The homework would be assign as a way of practicing the topic they are looking at, more than a way of leaving the task as something that is mandatory to do, or something that is required to bring to the next class so as to have a grade, which sometimes it puts pressure on the students.

• It is the process where the learners are required to do an assignment, which is left by the teacher with the aim of being completed outside the regular class period.

The students can go to the other students’ home so as to share and compare their ideas with the aim of creating collective learning about the topic they are learning.

The idea of this change is to make the acquisition of knowledge something that does not only have to be set in a classroom where a teacher is the leader and all the tasks are mandatory to do, but also something placed out of the classroom where the same pupils are the leaders of their learning process construction and without feeling any kind of pressure.
