Homework and Math Scores Across Schools

Research information
Statement of the problem

This study examines how weekly homework hours relate to students' math scores, acknowledging that students are nested within schools so any raw relationship may confound within-school effects with between-school differences.

Objectives
  • To describe the math_score and homework_hours across the participating schools.
  • To fit a multilevel (mixed-effects) model of math_score on homework_hours with a random intercept per school, so within-school and between-school variation are separated.
