This book was released on 2014 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research was to explore a range of predictor variables believed to influence the academic success of student-athletes as measured by cumulative grade point averages (CGPA) and academic progress rates (APR). This study included 210 scholarship student-athletes participating in intercollegiate athletics at a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) limited-resource institution. Multiple regression analysis found standardized test scores (Test), high school core grade point averages (HSGPA), the Will composite scale of the Learning and Study Strategies Inventory, 2nd Edition (LASSI-II), gender, and generational status (i.e. first-generation or non-first-generation) to be most predictive of student-athlete cumulative grade point averages (CGPA). Independent t-tests were conducted on all predictor variables in the study and found significant differences between males and females on the variables of HSGPA, Test, and CGPA with female student-athletes scoring higher on all of these measures. Significant differences were also found between first-generation and non-first-generation student-athletes on variables of HSGPA, Test, Skill, Will, and CGPA with non-first-generation student-athletes scoring higher on all of these measures. Student-athletes participating in non-revenue sports had significantly higher scores on the HSGPA, Test, and CGPA variables. Logistic regression analyses using found standardized test scores to be the only predictor variable in this study to consistently contribute to the prediction of APR point loss.

This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to examine the relationship between non-cognitive skills and academic achievement in the form of course completion rate and cumulative GPA of African American male community college students. Eight non-cognitive variables were measured compared to the course completion rate and cumulative GPA of the study subjects. Study participants were 102 African American males attending Midwest community colleges in urban settings with 10,000 or more student enrollment. Sedlacek's (2004) Non-cognitive Assessment method identified eight non-cognitive variables (NCV) and served as the conceptual framework for the investigation. Participants completed the Non-cognitive Questionnaire (NCQ), an instrument created by Sedlacek (2004) to measure the eight non-cognitive variables. Questionnaire data were matched to individual student course completion rates and cumulative GPA records. Pearson product-moment correlational analyses were performed on the data to determine which of the eight non-cognitive variables were related to the participants' course completion rate and cumulative GPA. The results showed that course pass rate was significantly correlated with non-cognitive variable #6 (successful leadership experience, r = .230, p

This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examined the correlation between background demographic variables, high school academic variables, college situational variables, and noncognitive variables (independent variables), and academic motivation and the balance between academic and athletic motivation (dependent variables) for first-semester student athletes competing at a highly competitive Division I athletic program. The literature review established a foundation for the need of this study based on theoretical and empirical research, and the development of more stringent academic benchmarks and progress-monitoring legislation recently introduced by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). A hierarchical regression design was created to investigate the correlations between the independent variables and academic motivation and balance between academic motivation and athletic motivation. Participants completed a survey comprised of an inventory of background variables, the Noncognitive Questionnaire (NCQ), and the Student Athletes' Motivation toward Sports and Academics Questionnaire (SAMSAQ). The dependent variables of academic motivation and balance score were derived from subscales of the SAMSAQ. The score for academic motivation was represented by the score on the Academic Motivation subscale of the SAMSAQ. The value for balance score was created by computing the difference score between the Academic Motivation and Student Athletic Motivation subscale scores of the SAMSAQ. There were 185 participants representing 29 different sports who took the battery of surveys during the first week of classes in the fall of 2006. The results of the study indicate that three independent variables were positively and significantly correlated with balance score: high school grade point average, parent level of education, and the NCQ subscale Knowledge Acquired in a Field (which measures culturally-related educational experiences outside of school). The NCQ subscale Dealing with Racism was found to have a positive and significant correlation with academic motivation. The discussion section analyzes the results of the current study, as well as examines how the current findings relate to past theoretical and empirical research. The discussion section also outlines implications for practice for high school and college professionals and suggestions for future research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Co-published in association with Big Picture Learning.Measuring Noncognitive Variables: Improving Admissions, Success, and Retention for Underrepresented Students is written for admissions professionals, counselors, faculty and advisers who admit, teach, or work with students during the admissions process and post-enrollment period. It brings together theory, research and practice related to noncognitive variables in a practical way by using assessment methods provided at no cost. Noncognitive variables have been shown to correlate with the academic success of students of all races, cultures, and backgrounds. Noncognitive variables include personal and social dimensions, adjustment, motivation, and student perceptions, rather than the traditional verbal and quantitative areas (often called cognitive) typically measured by standardized tests.Key Features include:* Models that raise concepts related to innovation, diversity and racism in proactive ways* Examples of admission and post-enrollment applications that show how schools and programs can use noncognitive variables in a variety of ways * Additional examples from foundations, professional associations, and K-12 programs* An overview of the limitations of traditional assessment methods such as admission tests, grades, and courses takenEducation professionals involved in the admissions process will find this guide effectively informs their practice. This guide is also appropriate as a textbook in a range of courses offered in Higher Education and Student Affairs Masters and PhD programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student athletes face a unique set of challenges when pursuing both academic and athletic goals simultaneously. These challenges are aggregated from a variety of sources, both external and internal. Many of the issues facing student athletes are cognitive factors, however, the author chose to target a less researched area and looked at the non-cognitive factors affecting student athlete academic performance. The research was conducted at a Midwestern university, which competed with a Division II affiliation. The institution was selected due to its unique combination of highly competitive athletics and high academic standards. The research aimed to discover if there was a presence of negative stereotypes and an awareness of non-cognitive factors influencing student athletes' academic experience.

This book was released on 2004 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Limited research is available when attempting to determine what, if any, differences exist in predicting academic success and persistence for African-American students attending a historically Black college or university (HBCU) versus a predominantly White institution (PWI). Tracey and Sedlacek's (1984) noncognitive variables have accurately predicted academic success and persistence for African-American students. However, in this study, the majority of the noncognitive variables as measured by the NCQ did not differ significantly between the PWI (n=58) and the HBCU (n=538). The interaction term of Positive Self-Concept and institution type did differ for academic success and was more significant at the PWI than the HBCU. Similarly, Knowledge Acquired in a Field and Successful Leadership Positions differed for college persistence between the two institution types and was more significant at the PWI than the HBCU. Although the majority of noncognitive variables did not assist in determining the second semester GPA or enrollment status of African-American students at either a PWI or a HBCU, past research has clearly demonstrated that the significance of noncognitive variables differs from semester to semester. Therefore, a more comprehensive longitudinal study examining multiple PWIs and HBCUs is needed to fully understand what, if any, differences there are in the way noncognitive or psychosocial variables predict academic success and persistence at a PWI versus a HBCU.

Book excerpt: Division-I Black male basketball players remain the overall lowest academic-achieving population in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), with a graduation success rate of 68% as compared to their White counterparts who had a graduation success rate of 86% for the 2006 cohort. Past researchers have examined cognitive and noncognitive variables as predictors of Black male student- athletes’ academic success in higher education. However, few researchers have examined those successes on a program level. In sum, although some scholarly works have examined Division-I Black male student-athletes and their academic successes on an individual basis, few of those studies have examined successful Division-I programs as a whole, specifically those that graduate a substantial number of Black male basketball players, and the potential influences that contribute to their academic success. Consequently, this study examined Black male basketball players’ social relationships with various institutional agents (e.g., academic advisors, coaches, faculty, and nonathletes) at a private medium-sized university in order to understand to what extent, if any, those relationships influence academic success. This study utilized a qualitative approach to answer the research question and subquestions. The sample population for this study included 5 current Black male basketball players, 2 former Black male basketball players, 2 coaches, 1 academic advisor, 1 faculty member, and 1 athletic director, all who represent Kenwood University. Data for this study were obtained through semistructured interviews. This study found that the majority of the Black male basketball players at Kenwood University had positive, healthy relationships with both their academic advisors and professors. These relationships strongly influenced the players’ academic success. However, while the players’ personal relationships with the coaching staff varied, the majority agreed that the basketball coaches at Kenwood University placed a strong emphasis on academics, ultimately influencing the players’ academic success. Lastly, despite the players’ overall positive relationship with their nonathlete peers, this relationship did not have a strong influence on their academic success.
