2,) Four elementary teachers were discussing their handling of homework in their classes.
"They know they have to do it to do well on the tests," Jo Buck comments, "but I don't collect it or grade it.""I don't grade it either, but I check to see if they did it, and they know they get a checkmark in my grade book if they did it," Art Ames adds."It's a part of my grading system," Karen Warner continues. "I collect every assignment, score it, and record the scores." "I spot-check them," Lynn Peet adds. "They know it may or may not be collected, and I try to avoid falling into a pattern. I grade it and record the grades when I do collect it."
Based on research, which teacher's homework practice is least effective? Explain, again using social cognitive theory as the basis for your explanation.
