Abstract

: Homework is one of the greatest educational practices in the world. However, in previous literature about this subject the research contributed does not take into account some important variables, such as the multiculturality of classrooms. Thus, a variable that could be significant in the relationship between doing homework and academic achievement is the fact of being an immigrant or a native. Therefore, the present study examines whether the relationship between homework involvement and academic achievement varies according to this variable. To do this, 502 students (310 natives and 192 immigrants) aged between 10 and 16 participated in the study. Through the Student’s t-test for independent samples the results indicate that there are statistically significant differences between the two populations in the majority of the variables studied, in favor of the native students. It is concluded, therefore, that the native students take better advantage of the time they dedicate to do homework, they take to homework realized with a higher quality, they benefit more of homework and, in addition, their academic achievement is better that immigrant students.
