| Sumario: | Based on a person-centered approach, the aim ofthis study is to identify different profi les of students based on the time they spend on homework and the use they make of that time; as well as analyzing the differences between them in the amount of homework done and academic achievement. Method: With a sample of 968 students of Primary Education analysis of latent profi les (LPA) and ANOVA were carried out. Once the student profi les were identifi ed, a MANOVA was conducted to analyze the differences between the motivational profi les in the amount of homework assignments done and in academic achievement. Results: We differentiated four profi les of students that differentially combine the time they dedicate to their homework and the use they make of that time. Conclusions: Of the profi les identifi ed, two can be considered more effective (those that manage time better), and two can be classifi ed as less effective (those that manage time worse). The two profi les that best manage the time spent on homework are also those that do the most homework, and have higher academic achievement. Likewise, the two profi les of students who manage time worst are those who do the least homework, and who have lower academic achievement
