Are
there any differences in homework behavior in students from
different classrooms? Results from a multilevel analysis in

Students’ achievement
gains have been linked to homework assignments (teacher level)
and students’ conscientious homework behavior (student
level). However, there are no empirical studies that empirically
investigated the differences in homework behavior among students
in different classes and the impact of structural features (e.g.,
course level, class size, region) on students’ homework
behavior. In the present study with 1,312 eight graders from
73 German speaking classes from three regions in Switzerland,
multilevel modeling was used to predict students’ homework
motivation and behavior. The analyses indicate that school-level
and course-level factors significantly impact on students’
homework behavior. However, the data indicate that it is not
sufficient to take structural predictors such as class size
and course level into account. Therefore, studies focusing on
homework quality are called for. |
