Location: Veracruz Exhibit Hall
Many researchers in the field of gifted education consider motivation to be a crucial component of giftedness, yet the literature base for motivation and math talent development within gifted populations is scarce. This study measured the math motivation, math achievement, and goal orientation of high-ability 5th grade math students to elucidate the relationships among motivation, achievement, goal orientation, and gender.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the math motivation level of gifted and high-ability math students in elementary school
  • Describe the common goal orientation of gifted and high-ability math students in elementary school
  • Explore how math motivation and goal orientation influence math talent development in elementary school
