In her article ‘A lot helps a lot? How homework supports learning success’, Hannah Deininger, member of the Hector Research Institute for Education Sciences and Psychology, and the LEAD Graduate School & Research Network, sheds light on the complex relationship between homework and learning success.

These findings challenge the common assumption that spending more time automatically leads to better results.
