The focus of many after school programs is to provide youth with opportunities for one on one tutoring to help youth complete their homework. Many youth who attend after school programs have difficulty completing work in the classroom, so after school programs provide youth with the assistance with which to successfully complete the work assigned to them.
The purpose of homework is to take the academic work assigned in school and extend the practice of academic skills into other environments during non-school hours. Homework is designed to have students drill and gain mastery of skills, expand the concepts they learn in class, increase individual student responsibility, and give parents insight into their childrens' curriculum. Recently there has been an increase in homework demands because of the competition present in college admission. This causes a lot of conflict for students from low-income urban backgrounds, because a large number of the students are unable to complete their homework because of the competing demands of time with taking care of their families or working to support their household. This ultimately leads to lower academic achievement of this population of students.
Many kids spend after school hours in some sort of unstructured activity with low correlation to school achievement. Most of the time, programs that offer homework assistance provide structured time and setting for homework completion, as well as instructional support for students. This allows students to report an increased sense of confidence in regards to their academic performance.
It is very difficult, when researching this topic, to see how positive outcomes are linked specifically to the idea of homework completion in after school programs. However, it has been proposed that homework completion is the mediator of positive non academic outcomes such as self esteem and confidence, increased academic self concept, commitment to school, personal responsibility, reinforcement of school attachment, increased study skills, cognitive strategies and motivation. Also, there has been reported to be a development of resilience in social problem solving, decision making, personal responsibility, social awareness, and maintain student bonding to school.
However, in regards to future research, there needs to be more studies that isolate the affects of homework assitance in after school programs. As of currently, there is little evidence to support that homework assistance in after school programs leads conclusively to positive results.
