The research combines a theoretical review with an experimental approach involving control and experimental groups. Differentiated homework was implemented for 9th-grade students, while practice-oriented tasks were introduced for 8th-grade students. The results demonstrated significant improvements in the academic performance of students in the experimental groups compared to the control groups, confirming the effectiveness of the applied homework strategies. Further statistical analysis (see Table 3.30) revealed that both approaches had a statistically significant impact; however, the practice-oriented homework showed a stronger effect, as evidenced by a higher F-value (14.3) and a lower p-value (< .001), compared to the differentiated approach (F = 6.31, p = 0.016). These findings highlight the value of incorporating real-life applications into physics homework to foster greater learning gains. The study provides practical recommendations for integrating differentiated and practice-oriented assignments into physics education to enhance student engagement, understanding, and achievement.enDifferentiationPractice-Oriented LearningAcademic AchievementThesis
