Abstract	Homework is a significant part of teaching and learning process. For this reason, teachers use it constantly as tools of teaching process. The effect of homework on students? achievement and student-parent relationship has been emphasized in several studies. The present study aimed to find out the views of the middle school students (n = 705) about homework. Additionally, it has been examined whether these views differ according to several variables such as gender, class level, and the education level of the parents. Survey method was used in the study. It was found out that the views of the students about homework do not significantly differ in terms of the variables such as gender or the educational levels of their parents, but they differ according to class levels. Furthermore, an important proportion of the students believe that science homework does not improve their power of thinking and creativity.
