Influencia del contexto escolar en las tareas para realizar en casa durante la covid-19: percepción familiar.

Faced with the new scenario caused by the period of lockdown, schools and teachers had to redirect their education methods with regard to different aspects, including homework. The main objective of this descriptive-inferential, cross-sectional, non-experimental and quantitative study is to identify the quantity, difficulty and types of homework done during the period of lockdown, according to the type of centre, stage of education and the presence of educational needs, with a sample of 1,787 families. The results show that parents perceive that homework during lockdown was characterised by a greater quantity, difficulty, individualisation and technologization. Regarding school variables, the stage of education significantly modifies the perception of the difficulty, quantity and types of homework. Moreover, the presence of special educational needs influences the difficulty, and ownership of the centre influences the exercise of individual or group tasks. In conclusion, the need is highlighted for families to be counselled in Secondary Education and for teachers to receive better training with regard to homework for pupils with special educational needs.
