In this diploma thesis which is called The role of Parents in Writing Homework, homework and its function are defined. The types of homework are listed and it is shown how the homework can be graded. All subjects of the educational process (students, teachers and parents) were recognized as participants in the preparation and writing homework. Each of the subjects has a role in writing homework, and the aim of this thesis was to highlight the role of parents in writing homework. When planning the research, the world was hit by a coronavirus pandemic, so the research included homework during distance learning, which was carried out as one of the measures to prevent the spread of the virus. The results of the research showed that homework changed during distance (online) learning. It was the best to examine the role of parents in writing homework by asking them about their children's homework. Respondents (parents) filled out a questionnaire about their children's homework. It was examined how much time they spend daily helping the child with homework and how they do it. Also, parents were asked about their own competencies and the competencies of their children when it comes to using the media for homework. They were also asked about the independence of their children in writing homework. The results showed that a large number of students need parental help when writing homework, and the type of help they provide varies. There are parents who spend a lot of time with a child who writes homework, but there are also those who are not involved in the process of writing homework. The research confirmed the great role of parents, as subjects of the educational process, in the process of writing homework.
