Cunha, Jennifer; Rosário, Pedro; Carlos Nunez, Jose; Vallejo, Guilherme; Martins, Juliana; Hogemann, JuliaThe effectiveness of homework on improving student academic achievement depends on several factors; for example, feedback provided by the teacher (i.e. grading) and student engagement are important moderators in this process. However, the relationships between the types of homework feedback commonly used by teachers and student school engagement have not yet been examined. Anchored in the Self-Determination The...

Hence, the present study followed a longitudinal cluster-randomized c...
"Homework Should Be...but We Do Not Live in an Ideal World": Mathematics teache...
Rosário, Pedro; Cunha, Jennifer; Nunes, Tania; Nunes, Ana Rita; Moreira, Tania; Carlos Nunez, JoseExisting literature has analyzed homework characteristics associated with academic results. Researchers and educators defend the need to provide quality homework, but there is still much to be learned about the characteristics of quality homework (e.g., purposes, type).

Rosário, Pedro; Carlos Nunez, Jose; Vallejo, Guillermo; Cunha, Jennifer; Azevedo, Raquel; Pereira, Raquel; Nunes, Ana Rita; Fuentes, SoniaThe high rate of school failure among Gypsy children is on the agenda of European policies. The current study assessed the efficacy of an extra-class program, eighteen weeks long, to promote the behavioral and cognitive engagement (self-regulated learning, SRL) of Gypsy children from fourth grade. Gypsy communities were contacted, and the 35 Gypsy children in the 4th grade (10 to 12 years old) participating in ...
Transcultural analysis of the effectiveness of a program to promote self-regula...
Rosário, Pedro; Carlos Nunez, Jose; Trigo, Luisa; Guimaraes, Carina; Fernandez, Estrella; Cerezo, Rebeca; Fuentes, Sonia; Orellana, MarcelaThe current investigation aims at assessing the effectiveness of an intervention program designed to enhance self-regulated learning (SRL) strategies at the university level, with students from different cultural, linguistic, and educational backgrounds. The central tool of the program is a set of letters in which a fictional first-year student describes his experiences as an SRL student. The program was implem...
Teachers' feedback on homework, homework-related behaviors, and academic achiev...
Carlos Nunez, Jose; Suarez, Natalia; Rosário, Pedro; Vallejo, Guillermo; Cerezo, Rebeca; Valle, AntonioThe authors intended to (a) identify the association between gender or grade level and teachers' homework (HW) feedback and (b) examine the relationship between teachers' HW feedback, HW-related behaviors (e.g., amount of HW completed), and academic achievement. Four hundred fifty-four students (Grades 5-12) participated in this study. The results showed that (a) at higher grade levels, there is a lower perceiv...
