Abstract

The study investigates in various aspects the link between the math homework of the students in the end of secondary classes and their school results. The research data were obtained using the questionnaire-based survey method applied online to a number of 89 secondary school students from a school in Romania with good results in the National Assessment. The data was analyzed using the SPSS program. The results show that, in order to complete their homework in mathematics, 77.5% of the students need help, which they require in school (28.1%) or outside it (49.4). The statistical analysis of these data shows a weak correlation in terms of collaboration between parents and children in order to achieve homework. Gender-based analysis of research data shows that there is no significant difference between boys and girls in relation to homework in mathematics. The results confirm the current trend for students to increasingly seek help from people outside the school. The study presents recommendations for deepening some aspects of the research, among which the identification of the causes that lead to the decrease of students' interest in the activity carried out in the school. The results of the research are valuable in the context of a shortage of research on this topic because they show an equal value of the effect in cases where students receive help in the classroom from the teacher compared to those in which they are helped by other people outside the school to solve the homework in mathematics.
