- Abstract:
- Children diagnosed with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder display behaviors that impact their academic performance. Homework is an integral part of an educational program, but they often do not complete or return their homework. The purpose of this study was to investigate what homework strategies are currently used by elementary, middle, and high school teachers in Miami Dade County within the different school settings. Participants consisted of 120 teachers from public schools within Miami-Dade County, and Catholic schools within the Archdiocese of Miami. Teachers completed an anonymous survey about their use of homework intervention strategies. Results indicated that although the teachers endorsed similar strategies within the elementary, middle, and high school levels, significant differences were noted in the number of endorsements between grade levels for utilizing parental involvement (/?=< .001), teaching organizational skills (/?=.003), homework strategies (/;>=.001). and returning results (/t=<.00 1) Years of teaching experience or experience with teaching students diagnosed with ADHD did not significantly influence the strategies teachers chose to endorse. However, as the student’s age increased, teachers selected strategies that depended on individual student responsibility rather than on parent assistance. Teacher preferred strategies, effects of experience, and differences among grade level endorsements are discussed. The results of this study can help teachers make decisions regarding appropriate homework strategies for students diagnosed with ADHD across the various grade levels.
