Download or read book College Students Perceptions of how Participation in High School Athletics Affects Their Resilience written by Geoffrey Mills and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study considered the perceptions of college students regarding the effect of their participation in high school athletics upon their resilience. This study explored the effect of athletic participation on students' academic achievement, capacity to overcome adversity, and ability to cope with stress. This study was conducted in a private, coeducational university in suburban, southeastern Pennsylvania. Seventy-five undergraduate college students who matriculated to this university and attended public, private, or parochial high schools participated. The results of this study suggested that participation in athletics supported most participants' academic achievement, developed their capacity to overcome challenges and adversity, and positively affected their ability to manage stress. The themes that emerged in this research study, when considered within the context of prior research related to protective factors and resilience, suggested that participation in athletic activities promoted resilience among these students.
Download or read book Adult Perceptions of Student Involvement in High School Athletics written by William Alexander Laird and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this ethnographic case study was to explore and investigate the adult perceptions of the influence or impact that student involvement in high school athletics has on student engagement and student success. Due to the fact that funding for education in California is tied to the state economy, it is continually susceptible to periods of economic boom as well as times of economic recession. The result is that educational leaders have to continually make decisions about what programs to cut or to continue to fund. In times of economic crisis, there is a documented tendency for schools across the nation to cut extracurricular programs in order to sustain the academic curricular programs. This study examines adult perceptions regarding the impact that they believe athletic involvement ultimately has on student engagement and student success in a secondary setting. Through a focus group with parents, a staff survey and semi-structured interviews with staff members, this study explored adult perceptions regarding the impact that athletics has on overall student engagement and success. Findings include the importance of athletics in providing “life lessons” and in teaching xi students skills that cannot be taught as easily, if at all, in the classroom; the importance of athletics in providing a “sense of belonging” or “being a part of a team”; and the role that athletic involvement plays in providing motivation for students to be academically more engaged and successful.

Book excerpt: This study sought to examine student-athletes’ perceptions about how academic support programs affect their academic success in completion of their programs of study at SPORTS University. Many student-athletes face challenges regarding their time commitments and academic success. As student-athletes face more responsibilities, their personal and academic achievement can be affected. This study was guided by two research questions focusing on the resources that influence the academic success of student-athletes, academic support programs currently in place and the correlation between those programs and the academic success of student-athletes at SPORTS University. This research was completed through a mixed-methods, descriptive case study approach, where tools were provided to study a complex phenomenon, theory and interventions were developed based on research findings and results. The research was conducted virtually through a survey and virtual interviews and focused on interactions with student-athletes at SPORTS University. As holds true with case study methodology, the researcher used several data collection methods to ensure that rich data was collected and analyzed. The chosen sources of data collection for this study included structured interviews, surveys, and NCAA artifact review.

Download or read book Educating the Student Body written by Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment and published by National Academies Press. 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.

Download or read book In season and Out of season Academic Performance of Secondary School Student athletes written by Toney L Farr (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The in-season and out-of-season effects of sports participation on academic performance vary depending on the level of play from middle school through collegiate athletics. The purpose of this study was to determine if a significant difference exists between in-season academic performance and out-of-season academic performance of student-athletes in a low-income high school. The number of students participating in high school athletics has continued to rise for 33 consecutive years as increases in the commercialization of high school athletics affect the athletic identities and academic achievement of student-athletes. Little research has been done to examine the effects of in- and out-of-season play on academic performance at the secondary level. This study examined the in- and out-of-season effects on the academic performance of 130 student-athletes in a low-income high school using a repeated measures design. The average semester GPAs of the student-athletes in- and out-of-season were compared using paired samples t-test procedures. The findings yielded positive and statistically significant differences in academic achievement in-season as compared to out-of-season at p = 0.038. Suggestions for future research include examining the effects of athletic seasons on academic achievement in individual sports and across ethnic groups, longitudinal studies, and qualitative studies to investigate the perspectives of student-athletes.
Download or read book Perceptions of College Students on Race and Stereotypes in Athletics written by Clinton Woods and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the perceptions of college students on race and stereotypes in athletics. A total of 219 students participated in the study from a rural Midwestern college. Data was collected by asking students to complete an instrument that measures perceptions of race, athleticism, and stereotypes in athletics. Students completed the instrument through an on-line data collection system that tabulated results automatically. The instrument was adapted from two previous studies by Harrison and Lawrence (2004), and Hodge et al. (2008). The research findings indicate that the influences of race-based stereotypes of athletes still persist. Substantially large proportions of students provided agreement with various statements indicating race-based differences in both athletic and intellectual ability. The variation in responses across items pertaining to different race comparisons tends to support common stereotypes related to both athletics and intelligence. These findings are particularly concerning when considering that past research has suggested that such stereotypes can have profound effects on athletic performance, academics, and overall well-being. Study results and limitations warrant more research to accurately depict the way feelings, attitudes, and experiences affect this issue. Sports professionals, educators, and athletic administrators have the responsibility to stop the perpetuation of race-based stereotypic beliefs by creating a culture that not only celebrates athletic success, despite one's race, but equally promotes academic success. Moreover, it is the responsibility of coaches, educators, and athletic administrators to positively impact these perceptions.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this research is to examine factors influencing the academic success of student athletes participating in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA); a growing and largely unstudied group of students. This study uses institutional data collected for the NAIA's Return on Athletics® initiative in 2019-2020 as well as, data from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Five research questions used logistic regression to explore factors that influence student athlete retention, graduation, differences for varsity and non-varsity athletes, for various levels of academic performance, and athletic scholarship totals. All data were analyzed using STATA. The findings from this study are that while overall, student athletes represented in this data set are retained at a high rate, certain sub-groups may be at risk for attrition. Specifically, non-varsity athletes are less likely retained. Additionally, student athletes with a grade point average below a 3.0 or those who have been enrolled at an institution for less than five semesters are less likely to be retained. Black student athletes were found to be more likely to complete degrees and graduation was found to be positively influenced by financial aid in the form of work-study. Lastly, results of this research indicate the Return on Athletics® data initiative is a viable tool for analyzing factors that influence student athlete success. Based on the findings of this research, this paper includes recommendations for continued and improved Return on Athletics® data collection. Additionally, recommendations are provided for targeting student athlete success initiatives at specific sub-groups of the population who may be particularly at risk for retention issues. Finally, in an effort to build on this research and advance student athlete academic success, suggestions for future research are included.
