RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 The role of prior achievement as an antecedent to student homework engagement A1 Caso Fuertes, Ana María de A2 Psicologia Evolutiva y de la Educacion K1 Educación K1 Homework K1 Academic achievement K1 Motivational engagement K1 Cognitive engagement K1 Behavioral engagement K1 Primary education AB The benefits of homework on student learning and academic achievement, to a large extent, depend on the degree of student engagement. Motivational engagement (my intention or why I do the homework), cognitive engagement (how I get involved inhomework), and behavioral engagement (how much homework I do, how much time I devote to it, how I manage that time) are key aspects that condition the quality of the process of doing homework, learning, and academic achievement. Prior academicachievement is one of the variables that seems to be positively related to student engagement (both due its motivational component and to the training to do homework). The main purpose of this work was to study in detail this relationship in students of the last stage of Primary Education (N = 516). The results showed that (i) as achievement levels rise, the use of a shallow focus to doing homework decreases (and the use of a deep approach increases); (ii) there is also a progressive increase in the amount of homework done and in the management of the time dedicated to homework. On another hand, as in previous research, (iii) no relationship was observed between the levels of prior achievement and the amount of time spent doing homework PB Frontiers Media SA LK http://hdl.handle.net/10612/13807 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10612/13807 NO p.1-8 DS BULERIA.
