Abstract

Based on the approach developed by Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler (1995), and focusing on the homework strategy (Epstein, 2009), we are able to observe the effect of the family involvement on the students’ motivation in the context of self-regulate learning (Yotyodying, 2012). With a sample of 60 Primary Education teachers, 630 students enrolled in 5th and 6th Primary Education, and using a cross-sectional approach, we have observed the teacher’s influence in the decision that families make to get involved, the students’ perception of the styles of involvement and the relationship of these styles with the students’ motivation. Our conclusion is there is a remarkable influence of a style based on support (requested by the students) and the promotion of autonomy, in the context of regulation of the academic motivation.
