Abstract
Homework is an independent learning activity for students in extracurricular time, which is a supplement to classroom teaching. Improving the effectiveness of homework plays an important role in the further realization of effective teaching. However, in the process of graduate education, the effectiveness of homework is often ignored. And graduate students have gradually changed from simple knowledge recipients to knowledge creators. Therefore, it is more necessary to provide effective homework for graduate students and make full use of graduate students' autonomous learning time. From the view of helping graduate students to study better, this paper adopts the method of interview and selects the graduate students majoring in mathematics as the interviewees, to further understand what is the expectation of homework for graduate students. The following conclusions are drawn: (1) For the form of homework, students prefer written assignments to improve the effectiveness of homework. (2) Students hope that the content of the homework is the related variant exercises of the basic knowledge learned in the classroom. In order to ensure the diversity of the content, students also suggest that teachers can insert the contents of the extended knowledge and the knowledge to preview. (3) For the difficulty of homework, students prefer that teachers focus on the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD) and provide students homework with appropriate difficulty, to arouse students' enthusiasm and develop their learning potential. (4) For the amount of homework, students prefer to control the completion time of each homework within 1 hour. Based on the above conclusions, we put forward some suggestions for teachers on how to arrange effective homework: It can be based on written homework, supplemented by various job reporting methods, such as group cooperation, reporting on stage and so on. At the same time, the difficulty of homework should be controlled in the ZPD, and the completion time of each professional homework should be controlled within 1 hour, so as to improve the effectiveness of homework.
