Abstract:
The present study aims to investigate private middle school students’
attitudes toward online homework in science lessons. Furthermore, the
relationship between these students’ attitudes toward online homework
and their academic performances in science lessons were examined. A
total of 669 middle school students from a private middle school located
in the capital of Turkey participated in the current study. These students
had experienced online homework in science lesson for 15 months. The
data were collected by the administration of ‘Attitudes toward Online
Homework in Science Lesson Scale’ (ATOHS) covering 31 items in
5-point Likert type. The results revealed that the students had favorable
attitudes toward completing online homework in science lesson. Students
reported development in their understandings of scientific concepts through
completing OHW.
