Abstract

![CDATA[While homework has been an active area of research investigation for the last 75 years (Cooper & Vanentine, 2001), homework research has gained greater prominence (Cooper, 1989) in the last 20 years and has been the subject of a special issue of Educational Psychologist (2001, Vol. 36, No. 3), a major educational journal. There have been several reasons for this trend. First, homework continues to be an important educational issue for teachers, parents, and policymakers. Second, the great majority of homework research has been concerned with the relationship between homework and academic achievement or topics which impinge directly on this relationship.]]
