of achievement is strongly connected with students’ cognitive representations
of their attempts to succeed. It helps them to improve their ability in a task
and are associated with different outcomes such as a challenging work, high intrinsic
motivation, persistence and willingness to seek help with schoolwork.

teachers’ part here is to help them know what they really want to achieve. In
this case, the teachers seem to help them know the importance of the right
goals.

Motivation is a very
important cognitive process which has a great impact on the achievement.
Students which reach to set the right motivation or follow the objective set by
the teachers, prove a sense of self efficacy. They get totally engaged to fill
that. During their engagement, their performance in collaborating and
interacting seems to be improving. This is manly pictured in project-based
learning. During their meetings, they repeat and memorize the information. Self
efficacy is fundamental. While the students look into the learning processes
and see how they are progressing in some time, they recognize their ability and
agility (Elliot and Dwech; 1998).
