Abstract
The main purpose of this work is to check if the student motivation is an important factor in their perception of family involvement on homework. This is to check the relationships between different levels of intrinsic motivation towards school work of students in secondary and their perceptions of parental support and the type of feedback provided by their parents to homework, including the latter parental support and parental control. The sample consists of 730 (43.4% male; 56.6% female) of Secondary School students (12 to 16). The results show that higher levels of intrinsic motivation are associated with a higher perception of students regarding parental accompaniment to do homework and parental control and support them. We conclude, therefore, that student motivation is a factor of great importance to the involvement of the family environment and, more specifically, for the support and feedback provided by parents regarding homework.

Summary
Differences in the perception of parental involvement in homework depending on the level of student motivation. De esta forma, la investigación no solo sugiere que el tipo de motivación de los estudiantes ante una tarea se relaciona con la calidad de su implicación (Ryan y Deci, 2000) sino que la motivación ejerce influencia sobre la actitud hacia los deberes, así como sobre las características del alumno, el rol desempeñado por los padres y el ambiente de aprendizaje.
