This study aimed to develop a scale to determine students’ perceptions of teacher involvement in mathematics homework assignments. An item pool (n = 30) was generated based on a literature review. Based on expert feedback, the number of items was reduced to 21 scored on a 5-point Likert-type scale. A draft named the “Scale of Teacher Involvement in Mathematics Homework Assignments (STIMHA)” was developed after the items were reviewed by a linguist. A pilot study was conducted with six middle school students to check for comprehensibility. The items were revised and finalized based on their feedback. The main study sample consisted of 751 middle school students from four schools in Demirci/Manisa in Turkey during the 2017-2018 academic year. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 24.0) and Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS 21.0). Validity and reliability were established.

<p>Homework assignments are have important role in learning process. In literature emphasizes<br />that homework assignments do not attract students’ attention and that students do homework<br />assignment just for the sake of formality. It is concretely argued that assigned homework<br />assignment should take into consideration students’ preferences, interests, and needs. In this<br />study, the “Homework Assignment Preference Scale” was developed to determine students’<br />homework assignment preferences within the scope of a science course. A pilot study was<br />conducted with 155 middle school students, and the main study was conducted with 924<br />middle school students. Exploratory factor analysis and principal components analysis were<br />conducted to ensure the construct validity of the scale. Hierarchical cluster analysis and<br />confirmatory factor analysis were performed to confirm the emergent factor structures.<br />Results showed that the scale was a valid and reliable tool.</p>
