This book was released on 2010 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, I examined the relationship that exists among school belonging, achievement motivation, and academic achievement in a sample of student-athletes at UC Berkeley. The goal of the study was to achieve a deeper understanding of how and why achievement motivation and academic achievement is often discrepant between revenue and non-revenue athletes (Howard-Hamilton & Sina, 2001; Simons, Covington, & Van Rheenen, 1999). By examining the relationship between sense of school belonging and achievement motivation, I aimed to identify an additional factor that may contribute to motivation and achievement differences observed between subgroups in my sample. I also investigated differing motivation profiles in a representative sample of student-athletes. The current study used a 2 x 2 goal achievement framework established by Elliot and McGregor (2001) to provide a deeper understanding of motivation by fusing approach-avoidance and mastery-performance perspectives (Elliot & McGregor, 2001). Data for this study were collected from 143 college student-athletes at a large public university in the western United States. Respondents were from 17 to 24 years of age and were diverse in regard to gender, ethnicity, class year, sport, and socioeconomic status. Students who agreed to participate completed a brief questionnaire and submitted their responses anonymously. Motivation profiles were established by clustering scores from four variables: mastery-approach, performance-approach, mastery-avoidance, and performance-avoidance. Four meaningful clusters were identified among the student-athlete sample. A series of multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) and univariate ANOVAs were then used to examine cluster group differences on the variables of perceived school belonging (instructor support, peer support, and general sense of belonging), achievement data, and each motivation cluster. Group differences amongst high-revenue and non-revenue student-athletes in regard to the dimension of school belonging, goal orientation, and achievement level were assessed using multivariate analysis of variance. Overall the results of the study reveal that four motivational profiles were identified within the student-athlete population using a 2 x 2 approach-avoidance and mastery-performance model. These clusters can be described as High Mastery, Moderate Motivation, High Approach, and High Motivation profiles. Student-athletes rarely reported low levels of motivation on the scale. The differences that were found between clusters were based on students feeling strongly or moderately in regard to motivation. Overall, subscales associated with a sense of school belonging did vary significantly across the four motivational clusters. Student-athletes identified as having a Moderate motivation profile had a weaker sense of support from peers, instructors, and the overall academic community in comparison to students found in the High Motivation and High Approach clusters. Students identified as having a High Approach profile felt the highest level of belonging across measures. No significant difference was found between revenue and non-revenue athletes in regard to distribution among cluster profiles; however, revenue athletes reported significantly lower levels of belonging across subscales and had a lower mean grade point average.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There exists a continued debate over the place of sport within institutions of higher education – from universities competing in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I, though those contesting sport on a vastly smaller scale in the selective, residential, liberal arts (Brand, 2006; Snyder & Waterstone, 2015). Critics have highlighted the academic-athletic divide through descriptions of academic under-preparedness and underperformance among student-athletes (Shulman & Bowen, 2001). Proponents of sport have championed its ability to contribute to a holistic notion of education and develop an array of competencies that are often touted in institutional missions (Vella, Crowe, & Oades, 2013). While the debates are frequently repeated, there is a dearth of empirical data examining the educational impact of athletic participation at the college level (Emerson, Brooks, & McKenzie, 2009). The purpose of this research was to assess the educational ability of sport in a completely unique manner, providing empirical evidence as to whether or not participation enhanced the mission of the liberal arts collegiate experience. In order to assess such impact, the construct of Emotional Intelligence (EI) was used as a proxy for student development; competencies that are encompassed in the construct are central to the educational missions of the selective, residential, liberal arts. Students from five such institutions in the Midwest were sampled. Participants completed the Assessing Emotions Scale (AES) prior to and after the conclusion of the natural intervention of a season of collegiate athletics participation. Through a Split-Plot Repeated Measures Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), evidence was produced that the experience of attending a selective, residential, liberal arts institution develops EI within students over a relatively short period of time. Results indicated that student-athletes have higher EI than non-athletes but that a single season of sport participation does not develop participant EI significantly different than the collegiate experience of students not participating in athletics. Differences were not found in the development of EI based on the institution a study respondent attended, or through participation on a specific athletic team. Implications of results are pragmatically discussed.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: An understanding of the personal, social and environmental factors as correlates of sports participation among varsity athletes in insurgency ridden areas in Nigeria will allow for the optimizing of student-athletes participation and minimize morbidity. The purpose of this study was to discuss the personal, social and environmental factors that affect varsity student-athletes in northern Nigeria, an area ridden with insurgency for the past six years. Personal factors in this study include the demographic attributes of the student-athletes such as cognition, motives and interests. Social factors include parents, teammates, course mates, lecturers, coaches, media, policy, security and legislature. Environmental factors identified include weather, air quality, playing surfaces, proximity to safe facilities. There are evidence in research that demonstrates that sports programmes provides many positive benefits for students especially when sound educational policies and quality leadership are in place. There has been copious literature that supports the use of sports in improving personal, social and environmental factors of sport participants. Some of these include; improvement in motor skills, enhancement of normal physical, social growth and maturation, improvement of socialization, self-esteem, self-perception and psychological wellbeing.

Book excerpt: Acknowledging China’s established status as a global sporting superpower, this is the first book to systematically investigate sport policy in that country.

It examines the debates around policy, globalisation, diplomacy and soft power, as well as the significance of the principle of ‘one country, two systems’. With international appeal, this book is a valuable resource for students and researchers in the fields of sport policy, sport management, sport development and sport sociology.
