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.
Download or read book The Effects of Youth Sports Participation on Emotional Intelligence in Middle School Students written by Brendan B. Gail and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether participation in youth sports influenced middle school students' level of emotional intelligence competencies. The study was conducted to examine the relationship between youth sports participation and emotional intelligence competency. These two variables had not yet been effectively examined. The study used an instrument, The Life Effectiveness Questionnaire, to measure an individuals emotional intelligence and participants self-reported their previous youth sports participation. The test scores were averaged and cross-referenced with participant's questionnaire results. A two-tailed t-test was used to test for significance. The results were used to test the five hypotheses and draw conclusions. The most significant conclusion from the study was that middle school students that participated in youth sports had a higher emotional intelligence competency than those that did not participate in youth sports. Furthermore, male middle school students that participated in youth sports had a higher emotional intelligence competency than female students that participated in youth sports. The remaining hypotheses were inconclusive due to the smallness of the research sample. This study was an excellent pilot for future studies in the area of youth sports participation and the development of emotional intelligence competency. Recommendations for future studies include increasing the sample size in both breadth and depth and utilizing a greater variety of youth sport opportunities as choices for male and female participants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing human emotions plays a critical role in everyday functioning. After years of lively debate on the significance and validity of its construct, emotional intelligence (EI) has generated a robust body of theories, research studies, and measures. Assessing Emotional Intelligence: Theory, Research, and Applications strengthens this theoretical and evidence base by addressing the most recent advances and emerging possibilities in EI assessment, research, and applications. This volume demonstrates the study and application of EI across disciplines, ranging from psychometrics and neurobiology to education and industry. Assessing Emotional Intelligence carefully critiques the key measurement issues in EI, and leading experts present EI as eminently practical and thoroughly contemporary as they offer the latest findings on: EI instruments, including the EQ-I, MSCEIT, TEIQue, Genos Emotional Intelligence Inventory, and the Assessing Emotions Scale. The role of EI across clinical disorders. Training professionals and staff to apply EI in the workplace. Relationships between EI and educational outcomes. Uses of EI in sports psychology. The cross-cultural relevance of EI. As the contributors to this volume in the Springer Series on Human Exceptionality make clear, these insights and methods hold rich potential for professionals in such fields as social and personality psychology, industrial and organizational psychology, psychiatry, business, and education.
Download or read book Participation in high school sports by setting IV students with Emotional Behavioral Disorders EBD written by Jennifer S. Nerison and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study analyzes the link between students with emotional and behavioral disorders (E/BD) and their participation in sports while attending high school. Young men and women who participate in sports are positively linked in a reduction of delinquent behaviors and show an increase of making positive choices and receiving/earning good grades. Sports can instill confidence in a child, and he/she can learn to excel at something they enjoy doing and could raise this confidence participating in a sport. This is an opportunity to overcome struggles a child may be having emotionally and socially (Ireland, 2011). Adolescents who are a part of a sports team tend to befriend others that have the same interest. It has been found that teenagers who participate in a sport were less likely to use and abuse drugs and alcohol or engage in inappropriate activities. In most schools, being involved in sports is dependent on a student's grades and their school attendance. Basically if a student wants to stay a part of the team, he/she needs to study, attend their classes regularly, and stay out of trouble. Students that play sports during high school have a better chance in furthering their education, and avoid future criminality (Moore, 2011). This research takes look at the struggles that E/BD students may face in their school setting, and indicates the positive opportunities these students could gain being involved in sports.

Download or read book Positive Youth Development Through Sport written by Nicholas L. Holt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-09-12 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first Positive Youth Development title to focus on the role of sport, this book brings together high profile contributors from diverse disciplines to critically examine the ways in which sport can be and has been used to promote youth development. Young people are too frequently looked upon as problems waiting to be solved. From the perspective of Positive Youth Development (PYD), young people are understood to embody potential, awaiting development. Involvement with sport provides a developmental context that has been associated with PYD, but negative outcomes can also arise from sport participation and school PE. Sport itself does not lead to PYD; rather, it is the manner in which sport is structured and delivered to children that influences their development. Positive Youth Development Through Sport fills a void in the literature by bringing together experts from diverse disciplines to critically examine the ways in which sport can be and has been used to promote youth development.
Download or read book Personal Intelligence written by John D. Mayer and published by Scientific American / Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John D. Mayer, the renowned psychologist who co-developed the groundbreaking theory of emotional intelligence, now draws on decades of cognitive psychology research to introduce another paradigm-shifting idea: that in order to become our best selves, we use an even broader intelligence—which he calls personal intelligence—to understand our own personality and the personalities of the people around us. In Personal Intelligence, Mayer explains that we are naturally curious about the motivations and inner worlds of the people we interact with every day. Some of us are talented at perceiving what makes our friends, family, and coworkers tick. Some of us are less so. Mayer reveals why, and shows how the most gifted "readers" among us have developed "high personal intelligence." Mayer's theory of personal intelligence brings together a diverse set of findings—previously regarded as unrelated—that show how much variety there is in our ability to read other people's faces; to accurately weigh the choices we are presented with in relationships, work, and family life; and to judge whether our personal life goals conflict or go together well. He persuasively argues that our capacity to problem-solve in these varied areas forms a unitary skill. Illustrating his points with examples drawn from the lives of successful college athletes, police detectives, and musicians, Mayer shows how people who are high in personal intelligence (open to their inner experiences, inquisitive about people, and willing to change themselves) are able to anticipate their own desires and actions, predict the behavior of others, and—using such knowledge—motivate themselves over the long term and make better life decisions. And in outlining the many ways we can benefit from nurturing these skills, Mayer puts forward an essential message about selfhood, sociability, and contentment. Personal Intelligence is an indispensable book for anyone who wants to better comprehend how we make sense of our world.

Download or read book Models based Practice in Physical Education written by Ashley Casey and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-13 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a comprehensive synthesis of over 40 years of research on models in physical education to suggest Models-based Practice (MbP) as an innovative future approach to physical education. It lays out the ideal conditions for MbP to flourish by situating pedagogical models at the core of physical education programs and allowing space for local agency and the co-construction of practice. Starting from the premise that true MbP does not yet exist, the book makes a case for the term "pedagogical model" over alternatives such as curriculum model and instructional model, and explains how learners’ cognitive, social, affective and psychomotor needs should be organised in ways that are distinctive and unique to each model. It examines the core principles underpinning the pedagogical models that make up MbP, including pedagogical models as organising centres for program design and as design specifications for developing local programs. The book also explores how a common structure can be applied to analyse pedagogical models at macro, meso and micro levels of discourse. Having created a language through which to talk about pedagogical models and MbP, the book concludes by identifying the conditions - some existing and some aspirational - under which MbP can prosper in reforming physical education. An essential read for academics, doctoral and post-graduate students, and pre-service and in-service teachers, Models-based Practice in Physical Education is a vital point of reference for anyone who is interested in pedagogical models and wants to embrace this potential future of physical education.
