The Relationship Between Extracurricular Activities and Academic Achievement in American High School Students

Pages : 23
Book Description
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 Description
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 Description
Abstract: Schools are responsible for providing a well-rounded education for its students. One method in accomplishing this goal is to provide extracurricular activities. Memphis City Schools, therefore, supports school extracurricular activities on the elementary level that place the highest priority on academic achievement and character development. A developing body of research suggests that there are benefits for students who participate in extracurricular activities. Past research suggests that parents' involvement contributes to children's affective experience of extracurricular participation. In the present study, The Determination of Parental Support of Extracurricular Activities Scale (DPSEA), adopted from the Parental Involvement Activities Scale (PIAS), was designed to solicit the degree of parental support involvement in their child's participation in extracurricular activities. Participants in this study were 355 third to fifth grade students (N =355). Several important results were found in this study: (1) Student perceptions of involvement in extracurricular activities indicated that overall 3 rd, 4 th, and 5 th grade students exhibited positive responses in regards to their perceptions about extracurricular activities; (2) Parental perceptions of involvement in extracurricular activities indicated that overall parents of 3 rd, 4 th, and 5 th grade students significantly supported the participation of their children in extracurricular activities; (3) Specifically, 3 rd and 5 th and 4 th and 5 th grade parents accounted for significant differences between their positive and negative attitude with regards to participation of their children in extracurricular activities; and (4) Although relationships between intermediate students' degree of participation and types of extracurricular activities were found not to be significant, there was a mostly positive correlation between parental support and students' degree, number, and types of participation in extracurricular activities. Relationships between intermediate students' degree, number, and types of participation in extracurricular activities and the perceived degree of parental support for student participation in extracurricular activities were examined Results of the present study suggest that parents play a key role in their children's experience in participating in extracurricular activities.
