Book Description
"The purpose of this study was to determine the effects on self-concept of those students exposed to outdoor adventure activities as opposed to those students exposed to the more "traditional" forms of education (i.e. lecture method of teaching). The study was conducted Spring Quarter 1977, at Eastern Washington University, at Cheney, Washington. The study population consisted of four classes. These classes were: Cultural Anthropology 101, Wilderness Living 206, Survival Education 315, and Outdoor Leadership 410. The Cultural Anthropology class was the control group utilizirtg the "traditional" style of college teaching (lecture method). The remaining three classes were the "treated groups" in which the students were exposed to various outdoor adventure activities, such as rappelling, survival training, rock climbing, and solo. During the first week of Spring Quarter, 1977, all the subjects were given a pre-test, utilizing the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale. Post tests were given to the participants, utilizing the Tennessee Self-Concept Scale, during the last week of Spring Quarter, 1977. Data was analyzed using the t test as the measuring instrument. Data computation produced three major findings. These findings were: (1)Class means suggested a positive change in self-concept through the Total Positive Score (TP), for all the classes featuring outdoor adventure activities. (2) Statistically significant levels of change, for the Total Positive Score (TP) were not achieved. As a result, the first null hypothesis was accepted. The first null hypothesis stated that there would be no statistically significant differences in the Total Positive Score (TP) between the "treated groups", exposed to outdoor adventure activities, and the control group, featuring "traditional" educational methods. (3) Statistically significant levels of change, for the Self- Criticism Score (SC) were not achieved. This factor supported the second null hypothesis. The second null hypothesis stated that there would be no statistically significant differences in the Self-Criticism Scores (SC) between the "treated groups", exposed to outdoor adventure activities and the control group, featuring "traditional" educational methods"--Document.
