observed 72 fourthand fifth-grade students from two private schools and found that choices in learning contexts resulted in an increase in intrinsic motivation and engagement. [...]an unpublished master's thesis by Noreen Sullivan (2007) surveyed parents of children (N=424) from two Montessori and two non-Montessori Catholic schools on characteristics of homework, such as time spent and choice of content. Catherine M. Scott and Nelda Glaze, from Coastal Carolina University (2017), assessed the effects of student choice in a new homework policy at Ocean Montessori School (a pseudonym), a public Montessori charter school in the southeastern United States.
