The present study investigated multilevel models posited to predict student approaches to homework. Participants were 1,072 middle school students in China. Results revealed that deep and surface approaches were positively associated with performance-approach. Furthermore, deep approach to homework was associated negatively with homework cost, yet positively with mastery-approach, homework expectancy, and prior knowledge. Surface approach to homework was associated positively with homework cost and parent education, yet negatively with homework expectancy and mastery-approach. Females were less likely to use surface approach to homework than males. At the class level, surface approach to homework was negatively associated with parent education. Implications for homework practice and future investigation are discussed in terms of these results.
