尽管家庭作业构成了学生发展的重要基石，但许多学生未能充分利用做家庭作业的长期好处。一些执行技能，包括认知灵活性、监控和计划，被认为是完成家庭作业的先决条件。因此，家庭作业的困难可能与这些执行功能有关。在这方面特别感兴趣的是患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的学生，因为他们被认为患有执行功能障碍。本研究考察了有自闭症(N=100)和无自闭症(N=86)的七、八年级学生家庭作业困难的差异与他们的执行功能水平之间的关系。作业困难用学生版和家长版家庭作业困难问卷(HDQ)检查，执行功能用执行功能行为评定量表(Brief)检查。与自闭症学生本身相比，自闭症学生的父母认为他们的孩子比没有自闭症学生的孩子遭受更多的家庭作业问题。对于这两组人来说，执行功能的水平与经历的家庭作业困难的程度有关。(C)2011 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Despite the fact that homework forms an important cornerstone of student development, many students fail to capitalize on the long-term benefits of doing homework. Several executive skills, including cognitive flexibility, monitoring and planning are suggested as prerequisites for the completion of homework. It follows that homework difficulties may relate to such executive functions. A group of particular interest in this respect is students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), as they are known to suffer from executive dysfunction. The present study examines the extent to which differences in homework difficulties of seventh and eighth grade students with (N = 100) and without ASD (N = 86) may relate to their level of executive functioning. Homework difficulties were examined with student and parent versions of the Homework Difficulties Questionnaire (HDQ) and executive functioning was examined with the Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Functioning (BRIEF). In contrast to students with ASD themselves, parents of students with ASD perceived their children to suffer from more homework problems than students without ASD. For both groups, the level of executive functioning was related to the degree of homework difficulty experienced. (C) 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
