      ab: In recent years, it has become common to use the internet or computer tutoring with a programme or application for additional instruction (ICTPAAI), in addition to the mandatory school schedule. This study aimed to understand students' participation in ICTPAAI and its relation to academic achievement. Multilevel structural equation modelling was conducted on a sample comprising 6,425 Chinese students (Mage 15.72 years; 48.9% girls) who had various forms of additional instruction during the 2014/2015 school year. Results showed that the use of information and communication technology (ICT) to complete schoolwork, whether in school or outside of school, was positively associated with students' participation in ICTPAAI; however, students' ICT interest, ICT self‐efficacy and ICT autonomy were not. Students' participation in ICTPAAI was negatively associated with their academic achievement at the end of the school year; much variance was explained at the school level. These findings suggest that students should be cautious about participating in this form of additional instruction and that schools play an important role in students' participation in ICTPAAI. Lay Description: What is already known about this topicWhen having more ICT opportunities at and outside of schools and higher ICT propensities, students are more likely to participate in ICT‐related learning activities.Students with higher achievement motivation are more likely to be involved in learning activities.ICT use at school and outside of school may not improve students' academic achievement.What this paper addsICT opportunities at and outside of school, and student gender link to participation in internet and computer tutoring with a programme or application for additional instruction (ICTPAAI), but ICT autonomy, ICT self‐efficacy, ICT interest and achievement motivation do not.More variance of participation in ICTPAAI were explained at the school level than at the student level.ICTPAAI negatively associates with academic achievement.Implications for practice and/or policySchools play an important role in students' participation in ICTPAAI.Students, at least Chinese students, should be cautious about participating in ICTPAAI.Pay more attention to boys to prevent them from spending too much time on ICTPAAI.
