Evaluation of homework in Nature and Society
Systematic monitoring of pupils’ achievements, as well as encouraging and improving the development of their knowledge, skills, and abilities are some of the basic tasks of the school. Apart from monitoring pupils’ progress during the teaching process, monitoring and evaluation of their independent work at home is also considered. The new approach to curriculum planning emphasizes the importance of formative evaluation, which implies monitoring and feedback about the learning process. The role of homework in the context of formative evaluation is very important because it allows regular tracking of pupil’s progress in relation to his previous achievements. A well-designed homework can be an excellent indicator of progress in independent work on home tasks. In addition, it can significantly contribute to detecting difficulties or excellence in achieving the elements of constructivist learning such as learning through research, performing practical work, etc. Creating and evaluating constructivist homework enables monitoring the development of pupils’ research skills as one of the two key elements of evaluation in Nature and Society. On the other hand, if homework is not evaluated, pupils probably will not feel the purpose of personal engagement in independent work and learning. Therefore, the paper aimed to determine how much and how the primary teachers follow the progress of the pupils in Nature and Society through the evaluation of their homework. The study sample consisted of 83 primary teachers whose assigning, verification and evaluation of pupils’ homework were followed by the students of the Faculty of Education in Osijek and displaced study in Slavonski Brod, during their professionalpedagogical practice. The lessons of Nature and Society were analyzed, within which the homework was either given or not, evaluated or not evaluated. The research results indicate that the teachers do not evaluate a large number of homework assignments in any way, or they do not give qualitative feedback. Related to this paper are reflections on the importance of planning, creating and evaluating homework assignments in Nature and Society. This enables the teachers to get feedback on pupils’ independent work performance, their engagement, and progress, and pupils get to understand the purpose of doing homework.
