This book was released on 2007 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role and value of athletics within schools is frequently a point of contention among students, parents, teachers, coaches, administrators, legislators and other education-related community members. The disputes that arise have provided much of the impetus for investigation into the merit of athletic participation in relation to the impact upon academic achievement. Furthermore, in the modem high school setting, there exists a variety of options for students to meet the academic requirements for graduation, bolster their transcripts for competitive college acceptance, and pursue a number of other personal interests. At the crux of these pursuits lies the nexus of academic achievement, extra-and co-curricular involvement. In this standards-based era, much debate exists surrounding the emphasis of sports participation and the worth of such participation to the student and community. The focus of this study is to analyze potential relationships among student-athletes' overall GPA due to the level of involvement in advanced courses and co-curricular athletic programs. The implications for these findings can offer data to expand the knowledge regarding the impact of co-curricular sports on academic achievement, while including an emphasis on the quantity of advanced courses in students' schedules. KEYWORDS: Academic achievement, sports participation GPA, co-curricular participation

Book excerpt: The Toolbox Revisited is a data essay that follows a nationally representative cohort of students from high school into postsecondary education, and asks what aspects of their formal schooling contribute to completing a bachelor's degree by their mid-20s. The universe of students is confined to those who attended a four-year college at any time, thus including students who started out in other types of institutions, particularly community colleges.

Download or read book Inequalities in Sport Access and Participation Among American High Schools written by James Tompsett and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated an association between athletic participation and positive outcomes (e.g., higher grade point average, college attendance, and self-esteem), yet such work has yet to adequately recognize significant resource and opportunity disparities across schools in the United States—disparities that tend to be associated with social class and racial segregation, and that could very well carry over into extracurricular, including athletic, opportunities. In this thesis, I analyze inequalities in access to high school sports and the implications for and variations in individual participation. Drawing on the Education Longitudinal Study, a nationally representative data set on high schools and their students, I first analyze the extent to which sports availability across public high schools reflects broader patterns of concentrated social class and minority disadvantage. Secondly, I examine the consequences of the inequality patterns identified for individual sports participation. Findings reveal clear inequalities, with poor and high minority concentrated schools offering significantly fewer sports to their students than do middle/upper class and white-concentrated schools. Such structural disadvantage compounds the diminished likelihood that lower income students will participate in sports schools. The higher average individual likelihood of participation among African American students is significantly offset in segregated, disadvantaged school contexts, such that they would participate in greater numbers if resources at the school level were more equitable. I conclude by discussing these results and their implications for broader discussions of both inequality and opportunity within U.S. schooling and adolescent development in general.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This quantitative study was designed to examine whether there was a statistically significant difference in grade point average (GPA) between students who participated in school-sponsored athletic programs and nonparticipants in a Midwest, Catholic high school. Secondarily, this study examined whether there were significant differences in the relationship between athletic participation and GPA based on type of sport (i.e., team sport or individual sport). This study utilized Astin's theory of student involvement, looking at the impact of student involvement on academic achievement. Data analysis was conducted by the researcher using regression analyses. The results of the study indicate that the difference in GPA of athletic participants compared to nonparticipants was found to be statistically significant. After data analysis, neither team sport only participant GPA nor individual and team sport participant GPA were found to be statistically different compared to individual sport only participant GPA. Limitations of this study include demographic representation, socioeconomic representation, location, and by the type of school studied. Based on the results of this study, the researcher concluded that participation in school-sponsored athletics at a Catholic high school is valuable to students. Thusly, schools should not only fund school-sponsored athletics, but school officials should also be committed to policies that increase access to, and encourage participation in, school-sponsored athletic programs.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
