This book was released on 2014 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Athletic participation is a major component of the high school experience for many students across the country, yet in difficult economic times athletic funding is often the first area reduced when education budgets need to be balanced. These cuts are usually performed without data on or inquiry into the relationship between athletic participation and academic achievement. If a relationship could be proven, advocates of athletics would have a stronger argument for the preservation of funding. This study utilized a quantitative, causal-comparative design to examine the relationship between athletic participation and academic achievement. Grade point averages of students who participated in high school athletics three years in a row were compared with those of students who did not participate for three years in a row. The study focused on the growth rate, or change in grade point average over the three years, in order to make a stronger argument that differences in achievement between the two groups could be attributed to participation (or lack of participation). On average, the achievement of athletes was significantly higher than that of non-participants during the first year, but athletes lost some of this advantage over the course of the study, meaning that they experienced negative growth. Non-participants did experience positive growth that was statistically significant, however the effect size was small, meaning that the practical significance is minimal. Based on the results of the study, it is difficult to make the argument that athletics are linked to improved academic achievement. While athletic participation can still be considered part of the overall education of students with numerous benefits such as the development of leadership and teamwork skills, these benefits do not seem to translate to the classroom. Because the practical significance is low, there are no recommendations based on the results of this study in relation to funding or policy changes, although school districts may want to consider making the funding of activities proven to have a direct link to improved academic achievement their top priority. Future research in this area should continue to focus on growth rate rather than overall performance and attempt to first duplicate these results at additional sites. The rate of participation (number of sports played) should also be introduced to the conversation as it may affect results. Future studies may also wish to investigate why the rate of academic growth was so low for all students.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although there are educational benefits resulting from participation in sports, African American students do not always experience positive outcomes. The purpose of this causal comparative study was to investigate the effect of athletic participation on the academic achievement of African American high school male students. Descriptive statistics and archival data, consisting of grade point averages and ACT scores of student-athletes and non-athletes from six high schools in a large urban public school, were collected and analyzed. Results indicated there were no statistically significant differences between the grade point averages and ACT scores of student-athletes and non-athletes. Findings suggested opportunities to participate in athletics should be offered to all high school students. Recommendations for future research have been provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to analyze the grade point average of student athletes versus that of non-student athletes. The research conducted produced answers to the following questions. "Do student athletes have a higher GPA than non-athletes?", "Is there a significant difference in the grades of athletes and non-athletes?", and "What effects do athletics have on student's grades?" Statistics for this research product were provided by a Midwest suburban school district. Microsoft Excel and A Statistical Program (ASP) software were used to analyze the provided data. A t-test was used to challenge the null hypothesis. Findings from the study indicated that there was a significant difference in the GPA of athletes vs. non-athletes. The group of athletes was determined to have a higher GPA, averaging 3.25. The non-athletes averaged a GPA of 3.01, significantly lower than the athletes.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This causal-comparative study with a narrative component investigated the effect athletic participation on the academic achievement of senior student-athletes and non-athletes who attended three public high schools in Eastern Tennessee. The impetus for the study was the conflicting research as it relates to the impact athletics participation had on academic success at the college and high school levels. Through student athlete and non-athlete comparisons of ACT scores and GPAs, the researcher found athletic participation did not affect academic achievement for high school seniors who graduated in 2009 from the three target high schools when compared to non-athletes. However, statistically significant and extremely significant differences were found when the ACT scores and GPAs of the male and female student- athletes were compared. Data was also collected from the target high schools' teaching staffs. The Likert scale survey items and open-ended responses from the target high schools' teachers revealed the following regarding the academic achievement of senior student-athletes: the effect of athletic participation was positive, school systems directly affect the academic achievement of senior student- athletes, parental involvement directly affects academic achievement, athletic participation and academic achievement was important in the target school community, and the effect of athletic participation on the AYP measurement was positive.

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

In addition, sixth and seventh grade athletes had a significantly higher grade point average than non-athletes, while the eighth grade athletes were significantly higher only in two grading periods. The findings, also, determined that no significant difference could be found between the in-season and out-of-season grade point averages of athletes.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the purpose of this study, students were divided into categories depending on if they participated in athletics and by sex. These students' passage percentage on the Social Studies portion of the Alabama High School Graduation Exam (AHSGE) was compared to attempt to determine if participation in athletics had an effect on the passage rate. The Pearson Chi-Square formula was used to determine the p-value of the results. The results indicated that male and female students that were involved in athletics had higher passage rates on the Social Studies portion of the AHSGE. The results came from a research site in southeast Alabama.
