This book was released on 2011 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational development is important for the success of society. Self-efficacy, or the belief that one can complete an activity successfully, has become an important attribute in the drive for successful students. This concept has broadened to look at the generalized effects of self-efficacy on the development of students. This study examined if generalized self-efficacy ratings differed between high school athletes and non-athletes and/or by gender. Previous research has indicated that participation in high school athletics has multiple benefits for students. In addition, the relationship between gender and self-efficacy has been the focus of many researchers and typically significant differences are found. This study was designed to expand the research base on generalized self-efficacy and how it varies depending on high school athletic status and gender. Data was collected from 516 students in the 11th and 12th grade utilizing self report measures. Results showed a significant effect of athletic status on generalized self-efficacy. High school athletes reported a significantly higher generalized self-efficacy rating than non-athletes. There was also a main effect of athletic status shown on subscale of talent on the MJSES of participation in athletics. Together with results of previous research, this study suggests school psychologists may play a crucial role evaluating general self-efficacy, and developing and monitoring interventions designed to increase self-efficacy.

Book excerpt: Student-athletes face pressures different to their non-athletic peers. This difference has resulted in lower graduation rates overall, and particularly low graduation rates in some universities. Using a framework of social cognitive theory, reciprocal determinism and self-efficacy, this study investigated the academic and athletic self-efficacy of student-athletes in one New Zealand high school. The qualitative case study used data from semi-structured interviews of six students at a secondary, all boys, decile nine, public school. Interview data were analysed through a thematic analysis to establish salient themes that illustrate the experience of those six students at this point in time. Findings suggest that students hold a high value for the input of their teachers and coaches; students recalled differing affective states for classroom and athletic situations; students noted how their individual self-efficacy was different to their group self-efficacy; and that different students allowed different levels of environmental influence on their self-efficacy. The research supports claims that teachers and sport coaches make an important contribution to student-athlete's self-efficacy beliefs. Teachers and coaches promote self-efficacy by creating efficacious classroom and sporting environments that both engage with the affective domain and recognise that individual student-athletes will develop self-efficacy through a range of different sources. In addition, both coaches and teachers would benefit by focussing on how environment, personal factors and behaviour interact to strengthen self-efficacy beliefs.

Download or read book Performance Analysis in Team Sports written by Pedro Passos and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filling an important gap in performance analysis literature, this book introduces the key concepts and practical applications of performance analysis for team sports. It draws on cutting-edge research to examine individual and collective behaviours across an array of international team sports. Evidencing the close relationship between coaching and performance analysis, it promotes a better understanding of the crucial role of performance analysis in team sports for achieving successful results. This book not only presents a variety of different ways to analyse performance in team sports, but also demonstrates how scientific data can be used to enrich performance analysis. Part one delineates the main guidelines for research in performance analysis, discussing the characteristics of team sports, coaching processes, variables characterizing performance and methods for team member interaction analysis. Part two drills down into performance analysis across a range of team sports including soccer, basketball, handball, ice hockey, volleyball and rugby. Performance Analysis in Team Sports is an essential companion for any course or research project on sports performance analysis or sports coaching, and an invaluable reference for professional analysts.
Download or read book Sports Participation and Academic Achievement Does Self Efficacy Play a Role written by Amy Rose Cole and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 71 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study sought to examine the relations between sports participation, academic achievement, and self-efficacy in high school students. Self-efficacy has been linked to both sports participation and academic achievement, but no study has examined these three variables together. One hundred eleven students from two schools filled out surveys examining their levels of sports participation, academic and athletic self-efficacy, and demographic information. Participating schools provided student GPA information. Results supported the study's first, second, and third hypotheses. Athletes had higher GPAs and academic self-efficacy scores than non-athletes. Additionally, there was evidence for an indirect effect of sports participation on GPA through the mediating variable of academic self-efficacy. Results did not support the study's fourth hypothesis, as there was no significant relation between academic self-efficacy and athletic self-efficacy among athletes in the present study. Results are discussed in relation to the student population and school environment.

This book was released on 2016-01-19 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Ntoumanis and Myers have done sport and exercise science researchers and students a tremendous service in producing An Introduction to Intermediate and Advanced Statistical Analyses for Sport and Exercise Scientists. This book has an outstanding compilation of comprehensible chapters dealing with the important concepts and technical minutia of the statistical analyses that sport and exercise science scholars use (or should be using!) in their efforts to conduct meaningful research in the field. It is a resource that all sport and exercise scientists and their students should have on their book shelves." —Robert Eklund, School of Sport, University of Stirling, UK "Motivating, to have a statistics text devoted to enabling researchers studying sport and exercise science to apply the most sophisticated analytical techniques to their data. Authors hit the mark between using technical language as necessary and user-friendly terms or translations to keep users encouraged. Text covers traditional and well-used tools but also less common and more complex tools, but always with familiar examples to make their explanations come alive. As a dynamic systems theorist and developmentalist, I would love to see more researchers in my area create study designs that would enable the use of tools outlined here, such as multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) or mediation & moderation analyses, to uncover cascades of relations among subsystems contributing to motor performance, over time. This text can facilitate that outcome." —Beverly D. Ulrich, School of Kinesiology, University of Michigan, USA "The domain of quantitative methods is constantly evolving and expanding. This means that there is tremendous pressure on researchers to stay current, both in terms of best practices and improvements in more traditional methods as well as increasingly complex new methods. With this volume Ntoumanis and Myers present a nice cross-section of both, helping sport and exercise science researchers to address old questions in better ways, and, even more excitingly, to address new questions entirely. I have no doubt that this volume will quickly become a lovingly dog-eared companion for students and researchers, helping them to continue to move the field forward." —Gregory R. Hancock, University of Maryland and Center for Integrated Latent Variable Research (CILVR), USA

Download or read book A Wider Social Role for Sport written by Fred Coalter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-11-28 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport is perceived to have the potential to alleviate a variety of social problems and generally to ‘improve’ both individuals and the communities in which they live. Sport is promoted as a relatively cost effective antidote to a range of social problems – often those stemming from social exclusion - including poor health, high crime levels, drug abuse and persistent youth offending, educational under-achievement, lack of social cohesion and community identity and economic decline. To this end, there is increasing governmental interest in what has become known as ‘sport for good’. A Wider Social Role for Sport presents the political and historical context for this increased government interest in sport’s potential contribution to a range of social problems. The book explores the particular social problems that governments seek to address through sport, and examines the nature and extent of the evidence for sport’s positive role. It illustrates that, in an era of evidence-based policy-making, the cumulative evidence base for many of these claims is relatively weak, in part because such research is faced with substantial methodological problems in isolating the precise contribution of sport in many contexts. Drawing on worldwide research, A Wider Social Role for Sport explores the current state of knowledge and understanding of the presumed impacts of sport and suggests that we need to adopt a different approach to research and evaluation if sports researchers are to develop their understanding and make a substantial contribution to sports policy..
Download or read book Handbook of Parenting written by Marc H. Bornstein and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2005-02-16 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the fact that most people become parents and everyone who has ever lived has had parents, parenting remains a mystifying subject about which almost everyone has opinions, but about which few people agree. Striking permutations on the theme of parenting are emerging--single parenthood, blended families, lesbian and gay parents, and teen versus fifties first-time moms and dads. Divided into four volumes, the Handbook of Parenting is concerned with different types of parents, basic characteristics of parenting, forces that shape parenting, problems faced by parents, and the practical sides of parenting. Contributors have worked in different ways toward understanding all of these diverse aspects of parenting and look to the most recent research and thinking in the field to shed light on many topics every parent has wondered about. Because development is too subtle, dynamic, and intricate to admit that parental caregiving alone determines the course and outcome of ontogeny, volume 1 concerns how children influence parenting. Volume 2 relates parenting to its biological roots and sets parenting in its ecological framework. Volume 3 distinguishes among the cast of characters responsible for parenting and is revealing of the psychological make-ups and social interests of those individuals. Volume 4 describes problems of parenting as well as the promotion of positive parenting practices. Written to be read and absorbed in a single sitting, each chapter addresses a different but central topic in parenting, and is rooted in current thinking and theory as well as classic and modern research on that topic. All chapters follow a standard organization including an introduction to the chapter as a whole followed by historical considerations of the topic, a discussion of central issues and theory, a review of classic and modern research, forecasts of future directions for theory and research, and a conclusion. In addition to considering their own convictions and research, the chapter contributors present and broadly interpret all major points of view and central lines of inquiry.
Download or read book A Comparison in the Academic Achievement of High School Athletes Vs Non athletes in the State of Kansas written by John Heil and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this project was to compare the academic performance of high school athletes vs. non-athletes using grade point average and ACT scores. Using information from the Kansas State Department of Education, as well as the Kansas State High School Activities Association, provides some answers to the following questions. "Is there a significant difference in the grade point averages of high school athletes vs. non-athletes?" "Is there a significant difference in ACT scores between high school athletes vs. non-athletes?" Using statistical software, a t-test was used to challenge the null hypothesis. Findings from the study indicated that there was a significant difference in grade point average and ACT scores between athletes and non-athletes. Among the 5,017 male athletes, 74% reported a GPA of 3.0 or higher and 43% reported a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Of the 3,674 male non-athletes, only 64% reported a GPA of 3.0 or higher and only 34% reported a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Among the 4,330 female athletes, 87% reported a GPA of 3.0 or higher and 62% reported a GPA of 3.5 or higher. Of the 5,547 female non-athletes, only 75% reported a GPA of 3.0 or higher and only 44% reported a GPA of 3.5 or higher. In looking at ACT composite scores, athletes averaged a score of 22.94, while non-athletes averaged a score of 21.81."

Book excerpt: Abstract: Participants in this study consisted of 600 students from seven high schools in Western Massachusetts. Participants were asked to respond to a demographic questionnaire. The information from the questionnaire was used to divide participants into groups based on athletic status (athlete and non-athlete), family background (intact 2-parent, divorced 1-parent, and divorced/remarried 2-parent), and gender. Participants were selected for the study and grade point averages (GPAs) were recorded. A 2 x 2 x 3 independent groups factorial analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to analyze the difference in the mean GPA between gender, athletic status, and family background. The interaction effects were not significant (p> .05), therefore, the main effects were examined. The mean GPA for the females was significantly higher (p .001 than the males. The mean GPA for the athletes was significantly higher (p .001) than the non-athletes. Students from intact 2-parent families had a significantly (p
