Os Trabalhos Para Casa (TPC) são uma das ferramentas de ensino mais utilizadas pela comunidade educativa no mundo inteiro. O debate em torno desta temática tem gerado, ao longo das últimas décadas, muita polémica, em particular no que diz respeito aos prós e contras associados aos TPC. Neste trabalho, focamo-nos na análise das perspetivas dos pais, professores e alunos sobre os TPC em Portugal e em que medida algumas variáveis sociodemográficas interferem com estas opiniões. A investigação consiste, essencialmente, no desenvolvimento de uma ferramenta que nos permita analisar o impacto dos TPC no desempenho dos alunos e na sua motivação. Infelizmente a situação de encerramento das escolas que aconteceu no desenrolar deste trabalho impediu a plena aplicação desta ferramenta. Nesse sentido, neste trabalho focamos na análise de alguns dados primários recolhidos numa primeira fase do estudo de campo realizado numa escola do distrito de Leiria (32 participantes) e na análise de dados secundários recolhidos no estudo exploratório A Missão da Escola (6570 participantes). Verificou-se que existe uma grande discrepância entre a opinião dos principais intervenientes no processo da realização de TPC, nomeadamente, que os encarregados de educação têm uma perceção de intensidade de TPC solicitados muito superior à dos professores. Observou-se também que, na amostra de alunos analisada, são muitos os alunos que reconhecem a importância desta ferramenta de aprendizagem, no entanto não conseguem encontrar motivação para a realização das tarefas.
Homework is one of the most used teaching tools by the educational community worldwide. Over the last decades, the debate around this topic has polarised opinions, particularly regarding the pros and cons associated with homework. In this research work, we focus on the analysis of parents, teachers and students´perceptions on homework in Portugal and the extent to which some sociodemographic variables may interfere with their opinions. The research basically consists in the development of a tool that would allow us to analyze the impact of homework on students´performance and motivation. Unfortunately, the situation of schools´ closure that happened during the course of this work prevented the full application of this tool. In this sense, in this work we focus on the analysis of primary data collected from a first phase of the study carried out in one of Leiria’s city schools, counting with 32 participants, as well as on the analysis of secondary data collected in the exploratory study “The School´s Mission” with 6570 participants. A huge discrepancy of opinions between the main players, regarding the homework process, was verified. We observed that parents think there is a higher intensity of homework than teachers do. It was also observed that many students who participated in our study recognize the importance of this learning tool, however they are unable to find motivation to perform the tasks.
