Bradford Academy Daily Online Homework
This page will go through the expectations of the daily online homework.
Free Homework & Revision for A Level, GCSE, KS3 & KS2
Daily homework is set via the SENECA platform. Students will complete subject reviews and quizzes testing their recall and retention of key vocabulary. Students need to log on to the SENECA platform every day to complete the homework using the timetable below. The purpose of reviewing key terms daily is to support the development of ‘fluency’ (recalling factual knowledge with ease to make the learning of new knowledge easier). Working (short term) memory has a limited capacity and overloading it reduces the effectiveness of teaching. If students have committed factual knowledge to their long-term memory, it is easier to build on with new concepts and links. It also improves the success rate of learning and therefore builds students’ esteem. This knowledge can be brought to the forefront of the working memory regularly through questioning and quizzing. This is what enables it to be retained in long term memory. When there is a time delay between re-visiting the knowledge, it allows it to be consolidated further. By weekly quizzing on knowledge that has been learned in previous weeks/months we can limit the amount of material that is forgotten.
