University Of Limerick Study Finds Homework Frequency, Not Volume, Key To Maximising Benefits For Secondary Students

Thursday's Morning Focus talked about homework, and new research from the University of Limerick suggests that when it comes to secondary school students, it may be frequency rather than volume that matters most. The study found that short, regular homework assignments can be linked with improved performance in maths and science, while also highlighting questions around teaching styles and the growing use of AI by students. To tell us more about the findings and what they could mean for students, teachers and parents, Alan Morrissey was joined by Dr Darragh Flannery from the University of Limerick.
