Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess how teachers in the primary schools of Chivi District were using homework to augment their classroom activities. The population comprised of all the 125 primary schools in the district with a teacher population of 1240 teachers. Random sampling was employed to select a sample of 400 teachers and 40 heads of schools. The study employed the quantitative methodology and adopted the descriptive survey design. All the data were gathered by use of a questionnaire which had both open-ended and close-ended questions. The study revealed that primary schools in Chivi District were not assigning adequate homework activities to pupils as expected. Pupils also faced problems of resources to effectively do their homework activities. The study recommends that teachers should assign homework regularly so that pupils understand that it is as important as work they do in the classroom. The study also recommends that heads of schools should encourage provision of resources for use by their children when they are doing homework.
