摘要：This study aims to reveal the opinions of university students on the effectiveness of learning through homework. The participants of the study using phenomenology design, one of the qualitative research methods, are university students. The research data were collected by means of a semi-structured interview form developed by the researchers. Content analysis, one of the qualitative data analysis techniques, was used in analyzing the research data. Themes and sub-themes were set in the research and some of the participants’ views were presented through the quotations. According to the results of the research, the majority of the students stated that if the homework given attracts their attention, they would do their homework with the intent of learning. The students stated that if the homework does not attract their attention, they would do the homework just because they are obliged and would never go beyond preparing them mechanically. Students who think positively about the quality of the assignments given by academicians stated that most of the homework is educatory, and given according to their interests and needs. The students who think negatively described the homework as sloppy, excessive, non-explanatory, non-educatory, and expected to be done in a limited time, unsuitable for the student level and the content of the course and knowledge-intensive homework. At this point, based on the research results, it is suggested that homework must be used as a supportive of formal education not as a stand-alone technique.
