Abstract

The current research aims to study the reasons why eighth grade students neglect homework from the point of view of teachers, students and parents, and to suggest ways to overcome this phenomenon. To study this, the descriptive analytical approach was used, where three questionnaires were designed, one for female teachers, the second for female students, and the third for parents, and the validity and reliability of the tool were verified. A random sample of eighth grade teachers and students and their parents from Al-Aishiya High School for Girls was selected that is composed of (20) female teachers, (75) female students, and (19) guardians of the school's female students. Several statistical methods were used, including the mean, percentage, and (t) test. The results showed that there are reasons attributed to the teacher, the most important of which is the lack of communication between teachers and parents, which contributes to the neglect of female students to solve their homework, and there are reasons attributed to female students, the most important of which is the student’s feeling that homework is a completion of school hours, and there are reasons attributed to parents, the most important of which family problems contribute to neglecting their homework.
