Book excerpt: Pre-University Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Pedagogy - General, grade: 1.0, , language: English, abstract: This study was undertaken to find out what are the common experiences of students in participating extra-curricular activities. Also this study aims to know on how students cope up the difficulties they’ve experienced while joining extra-curricular activities. Only fifteen selected students are involved in the research, thus we recommend that they must gather more respondents in order for them to generalize the views and experiences of the students for having an extra-curricular in school. Based on the data that we gathered from all of our respondents that are involved in extra-curricular activities, many of them share the same experiences regarding their participation on ECA. They gain experiences that positively affect them and can be used to improve and enhance not only their grades but their skills and their personality as a student and as a person. For all the students who have extra-curricular activities, researchers recommend that if they will involve to this kind of activity, they should balance their time management in order to not affect their academic performance. In addition, for students who wants to have extra-curricular activities, we recommend that they should prioritize their academics first before other things so that they could not suffer difficulties especially when it comes to projects, assignments and tests.

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.

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Extracurricular Activities and Academic Achievement in American High School Students by : Michael R. Westenberger
Download or read book The Relationship Between Extracurricular Activities and Academic Achievement in American High School Students written by Michael R. Westenberger and published by . 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.
Book Synopsis The Effect of Participation in Extracurricular Activities on Academic Achievement in Science by : Rebecca Geraldine Kromer

This book was released on 2008 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose ofthis study was to determine if a relationship exists between participation in extracurricular activities and academic achievement in high school. The study also attempted to discover if a relationship exists between the types of activities (athletic or nonathletic) and academic achievement in science. Finally, the study analyzed the relationship between participation in extracurricular activities and academic achievement in college preparatory science classes. A survey was administered to a sample ofstudents in a high school in Southern California. A chisquared test was used to analyze data from all three areas ofresearch to determine if the relationship was significant. The results showed that there is a small but significant increase in student's grades in science who participate in extracurricular activities as compared to those students who do not participate in extracurricular activities. It was also found that the type of extracurricular activity (athletic or nonathletic) does not have an effect on the grades students received in science courses nor did participation in extracurricular activities increase the chances of academic achievement in college preparatory science courses.
Book Synopsis Academically Adrift by : Richard Arum
Download or read book Academically Adrift written by Richard Arum and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2011-01-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In spite of soaring tuition costs, more and more students go to college every year. A bachelor’s degree is now required for entry into a growing number of professions. And some parents begin planning for the expense of sending their kids to college when they’re born. Almost everyone strives to go, but almost no one asks the fundamental question posed by Academically Adrift: are undergraduates really learning anything once they get there? For a large proportion of students, Richard Arum and Josipa Roksa’s answer to that question is a definitive no. Their extensive research draws on survey responses, transcript data, and, for the first time, the state-of-the-art Collegiate Learning Assessment, a standardized test administered to students in their first semester and then again at the end of their second year. According to their analysis of more than 2,300 undergraduates at twenty-four institutions, 45 percent of these students demonstrate no significant improvement in a range of skills—including critical thinking, complex reasoning, and writing—during their first two years of college. As troubling as their findings are, Arum and Roksa argue that for many faculty and administrators they will come as no surprise—instead, they are the expected result of a student body distracted by socializing or working and an institutional culture that puts undergraduate learning close to the bottom of the priority list. Academically Adrift holds sobering lessons for students, faculty, administrators, policy makers, and parents—all of whom are implicated in promoting or at least ignoring contemporary campus culture. Higher education faces crises on a number of fronts, but Arum and Roksa’s report that colleges are failing at their most basic mission will demand the attention of us all.

Book Synopsis An Examination of the Beliefs of Texas High School Principals on the Impact of Extracurricular Participation on Student Academic Performance by : Joseph L. Nolte
Download or read book An Examination of the Beliefs of Texas High School Principals on the Impact of Extracurricular Participation on Student Academic Performance written by Joseph L. Nolte and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the beliefs of high school principals in Texas on the impact extracurricular participation has on student academic performance. Specifically, feedback from high school principals was sought concerning 1) the significance extracurricular participation has on student academic performance; 2) the leadership efforts on their campus to promote extracurricular participation as a means to support student academic performance; 3) the quantity of extracurricular activities offered on their campus to meet the needs of all students that seek to participate; and 4)the attributes gleaned from participating in extracurricular activities that have the most positive impact on students. Research indicates that extracurricular activities, specifically involvement in sports, has been cited as an indication of higher grades, higher educational aspirations, more internal locus of control and a higher self-concept (Feigin, 1994). Research also claims school administrators have the ability to create and model school norms that cultivate and integrate extracurricular involvement while emphasizing the importance of individual academic achievement (George, 2012). Participants in this study included 173 Texas high school principals representing schools of varying student enrollments. A questionnaire with two questions was issued to the subjects seeking their beliefs on the impact extracurricular participation has on students. Ultimately, three findings ascended as productive results from this research. First, the responses revealed that the principals contributing to this study firmly agreed that extracurricular participation has a positive impact on students. Second, the results from this study showed that the school leaders that participated believe that students receive the greatest impact through extracurricular participation by the relationships those students build and from learning the importance of intangibles such as teamwork and commitment. Lastly, the feedback determined that the perceptions of the principals that participated in the study were generally consistent in their views on the impact extracurricular participation has on students, regardless of the enrollment size of the campus they lead. These three findings could have significance by expanding the body of knowledge related to the potential solutions extracurricular participation presents high school principals when they explore strategies to create support systems for students on their campus.

Book Synopsis The Learning Leader by : Douglas B. Reeves
Download or read book The Learning Leader written by Douglas B. Reeves and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2020-08-31 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We can't do that in our school district." "I don't have time to add that to my curriculum." "We're fighting against impossible odds with these students." Sound familiar? School improvement can often feel like a losing battle, but it doesn't have to be. In this fully revised and updated second edition of The Learning Leader, Douglas B. Reeves helps leadership teams go beyond excuses to capitalize on their strengths, reduce their weaknesses, and reset their mindset and priorities to achieve unprecedented success. A critical key is recognizing student achievement as more than just a set of test scores. Reeves asserts that when leaders focus exclusively on results, they fail to measure and understand the importance of their own actions. He offers an alternative—the Leadership for Learning Framework, which helps leaders identify and distinguish among four different types of educators and provide more effective, tailored support to - "Lucky" educators, who achieve high results but don't understand how their actions influence achievement. - "Losing" educators, who achieve low results yet keep doing the same thing, expecting different outcomes. - "Learning" educators, who have not yet achieved the desired results but are working their way toward excellence. - "Leading" educators, who achieve high results and understand how their actions influence their success. Reeves stresses that effective leadership is neither a unitary skill nor a solitary activity. The Learning Leader helps leaders reconceptualize their roles in the school improvement process and motivate themselves and their colleagues to keep working to better serve their students.
Book Synopsis Race, Extracurricular Participation, and Academic Success Among High School Girls by : Jessica Schachle
Download or read book Race, Extracurricular Participation, and Academic Success Among High School Girls written by Jessica Schachle and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 87 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous literature has noted that an achievement gap exist for students of color. Girls of color are often subjected to higher rates of exclusionary discipline and are often perceived as being disruptive and promiscuous by their teachers and peers. Researchers have found that participation in extracurricular activities has a positive influence on students by promoting positive social interactions with peers and teachers, and thus has the possibility of positively influencing student academic success. The Educational Longitudinal Study was utilized to explore the relationships between extracurricular participation and student academic success, while considering how teacher perceptions and student race may influence these factors. Bivariate analysis found that participating in interscholastic sports and clubs was associated with student GPA, but participation in intramural clubs was negatively related to student GPA. These findings varied by student race. Multivariate analysis indicated that teacher perceptions and participation in extracurricular activities are positively associated with student GPA. Multivariate analysis further revealed that while club participation was negatively associated with teacher perceptions for Latinas, participation in interscholastic sports and clubs was positively associated with GPA after controlling for teacher perceptions. This study expands on the literature that explores how student race influences academic success, while considering how teacher perceptions may play a role.

Book Synopsis America's High School Sophomores by : Kenneth A. Rasinski
Download or read book America's High School Sophomores written by Kenneth A. Rasinski and published by U.S. Government Printing Office. This book was released on 1993 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of high school sophomores in 1980 and 1990 compares the experiences of students in the two cohorts, identifying changes in in-school and out-of-school activities, academic achievement, self-concept, values, plans, and aspirations. Similarities and differences between the two groups are documented using data from the National Education Longitudinal Study of 1988 (NELS:88) and High School and Beyond (HS&B, 1980). HS&B and NELS:88 sophomores are marked by basic demographic differences, including the smaller size of the NELS:88 1990 cohort, reflecting the baby bust of the 1970s, and a higher proportion of racial minority and poverty status sophomores in 1990. NELS:88 sophomores also reflect the influence of various waves of school reform since the late 1970s and early 1980s. Overall, the comparison paints a pictures that is in most respects encouraging in its portrayal of the high school academic orientation and postsecondary expectations of the 1990 sophomore class. Positive changes, however, are typically small or moderate in magnitude. Among the findings are: (1) general and college preparatory program placement has increased, at the expense of vocational program placement; (2) patterns of extracurricular participation changed especially in musical activities (31% in 1980 to 22% in 1990) and in hobby clubs (21% in 1980 to 7% in 1990); (3) changes in sophomores giving high importance to particular life values (e.g., marriage and family 83% rating this as very important in 1980, 72% in 1990); (4) small but statistically significant increase in the number of females aspiring to traditionally male-dominated non-professional occupations (15.6% in 1980 versus 18.% in 1990). Sixteen tables and 13 figures present data from the 2 studies. Three appendixes contain information about the survey sample sizes, standard errors, and other methodological and technical information. Appendix A contains an additional 20 data tables. (Contains 46 references.) (SLD)
