A descriptive study that looks at the construction and use of student-shared learning targets for the immediacy of individual lessons and the effects they have on student achievement in the middle school science classroom. Being new to the use of student-shared learning targets, the researcher describes the results between treatment and non-treatment periods, making comparisons between the two periods, and reflects on the process and use of student-shared learning targets.
