研究发现，学生每天做作业 60 分钟的效率最高。同时，老师规律系统地给学生布置作业对学生学习的益处最大。专家认为，培养学生良好的学习习惯以及独立完成作业的能力最为重要，因此不建议家长或老师在孩子做作业的时候提供帮助。

Children often complain that too much homework is bad for them—and now scientists have proved it. Homework should take just 60 minutes for pupils to benefit most and results drop if it takes longer than 90 minutes, a new study has revealed.

孩子们经常抱怨作业太多对他们有害，专家最近证实了这一点。一项新研究表明，学生的家庭作业控制在60分钟内，效果最佳；如果多于90分钟，效果就会降低。

For teens to learn the most and get good marks, teachers do not need to set piles of work, but to assign it regularly. And on no account should students be helped with it, according to the study by University of Oviedo, Spain. It found pupils spent on average between one and two hours a day doing homework in all subjects. Pupils whose teacher systematically assigned homework scored nearly 50 points higher on the standardized test, while pupils who did their maths homework on their own scored 54 points higher than those who asked for frequent or constant help. The results were similar in science.

要让孩子学得最多并取得好分数，老师不必布置一大堆作业而是要有规律地布置。根据西班牙奥维耶多大学所做的研究，家长决不能帮助孩子做作业。研究发现小学生平均每天要用1到2小时来做所有学科的家庭作业。那些由老师系统布置作业的学生在标准化考试中得分高出50分，而那些独立完成数学作业的学生则比常问问题或不断问问题的学生高出54分。其他科学研究结果也有类似发现。

Dr Suarez-Alvarez said: “Our data indicate that it is not necessary to assign huge quantities of homework, but it is important that assignment is systematic and regular, with the aim of instilling work habits and promoting autonomous, self-regulated learning. The data suggest that spending 60 minutes a day doing homework is a reasonable and effective time.”

Javier Suarez-Alvarez博士说：“数据表明没有必要布置大量作业，重要的是有规律、有系统地布置作业，因为作业的目的是培养学习习惯和提升自主学习的水平。数据表明，每天花60分钟做家庭作业是合理有效的。

Students’ maths and science results began to decline when teachers assigned 90-100 minutes of homework per day. And while they found a small gain in results between 70 and 90 minutes, it required two hours more homework a week. “For that reason, assigning more than 70 minutes of homework per day does not seem very efficient,” Dr Suarez-Alvarez said. “The conclusion is that when it comes to homework, how is more important than how much. Once individual effort and autonomous working is considered, the time spent becomes irrelevant.”

老师每天布置90到100分钟的家庭作业，学生的数学和科学成绩开始下降。但如果时间是70到90分钟，成绩会有一小点进步。每周还需要两个多小时的家庭作业。
