Explanation at your level:

This is a very basic phrase. '{宿題|しゅくだい}' means homework. '{出|だ}す' means to give or submit. You use it at school. For example, 'I handed in my homework' is '{宿題|しゅくだい}を{出|だ}しました'. It is very important for students.
At this level, you should know that '{宿題|しゅくだい}を{出|だ}す' can mean both 'to hand in' (by a student) and 'to assign' (by a teacher). You can use it with particles like 'ni' to show who you gave it to: '{先生|せんせい}に{宿題|しゅくだい}を{出|だ}す'.
Intermediate learners should distinguish between the casual '{出|だ}す' and the more formal '{提出|ていしゅつ}する'. You might use this phrase in complex sentences, such as '{宿題|しゅくだい}を{出|だ}さないと、{成績|せいせき}が{悪|わる}くなります' (If you don't hand in your homework, your grades will suffer).
Upper-intermediate learners understand the nuance of '{出|だ}す' as a transitive verb and its role in school-related collocations. You can discuss the cultural implications of Japanese homework loads and use the phrase in passive or causative constructions to describe classroom dynamics.
Advanced learners can analyze the pragmatic functions of '{出|だ}す' in educational discourse. This includes understanding how the phrase functions in teacher-student power dynamics and its substitution with technical terms like '{納品|のうひん}' or '{提出|ていしゅつ}' in non-academic contexts to maintain appropriate register.
At a near-native level, one appreciates the cognitive linguistic mapping of 'putting something out' into the sphere of social obligation. The phrase '{宿題|しゅくだい}を{出|だ}す' serves as a primary example of how basic motion verbs are recruited to structure the conceptual domain of institutional requirements and academic accountability.

Signification

To hand in assigned school work.

🌍

Contexte culturel

Japanese students often have a 'Renraku-cho' (contact book) where they track if they have handed in their homework. Parents must often sign it. Summer homework is a massive part of Japanese culture. It often includes 'Jiyu Kenkyu' (independent research projects). In Japanese schools, students often take turns being the 'Nichiroku' (class monitor) who collects everyone's homework to 'dasu' to the teacher. While '{出|だ}す' is casual, the concept of a 'deadline' ({締|し}め{切|き}り) is universal and strictly enforced in Japan.
