- Modern schools are increasingly multicultural environments.
- Understanding homework involvement differences between native and immigrant students is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- Compare homework involvement and academic achievement between native and immigrant students.
- Examine the relationship between homework involvement and math achievement in immigrant students.
- Investigate age and gender differences in homework involvement.
Main Methods:
- A sample of 1328 students (ages 10-16) participated.
- Data collected from students, parents, and teachers.
- Comparative analysis of native vs. immigrant student homework involvement and achievement.
Main Results:
- Native students reported higher homework involvement than immigrant students.
- Immigrant students with higher homework involvement showed better math achievement in secondary grades.
- Homework involvement decreased in immigrant students from elementary to secondary grades.
Conclusions:
- Homework involvement is a significant factor in immigrant students' academic success.
- Targeted interventions may be needed to support immigrant students' homework engagement.
- Further research should explore factors influencing homework involvement across diverse student populations.
