Book excerpt: Pre-University Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Pedagogy - General, grade: 1.0, , language: English, abstract: This study was undertaken to find out what are the common experiences of students in participating extra-curricular activities. Also this study aims to know on how students cope up the difficulties they’ve experienced while joining extra-curricular activities. Only fifteen selected students are involved in the research, thus we recommend that they must gather more respondents in order for them to generalize the views and experiences of the students for having an extra-curricular in school. Based on the data that we gathered from all of our respondents that are involved in extra-curricular activities, many of them share the same experiences regarding their participation on ECA. They gain experiences that positively affect them and can be used to improve and enhance not only their grades but their skills and their personality as a student and as a person. For all the students who have extra-curricular activities, researchers recommend that if they will involve to this kind of activity, they should balance their time management in order to not affect their academic performance. In addition, for students who wants to have extra-curricular activities, we recommend that they should prioritize their academics first before other things so that they could not suffer difficulties especially when it comes to projects, assignments and tests.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School leaders continue to try to find ways to improve students’ GPA and test scores. Research has shown that extracurricular activities can have a positive effect on academic achievement. This study aimed at finding the sweet spot of the amount of participation in extracurricular activities in order to maximize students’ GPA and test scores. Eleventh grade students from three rural East Tennessee high schools were sampled to determine the appropriate amount of level of involvement in extracurricular activities. Student transcripts were used to determine the GPA of the students at the end of their 11th grade year, as well as their ACT score for March test during 11th grade. Students were placed into one of four categories based on their level of participation in extracurricular activities: non-participants, participation in 1–2 activities, participation in 3–4 activities, and participation in 5 or more activities. This researcher found that there is a significant difference in ACT scores for students who participate in extracurricular activities. In addition, this study found that there is a significant difference in students’ GPA for students who participate in extracurricular activities. This study determined that the sweet spot for maximizing academic achievement is participating in 3–4 extracurricular activities; therefore, school officials need to encourage students to participate in multiple extracurricular activities.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose ofthis study was to determine if a relationship exists between participation in extracurricular activities and academic achievement in high school. The study also attempted to discover if a relationship exists between the types of activities (athletic or nonathletic) and academic achievement in science. Finally, the study analyzed the relationship between participation in extracurricular activities and academic achievement in college preparatory science classes. A survey was administered to a sample ofstudents in a high school in Southern California. A chisquared test was used to analyze data from all three areas ofresearch to determine if the relationship was significant. The results showed that there is a small but significant increase in student's grades in science who participate in extracurricular activities as compared to those students who do not participate in extracurricular activities. It was also found that the type of extracurricular activity (athletic or nonathletic) does not have an effect on the grades students received in science courses nor did participation in extracurricular activities increase the chances of academic achievement in college preparatory science courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was conducted to examine the effects of extracurricular activities on the academic success of students in Fargo, North Dakota. The participating students (n=31) were selected from one of the local high schools. The participants' grade level ranged between 9th and 12th. The participants completed an online survey and participated in a small focus group. The survey indicated that a majority of students believed that extracurricular activites encouraged them to maintain a high G.P.A. Analysis of students' perceptions from the focus group suggested four main themes at work : (1) motivation, (2) social influences, (3) academics, and (4) enjoyment.

This book was released on 1959 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between student participation in extra-curricular activities and the achivement of desirable objectives of education in selected Winnipeg junior and senior high schools. Texts and source books on the extra-curriculum, curriculum planning and administration, along with various types of periodicals, reports, memoranda and other statements, questionnaires, printed programs of events, school year books, letters, telephone inquiries, and personal observations were used to approach the problem in four ways: 1. to survey the general attitudes towards extra-curricular activities and indicate the claimed outcomes of the extra-curriculum; 2. (a) to establish an acceptable set of objectives of education and, (b) to indicate the relationships between participation in the extra-curriculum and the desired outcomes of education; 3. to examine the relationship between extent of participation in the extra-curriculum and the student's mental ability and academic achievement; 4. to survey university attendance and subsequent occupations of some high school graduates in relation to their participation in extra-curricular activities. The first approach appears to indicate that, in the opinion of most writers, speakers, parents and students, a properly supervised and controlled program of extra-curricular activities makes very important contributions towards the achievement of desirable objectives of education. According to some sources, certain desirable outcomes are almost impossible without such a program. The second approach to the problem appears to indicate that, generally, Winnipeg schools should attempt to extend the democratic way of life and assist in the development of each individual student to the highest possible potentiality. This means that the schools should strive to develop in the children the knowledge, skills, habits, understandings, attitudes and character traits which are essential in the healthful living of the "good life". Schools should attempt to give students the personal qualifications and training necessary for finding and holding a place in a vocation which is best suited to the particular characteristics of the individual. It is also important that the individual should learn to participate in, and contribute to, community life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extra-curricular activities (ECAs) have demonstrated positive effects on students' academic achievement, school experiences, motivation, and self-esteem, especially at the high school level. Students who participate in ECAs can develop different types of skills depending on the ECAs that they participate in. This study examined the relationship between time spent in extra-curricular activities (ECAs) and academic performance in a sample of (n = 43) high school seniors, who participated in ECAs, and those who did not. A survey completed by the students revealed their age, gender, participation in ECAs, types of ECAs, and time spent in ECAs in a typical week. Each student's English Language Arts grade was collected as part of the study. Results of a Chi-Squared Test of Independence indicate that there is not a relationship between time spent in ECAs and grade received in English Language Arts. Implications for future research and practice, specifically to school psychologists, are provided.
Download or read book Investigating the Mediation Effects of Student teacher Relationships Between Extracurricular Activities and Students Academic Achievement in High School written by Rachael Schofield and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is evidence to support the notion that extracurricular activities have a positive impact on student success and development, the reasons why students participate in these activities, why they continue to participate in these activities, and why these activities lead to better educational outcomes are unclear. This study was conducted at three high schools in a county in northeast Florida with a total n of 131 students. This study used three theories as lenses to examine how student-teacher relationships impacted student engagement in extracurricular activities and in turn student achievement: Self-Systems Processing (Connell & Wellborn, 1991), Attachment Theory (Bowlby, 1969), and School Belonging (Goodenow & Grady, 1993) to analyze the data collected from the surveys. This data collection for this study included both quantitative survey questions and open-ended qualitative survey questions that produced three main findings. First, overall, students involved in extracurricular activities had slightly higher mean-level perceptions about their student-teacher relationships (i.e., caring, trust, and help) than those not involved in extracurricular activities, but this difference was not statistically significant. Second, for students involved in extracurricular activities their perceptions of the student-teacher relationship were slightly higher for their extracurricular teachers than their general teachers, but again, not significantly so. Finally, there were no effects of extracurricular activity on academic achievement within this sample.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine the impact of extracurricular activities and class attendance on student achievement in science courses at a Mississippi community college. Public colleges are dependent on state funding for survival, with one main criterion for determining that funding being the number of students enrolled. Students need to be successful in courses to keep up the retention and enrollment rates. Student success is potentially linked to class attendance and student involvement in extracurricular activities. Schools need to look at factors that might be affecting students’ performance in the classroom such as participation in extracurricular activities. There is little research on the effects of extracurricular activities on college students, and a gap in the literature exists on the effects of student achievement in science courses. This quantitative study used a casual-comparative and predictive correlational design to determine the impact of extracurricular activities and class attendance on success by using archived academic records. The researcher used two different independent t tests and multiple linear regression to analyze the data. The science course grade was used as the dependent variable and science course class attendance and extracurricular activity participation were used as the independent variables. Additionally, the data were analyzed with science course grades as the criterion variable, while science course attendance and extracurricular participation were used as predictor variables. It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference in student achievement among students that participated in extracurricular activities and those that did not participate. However, it was determined that class attendance could successfully predict student science scores.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine what, if any, associations exist between at-risk students' academic indicators and participation (or nonparticipation) in a school sanctioned extracurricular activity. The subjects from the study were drawn from three high schools in Missouri. The study included all students who were enrolled in the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program in each respective school. The researcher collected data on these students' attendance rates and grade point averages. The participants were divided into four categories. The first were at-risk students who participated solely in an athletic activity (e.g. baseball, football, and track). The second group consisted of at-risk students who only participated in a nonathletic activity (e.g. drama, speech and debate, FFA). The third group included at-risk students who participated in both an athletic and non-athletic activity. The fourth group was comprised of at-risk students who did not participate in any extracurricular activity. The researcher then compared each group to determine if a significant difference existed between the academic indicators between each of the groups. Analysis determined that at-risk students who participated in some form of activity have significantly better academic performance indicators than students who did not participate. In addition, there was a significant difference in the academic performance indicators of dual participants when compared to the other three groups.
