ROLE AND PURPOSE OF HOMEWORK IN RELATION TO THE TEACHING PRACTICE IN POLISH SCHOOLS

Summary/Abstract: There are many new methods and forms of work in the education of every young man which he will not be able to meet on a daily basis. In order to learn the reasonableness of didactic activities, a student will need not only a school, but also a home, which are an inseparable part of education and the upbringing of future generations. The aim of the article is to describe the role and purpose of homework in the context of teaching and the current reform of education. In the teaching process, every teacher should strive to make the student learn at school as much as possible and to decrease his work at home. If the lesson is well carried out and stimulates the thinking, if its contents and functions have been properly selected, then it can be expected that the students have gained so much knowledge that their homework will not take them much time. Its performance will be a pleasure for the student, not a duty. We often forget that the teaching profession is char-acterized above all by the fact that its area of activity is a contact with people, especially children and youth, and the primary purpose of its actions is to educate them. Working as a teacher sets requirements, which are not limited only to the transfer of knowledge. These tasks are also the transfer of experiences, stimulating to be creative, active, moti-vated and capable, which contributes to shaping the value system of a young person. Implementation of these tasks may affect with teachers being overloaded by work, and cause fatigue and tiredness. It is important whether the beliefs about the teaching profes-sion are reasonable and the skills are adapted to the position. Therefore, it is necessary to plan didactic work, so that it is not obligatory to give homework after each lesson because homework is supposed to be a consolidation of what the student learned during the lesson, homework should not be just another filler of the day.
