Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of intercollegiate athletic participation and personal and social development of student-athletes at a single higher education institution. The football program studied (FPS) has experienced success both competitively and scholastically. A quantitative case study research design was used to study traditional upperclass students. This study sought to investigate the influence of participation in the FPS on personal and social development outcomes, as measured by the Student Developmental Task and Lifestyle Assessment (SDTLA). The independent variable was participation status in the FPS. The independent variable was compared with personal and social development outcomes, the dependent variables. Upperclass students' SDTLA scores were acquired form the Office of Assessment, Information and Analysis at the participating university. Developmental task, subtask and lifestyle scale scores on the SDTLA (dependent variable data) were recorded as T-scores. Univariate analysis of variance and Multiple Analysis of Variance were computed to check for significant SDTLA differences between FPS participants and non-FPS participants. Lastly, discriminant analysis was used to determine if a person's personal and social development outcomes could predict membership in one of the groups, either a FPS participant or non-FPS participant. According to the descriptive analysis of the SDTLA personal and social development outcomes measured in this study, FPS participants scored higher on average than non-participants on every dependent variable. Non-FPS participants scored within the normal developmental range as compared to seniors in the normative population sample on 13 of the 14 personal and social development outcomes. Further, non-FPS participants scored slightly below the normal developmental range on the Emotional Autonomy subtask. FPS participants scored within the normal developmental range on nine (9) of the 14 dependent variables. On the other five (5) dependent variables, FPS participants scored above the normal developmental range as compared to seniors in the normative population sample. The MANOVA revealed no significant differences among FPS participants and non-FPS participants on personal and social development outcomes. Therefore, taking all 14 personal and social development outcomes into account, there is no overall significant difference among FPS participants and non-FPS participants. However, univariate analysis of variance revealed several significant outcomes. FPS participants were significantly more developed than non-FPS participants on five dependent variables. Finally, a discriminant analysis was conducted to determine the ability of the fourteen dependent variables (personal and social development outcomes of the SDTLA) to predict FPS participation status (participant or non-participant). The analysis generated one function that was not significant.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to better understand the value of the extracurricular experience for college students. Gaining insight into the variety of opportunities for student personal development as a result of participation in intercollegiate athletics and extracurricular activities during college is explored by this study. Quality student engagement activities and understanding the reasons for engagement contributing to personal development continues to be valuable information in development of student on campus programming at colleges and universities. This qualitative study takes a phenomenological approach to describe the experiences of students involved in intercollegiate athletics competition at a small rural serving community college in the Midwest. Through a series of semi-structured interviews of at least (n = 14), students tell their stories of personal development and the contributions that intercollegiate athletics made to their out-of-class experiences. Findings of this study indicate that the participants valued their experiences in participating in intercollegiate athletics, reporting the development of personal pride and a greater sense of self-identity. For the participants in this study, intercollegiate athletics provided an opportunity for increased student engagement and thus contributed to the overall campus environment.

Download or read book Impact of Intercollegiate Athletic Participation on Leadership Development written by Clint Simpson Huntrods and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the effects of athletic participation in intercollegiate athletics on leadership development using a multi-institutional, longitudinal sample of students at four year colleges and universities. Using Astin's Input, Environment, Outcomes model (1991), I examined whether athletic participation influenced leadership development using the Socially Responsible Leadership Scale (SRLS) and its eight independent subscales while controlling for students' background characteristics and institutional characteristics. Using pre-test and post-test data from the Wabash National Study of Liberal Arts Education (WNS), the findings suggest that participation in certain types of athletics can inhibit leadership growth. This study contributes to the literature by breaking utilizing a longitudinal model, study athletes compared to non-athletes and breaking down athletes into categories based upon team and individual sports as well as by the level of contact in their respective sports. Finally, this study has implications for higher education policy, including practical applications for those involved in undergraduate education including coaches, administrators, faculty, staff, and students.

Book excerpt: The hierarchical analysis in multiple regression was employed to identity the best predictors of college satisfaction and revealed that six independent variables significantly predicted the outcome and collectively explained approximately 40% of the variance in college satisfaction. The six variables were gender, Excitement, Emotional Involvement, Pride from Being a Major Collegiate Sport Institution, Pride from Increased Institution Visibility, and Pride Due to Additional Campus Development Efforts. This study provided an important step towards better understanding psychic income, which is one segment of social impact analysis measurement, and should prove useful for college administrators, sport practitioners, and marketers. The findings of this study will help explain why college sport receive increasingly more television air time and also why its business aspect is getting acceptable to the college administrators and entrepreneurs. In addition, the findings of this study will fulfill the call for supplementary construct of college life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Reclaiming the Game, William Bowen and Sarah Levin disentangle the admissions and academic experiences of recruited athletes, walk-on athletes, and other students. In a field overwhelmed by reliance on anecdotes, the factual findings are striking--and sobering. Anyone seriously concerned about higher education will find it hard to wish away the evidence that athletic recruitment is problematic even at those schools that do not offer athletic scholarships. Thanks to an expansion of the College and Beyond database that resulted in the highly influential studies The Shape of the River and The Game of Life, the authors are able to analyze in great detail the backgrounds, academic qualifications, and college outcomes of athletes and their classmates at thirty-three academically selective colleges and universities that do not offer athletic scholarships. They show that recruited athletes at these schools are as much as four times more likely to gain admission than are other applicants with similar academic credentials. The data also demonstrate that the typical recruit is substantially more likely to end up in the bottom third of the college class than is either the typical walk-on or the student who does not play college sports. Even more troubling is the dramatic evidence that recruited athletes "underperform:" they do even less well academically than predicted by their test scores and high school grades. Over the last four decades, the athletic-academic divide on elite campuses has widened substantially. This book examines the forces that have been driving this process and presents concrete proposals for reform. At its core, Reclaiming the Game is an argument for re-establishing athletics as a means of fulfilling--instead of undermining--the educational missions of our colleges and universities.
