The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of home computer ownership and use on achievement. Ninety-six second graders and seventy-nine fifth graders were taught basic programming with homework for three marking periods, and Logo programming without homework for one marking period. Pretests were given in both basic and Logo. Posttests were administered at the end of basic and Logo instruction. Questionnaires were issued to assess computer use in homework completion. Students were grouped by ability, sex, and computer ownership. Posttest scores for basic and Logo and basic homework score averages were analyzed using ANOVA and ANCOVA (with pretest scores as the covariate). Fifth grade computer owners had significantly (p = .02) higher mean homework scores than nonowners. Among high ability fifth graders, owners outperformed the nonowners on both basic and Logo posttest scores. Computer use in homework assignments was not as important to achievement as ownership.
