ASSESSMENT OF CAMPUS RECREATIONAL SPORT PROGRAMS

Student development and health issues among college students are becoming a major concern for academic institutions. To address these issues, universities offer campus recreational sport programs that encourage physical activity and healthy lifestyles. There is a robust literature regarding the benefits of general campus recreation participation; however, little research has explored participants’ perception of benefits related to certain campus recreation programming. This study examined data from Intramural Sports and Sport Club participants at a northern New England university (n = 324). Survey questions assessed students’ transferable skills and general health perceptions. Results indicated that several transferable skills and health perceptions are significantly different between genders within program types. Findings support the need to continue researching collegiate services to ensure students receive an equal opportunity to enjoy the benefits of campus recreation programming. Preliminary study findings and their implications for university administrators and staff will be discussed

'Learning Styles' and 'Approaches to Studying' in Sports-Related Programmes: Relationships to Academic Achievement and Implications for Successful Learning, Teaching and Assessment: Project Report Summary

There are relatively few recent investigations that have addressed the issues of preferred learning styles and approaches to studying in sports-related disciplines such as: Sports Studies; Sports and Exercise Science; Coaching Science; Sport and Leisure Management and Outdoor Recreation Management. The purpose of this study was therefore to examine student learning across a range of sport-related programmes at a UK University College. It applied tools from two related, but different, educational research paradigms: approaches to learning and learning styles analysis. Thus, these differing means of researching student learning were tested against the same student group. Results were compared to students’ perceptions of their own developing autonomy of learning and achieved grades; insights were generated into the particular learning approaches and styles of sports students; and tentative recommendations are made on the implications of the findings for higher education teachers seeking to promote improvements in the learning of sports subjects
