Abstract

Home Assignments (HA) are not meant to keep children occupied at home. These serve several educational needs which are essential to receive complete education. Practising home Assignments allow children to review what they have learnt in the class. Doing HA increases comprehension of a subject or topic by helping children retain it for a longer period of time. Extension of home assignments includes long term assignments such as small projects appropriate to the age and class of the children. If a teacher can create a desire to engage the children in activities and to participate in learning experiences, learning will become more functional and better designed to meet the objectives. An assignment denotes this aspect of teaching. To know, how far teachers in primary schools have realised the potentialities of the assignment as an important part of teaching, the present study was taken.
