The study is set to determine the effect of goal-setting in physical education. Its purpose is to study the effect of goal setting on students' motivation, in which is theorized to directly support a students motivation, the students who participated in the study were separated into two groups, one group where goal-setting techniques were applied and another that did not receive goal-setting techniques. Both groups then took surveys before and after the study in which measured students' motivation, experiences, and beliefs in physical education. The study found that goal setting had a positive impact on students in which increased a students motivation, beliefs, and experiences in physical education. This study correlates with the strategy I am using by specifically using goal setting strategies that promote autonomy among students that gives way to positive motivation/development that overall allows students to enjoy themselves among other students. This study showed that goal setting is a positive strategy that can help physical educators have a positive development with their students.
