Book excerpt: In many elementary schools, mathematics achievement, instruction and individual interventions are crucial to make sure that all students succeed. When students are not taught at their level, they may become discouraged, uninterested and act out. If students are involved with their learning, understand their objectives, have a voice to set goals, and receive feedback, the outcome can be very different. The overall research problem being addressed in this action research project is how goal setting affects elementary mathematics student achievement. This is an important project that looks to increase student motivation and self-efficacy in mathematics. How does goal setting increase student mathematics achievement? This research concludes that when students have clear learning targets, voice in goal setting, and receive adult feedback, there is an increase in learning. The research holds an impact for positive social change as it works to increase intrinsic motivation in our students.
