This study explores the implementation challenges and enhancement pathways for smart homework as a crucial means of digital transformation in education under the context of the “Double Reduction” policy. The research finds that the implementation of smart homework faces risks of “hidden burden increase”, manifested as issues such as policy misinterpretation, implementation alienation, insufficient teacher digital competence, uneven urban-rural resources, and fragmented home-school collaboration. The application of technology sometimes deviates from the essence of education, even exacerbating academic burdens and educational inequity. To address these issues, this study proposes four systematic improvement pathways: first, implementing differentiated policy supply to construct a “digital compass” for precise governance; second, emphasizing demand orientation to avoid “technological formalism”; third, enhancing teachers’ digital competency to bridge the ability gap; fourth, promoting urban-rural integration and home-school-community collaboration to build an “intelligent learning and teaching” ecosystem. Through these measures, it aims to steer smart homework back to its original intention of “burden reduction and quality improvement”, achieving an organic integration of technological empowerment and humanistic care.
