Download or read book Investigating Academic Motivation Among NCAA Division I Football Players Within Their Competition and Non competition Semesters written by Ian R. Potter and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: Recent data indicates that college student athletes are graduating at higher rates than their non-student athlete peers; however, among student athletes in general, revenue sport student athletes are well below other college sport student athletes in terms of academic performance. One variable that has shown to have a connection with academic performance among college student athletes is academic motivation. An area within academic motivational research that has not been investigated is how a revenue sport student athlete’s time commitment to their sport (competition and non-competition semester) influences their academic motivation. Additionally, the large majority of research assessing academic motivation among college student athletes analyzed academic motivation at one point in time rather than throughout a time period. Conversely, this study examined academic motivation several times within an academic year, rather than at a single point in time. The study also aimed to determine if academic motivation among NCAA Division I football players is significantly different during their competition semester compared to their non-competition semester and if academic motivation changed from month to month within each semester. The researcher created a survey entitled the College Student‐Athlete Academic Motivation Survey (CSAAM-S) which examined academic motivation among 75 NCAA Division I football players during three months within a given semester. Using a repeated measures ANOVA, it was discovered that the football players had higher levels of academic motivation within their non-competition semester (Spring 2013) compared to their competition semester (Fall 2012). Also, differences were found in academic motivation for each month within the competition semester and the non-competition semester. Additionally, race/ethnicity, athletic standing, and scholarship type were also found to yield different levels of academic motivation among the football players. From a practical standpoint, investigating academic motivation through moments of time rather than a single moment of time can lead to a better understanding of the concept of academic motivation. Results from the study will be noteworthy in providing more information to campus leaders and athletic department administrators in order to develop, implement, and better time academic motivational programs for NCAA Division I football players.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletes’ Careers Across Cultures is the first book of its kind to bring together a truly global spread of leading sports psychology career researchers and practitioners into one comprehensive resource. This extensive volume traces the evolution of athlete career research through a cultural lens and maps the complex topography of athletes’ careers across national boundaries exploring how social and cultural discourses shape their development. The area of athlete career development has traditionally been dominated by a Western perspective, an imbalance which has had a considerable influence on the shaping of career studies more generally. Stambulova and Ryba adopt a more culturally sensitive approach, offering a comprehensive analytical review of athlete career research and assistance in 19 different nations. The authors employ diverse theoretical, methodological and practical ideas to demonstrate how local knowledge enables a better understanding of the dynamics of cultural diversity within the field. Athletes’ Careers Across Cultures considers the ‘cultural praxis’ of athletes’ careers as a practical implication of the cultural turn. As such it will stimulate the development of culturally situated career research and assistance and be an invaluable and internationally relevant resource for academics, professionals and students working in sport and exercise psychology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The presence of rewards has been found to undermine intrinsic motivation (Deci & Ryan, 1999). This conclusion is primarily based on research conducted in non-sporting environments. The purpose of this study was to examine perceived motivational changes resulting from the hypothetical manipulation of a reward (i.e., athletic scholarships). Differences in "present" motivation between scholarship and non-scholarship athletes were also assessed. Gender, life roles, and sport experience were also examined in relation to scholarship status. Basketball players from four Ontario (n = 70) and seven U.S. Division I universities (n = 46) were examined. All athletes completed a set of demographic questions, as well as questions from the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS; Pelletier, Fortier, Vallerand, Tuson, Briere, & Blais, 1995) which assessed their "present" motivation. Athletes also completed the SMS to evaluate their "perceived future" motivation based on a hypothetical manipulation of the scholarship status. For Ontario non-scholarship athletes, extrinsic regulation (an extrinsic motive) increased with the introduction of a scholarship and the intrinsic motive to experience stimulation decreased. For U.S. scholarship athletes, the intrinsic motive to accomplish things decreased when scholarships were removed. When the two scholarship status groups were compared across "present" levels of motivation, U.S. scholarship males reported significantly higher levels of introjected regulation compared to Ontario non-scholarship males. Ontario non-scholarship females reported significantly higher levels of introjected regulation compared to U.S. scholarship females. U.S. scholarship athletes reported significantly higher levels of external regulation compared to Ontario non-scholarship athletes. Results offer partial support for self-determination theory. Implications for future research are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A commonly held belief is that collegiate athletes are particularly effective at transferring skills from their sports participation into a variety of non-sport settings. Unfortunately, a significant relationship has yet to be identified or examined between former Division I studentathletes' athletic identity and the development and application of transferable skills from sports to non-sport employment. The purpose of this study is to address the lack of measurable outcomes connected to the relationship between the athletic identity of former Division I student-athletes and the perceived development of transferable life skills through their varsity intercollegiate sports participation. In addition to exploring the perceived development of these skills, it is important to establish an understanding of how athletic identity affects the perceived application of life skills within non-sport employment settings. The researcher utilized an exploratory, correlational quantitative method to address three key research questions. Findings indicate that while a statistically significant relationship exists between former student-athletes' athletic identity and their perceived development of life skills, athletic identity had no effect on an individual's perceived application of transferable skills within non-sport employment. This study looks to contribute to the current body of literature by providing a measurable baseline between athletic identity and life skill development application.
Download or read book Academic Athletic and Career Athletic Motivation as Predictors of Academic Performance in Student Athletes at a Division I University written by Michael P. Shuman and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The academic performance of student athletes is an area of concern for colleges and universities nationwide. Studies have predicted the academic performance of student athletes through both cognitive and noncognitive means. The purpose of this study was to investigate academic, athletic, and career athletic motivation as noncognitive predictors of academic performance for 275 college student athletes at a selective, Division I university. An additional purpose was to examine the moderating effects of admission status on the relationship between academic performance and motivation. The findings from this research suggest that academic motivation can serve as a predictor of academic performance in college student athletes, and admission status does not moderate the relationship between motivation and academic performance."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Download or read book Uncovering the Mediating Variable Between Athletic Identity and Academic Performance in Revenue sport Student athletes written by Akuoma Chinyere Nwadike and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NCAA Division I FBS revenue-sport student-athletes, those participating in men's basketball and football, tend to have lower GPA averages than the general student body. Existing research findings support the conclusion that these students overall have strong athletic identities; but there is a scarcity of information that directly measures how this identity variable may quantitatively relate to their academic performance. This study is exploratory and quantitative, using a small sample of revenue athletes from one FBS university to begin hypothesizing about a possible, important mediating variable between athletic identity and academic performance: Intelligence. Findings of this study reveal a relationship between identity and intelligence for revenue athletes, with an equality found between the athletic variables (bodily-kinesthetic and spatial intelligence) and the academic variables (logical-mathematical and linguistic intelligence), yet statistically higher means for the athletic variables compared to their academic counterparts. The data also suggest that the academic performance of these athletes is statistically lower, on average, than the general student body. Though there is not enough data to confidently claim a dependent relationship between athletic identity and academic performance, the data trends towards such a conclusion. These tentative results are the first steps to gaining insight, establishing research priorities, and developing hypotheses for a large-scale study.

Download or read book PREDICTING STUDENT ATHLETES MOTIVATION TOWARDS ACADEMICS AND ATHLETICS written by Margaret L. Tudor and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collegiate athletics has become an integral part of the student experience for both athletes and non-athletes. Student-athletes' individual experiences have received considerable attention in the popular media and literature as the pressures to perform both athletically and academically are vast (Benford, 2007; Meyer, 2005). The purpose of this study was to examine whether gender (men's vs. women's sports), sport visibility (highly visible versus non-highly visible sports), race (white vs. non-white), and perceived motivational climate (task- and ego-involved) significantly predicts motivation towards academics, athletics, and career. Finally, this study attempted to establish possible correlational explanations for the lack of academic integrity in intercollegiate athletics. Approximately 310 Division I student-athletes were contacted to participate in the study. Student-athletes in this study were recruited from one Midwest University. Gender, race, and sport visibility were assessed using the demographic questionnaire. To measure players' perceptions of the motivational climate on each team, the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2 (PMCSQ-2); (Newton, Duda, & Yin, 2000) was used. The dependent variable of motivation was measured by using the Student Athlete's Motivation toward Sports and Academics Questionnaire (SAMSAQ); (Gaston-Gayles, 2004; 2005) to assess academic, athletic, and career motivation. To describe underlying structure principal components analysis was conducted. On the items of the PMCSQ-2, the analysis produced a three-component solution. The task-involving component accounted for 20.64% of the total variance, ego-involving approach accounted for 13.97% of the total variance, and the ego-involving avoidance accounted for 10.28% of the total variance. On the items of the SAMSAQ, the analysis produced a two-component solution. After iv rotation, the academic motivation component accounted for 21.60% of the total variance, while the sport motivation component accounted for 20.20% of the total variance. To describe and examine the existence of predictable relationships among the independent (gender, sport visibility, race, and perceived motivational climate) and dependent (motivation) variables, multiple regression was conducted. Results indicate an overall model of three predictors (gender, race, and task-involving climate) that significantly predict academic motivation, R2=.205, R2adj=.189, F(6,302) = 12.946, p
