Abstract EN
Today, schools and educational environments are the focus of attention of mental health experts more than ever.
It can be arguably claimed that one of the main reasons for this is because these environments involve individuals of very sensitive age groups of the community.
Additionally, the age of individuals in primary and secondary schools and high schools is considered to be the period when the foundations of the formation of the personality of individuals in adulthood are established.
Therefore, we must admit that the physical and psychological environment of schools will have a significant impact on the health of individuals in current time and in adulthood.
Psychologists, recommending families to identify and observe the factors affecting mental health in this period, do not forget the educational centers and schools, and mention that familiarity with and observance of the mentioned factors is necessary in mental health.
Accordingly, this study was designed to identify the major damages of “too much homework” to students and to introduce its causes.
According to the qualitative approach of this research, the data were collected and categorized by observation and interviewing with a number of principals, teachers, parents and students.
The results showed that some teachers assign more homework to students for justified and unjustified reasons such as well-wishing, raising the percentage of final-exams-passed students and family request, so that they would involve themselves in different cases, up to the level of physical conflict.
Naturally, the adverse effects of these behaviors are manifested in the short-term life of students in various forms such as aggression, suspicion and seclusiveness, etc.
