The study population consisted of all students ninth grade in 6 district Tehran city during the years 2019-2020 with low performance in math. 32 people were targeted selected as a sample and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (16 people). The instruments of the present study were Leder and Forgasz (2002) mathematical Academic Belief Questionnaire, For the experimental group, training was held in 8 sessions of 60 minutes While the control group did not receive any intervention. Proposed research package for empowerment education with self- determination approach it was designed based on the theory of Deci & Ryan (2004).
