The aim of this handbook is to offer a series of contributions about homework regarding various theoretical and applied issues. It aims to offer education researchers and professionals the necessary fundamentals in the field of homework and thus help answer many of the questions about the conditions for setting quality homework. The aim is for homework to no longer be a source of conflict and controversy at the educational level and for it to become a useful tool for improving student learning.

The handbook is organized into six chapters and an epilogue written by leading figures in the field of international educational research from seven different universities. In this handbook information about the variables involved in homework and its relationship with self-regulation of learning can be found. Furthermore, the role of teacher’s feedback is explored and details about how to set quality and diverse homework are described.

The final chapter, Epilogue: Tasks for Teachers and Parents, offers a summary of ten key guidelines that teachers and parents should bear in mind during the homework process. These are essential aspects in achieving homework that students find useful, varied, and motivating.
