AB Currently, there is much debate about the value of assigning homework. Organizationssuch as the OECD have concluded that doing more homework is not synonymouswith better performance. This study was designed to analyze the mediating role ofstudent motivation in the relationship between the involvement of parents and teachersin homework and the engagement of students in these tasks. Seven hundred and thirtystudents in Compulsory Secondary Education (7th–10th grade) participated from 14schools in the north of Spain. Three competing models were developed and testedto study motivational mediation: a non-motivational mediation model (direct effectsmodel); a total motivational mediation model (indirect effects model); and a partialmotivational mediation model (mixed effects model). The best model was adjustedaccording to gender and school year variables. The total mediation motivational modeldemonstrated the best fit (indirect effects model). The results suggest the total mediationof student motivation in the relationship between the perception of parents’ andteachers’ involvement in homework and student cognitive engagement in these tasks.Some differences, albeit slight, were observed with respect to gender and school year.The results have clear theoretical and educational implications
