Abstract

The current investigation examined models of homework interest according to the data from middle school students in China. Homework interest was positively related to homework favorability, feedback quality, deep approach, monitoring motivation, peer interest, self‐concept, teacher control, and family homework help. Additionally, homework interest was negatively associated with the surface approach. At the class level, homework interest was related positively to feedback quality, yet negatively to parent education. Thus, the current study extended prior research on homework, by indicating that student interest in homework was further associated with peer interest and homework approaches. Implications for further investigation and practice are discussed based on these findings. Practitioner points: Peer interest and homework approaches significantly predicted student interest in homework.There is a need to promote peer interest in homework.It would be desirable to place more emphasis on a deep approach to homework.
