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 2014 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With budget cuts being required in school systems around the country, many schools are struggling to justify the continued funding of athletic programs. Many students in the United States are faced with the formal education process ending after high school without the students having had the opportunity to become involved in extracurricular activities that may provide them with skills beneficial in meeting their future goals. Bandura's social learning theory served as a theoretical framework for the study. Through participation in school athletics, students can learn and apply skills that are relevant to learning across disciplines: social skills, work ethic, self-confidence, and internal locus of control. Thus, the purpose of this quantitative, causal-comparative study was to determine whether there was a difference in the cumulative GPA of students who participated in interscholastic athletics versus students who did not participate in interscholastic athletics. Archival data were retrieved for students (n=2,483) enrolled in three selected high schools in Georgia. A two-factor (3x2) ANOVA was used to test the significance of the effects of athletic participation (three levels) and of the possible moderating effect of gender on students' cumulative GPA. Results of the study indicated that students who participated in extracurricular sports did not have higher cumulative GPA scores than their peers who did not participate in sports F(2, 2436) =.645, p =.525, and gender F(2, 2436) =.444, p =.641 was irrelevant to the relationship between athletic participation and academic performance. These findings should be considered as leaders weigh the options of programming extracurricular activities including athletics and have to address gender equity and budget limitation concerns.

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 2017 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive literature review was conducted to examine the relationship between academic achievement and extracurricular participation. Three main "schools of thought" were found to exist with regard to the merit of extracurriculars: The Negativist, the Positivist, and the Optimist. Historically, the emergence of public education through around the 1960s was predominately Negativist. The prevailing view up until recently was Positivist, but research has indicated support for both positions and a new theory, The Optimist, is emerging as an evidence based perspective on extra-curricular activity and positive student outcomes.
