My study and research on goal setting in Language Arts Reading from grades 3-5 will mostly be quantitative. The independent variable will be setting reading goals and reading their personalized goals each school day at the beginning of the period. The dependent variable will be whether the student accurately documents the minutes read each day to reach their personal goal. Another dependent variable is the difference in ages of growth between the 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. Some age ranges may have a larger growth because of age and experience with the four formal assessments and their developmental growth by age. The purpose of the research is to see if the data increases more with students that set goals with a teacher or if the goal setting didn't make a difference towards the Reading scores increasing. The students will be given a survey about reading strategies and personal interest in their reading likes and dislikes to compare at the end of data collecting to see if their interests and strategies change throughout the process.
I will compare these two groups (goal setters vs non goal setters) and as a sub-question look to see if ethnicity ( Hispanic or Non Hispanic) had an impact culturally in setting goals with a teacher. This would be the only area in which I will be exploring inductive behaviors in nature and look for themes in the data in terms of motivation, growth mindset and experiences.
