Dougherty, Robyn G. Ms. "Social Disorganization, Extra-Curricular Activities, and Delinquency." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2015. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/2476.
Full textAbstract:
Neighborhood social disorganization has been found to be related to crime and deviance. In explaining this relationship, most have focused on specific factors of informal social control and collective efficacy. Using data from the 2000 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (n = 12,800), the relationship between social disorganization and delinquent outcomes was examined by looking at extra-curricular activities as intervening mechanisms with logistic regression in SPSS. While the effect of social disorganization on delinquency remained significant, results indicated some evidence of mediation when accounting for extra-curricular activity measures predicting binge drinking. Specifically, the coefficient for social disorganization was reduced and significant at a lower threshold once extra-curricular activity measures were added in the models. Also, findings indicated different patterns of relationships found among the various extra-curricular activity categories concerning delinquent outcomes. Unlike other types of extracurricular activities, increased involvement in athletic activities was related to increased participation in delinquency.

Full textAbstract:
Changing perceptions of literacy over the past few decades have produced new approaches to the problem of how best to improve the literacy competence of primary school learners. Literacy remains a continuous problem in South Africa, as learners lack motivation to read or are struggling to read, write, and learn in a language that is unfamiliar to them. Researchers such as Street (2005) believe that literacy should not be viewed only as a set of skills to be mastered, but rather as something which must be understood in its broader social context. In accordance with this theory, the South African organisation PRAESA uses their Nal'ibali campaign to promote 'reading for enjoyment' and the formation of 'reading clubs' in order to improve learners' motivation to read and thus their literacy competence by increasing their exposure to pleasurable reading experiences. In this study it is argued that reading for enjoyment is beneficial to primary school learners' literacy competence as well as their personal and social development. In this study, Grade 5, 6, and 7 learners belonging to the reading club at a primary school in Port Elizabeth were observed over a six-month period. Data was collected through ethnographic observation of the reading club sessions and compiled into a detailed expository and sequential report. This narrative was then analysed in order to determine to what extent the learners had benefited in terms of their development from their participation in the reading club's activities. The analysis of the narrative demonstrated that learners' literacy competence, as well as personal and social skills such as self-confidence and tolerance, had been enhanced by the learners' voluntary participation in enjoyment-centred experiences with literacy. The findings of this study demonstrate that, in under-resourced schools and communities lacking a strong reading culture, an extra-curricular 'reading club' with a focus on reading for enjoyment was able to improve learners' literacy skills and provide opportunities for holistic growth by increasing learners' motivation to read.

Full textAbstract:
Previous research suggested that specialist music teacher was of vital importance to the delivery of high quality music education, both school music lessons and extra-curricular music activities, to our next generation. The present study sets out to test this finding in Hong Kong primary school context. Drawing on a Bourdieusian lens, it suggests that there are strong relationships between (1) habitus, (2) social capital and (3) cultural capital possessed by music teachers and the provision of extra-curricular music activities based on a survey of extra-curricular music activities in a representative sample of Hong Kong primary schools, and on in-depth interviews with ten music teachers. The study findings indicate that the inclusion of specialist music teacher is associated with five out of sixteen types of extra-curricular music activities and a significant difference between the mean numbers of extra-curricular music activities offered by schools with specialist music teacher and schools without specialist music teacher. The nature and consequences of these findings are then analyzed based on the Bourdieusian approach. The present study recognizes that specialist and non-specialist music teacher acts the same way when making choices among different kinds of extra-curricular music activities according to our qualitative findings. The present study concludes that _,311' music teachers - are 'dominated-dominant' within the sub-field of the provision of extra-curricular music activities in Hong Kong primary schools. Implications for policy makers, school administrators and music teachers are given towards the end of this study.

Thomas, Laura Tennille. "Extra-curricular activity participation, connectedness to school and cigarette and alcohol use : how the relationships work." Thesis, Edith Cowan University, Research Online, Perth, Western Australia, 2010. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/theses/1865.
Full textAbstract:
The Extra-curricular Project (ECP) was a group randomised control trial which sought to explore the impact of extra-curricular activity (ECA) participation on health and educational outcomes for secondary students attending 18 Government and non- Government schools in Perth, Western Australia. This naturalistic observation study (2004-2006) monitored students‟ participation in ECA provided by their school, perceived connectedness to school, teachers and peers and cigarette and alcohol consumption. In this study, ECA are defined as activities students choose to do (not compulsory), are fun and are not part of normal classroom work. The four main types of extra-curricular activities in this study are: sport, recreation, the arts, and other.
The main aim of this doctoral study was to test if a reduction in smoking and alcohol use occurred amongst students who participated in ECA compared to non-participants. Three sub-studies were conducted to explore the research concepts. First, student and school-level characteristics associated with students‟ ECA participation in Year 8 were explored. Second, the contribution of connectedness to teachers and peer support to students‟ perceived connectedness to school in Year 8 was investigated. Third, the longitudinal relationship between ECA participation in Years 8 and 9 and perceived connectedness to school in Year 10 was examined.
Much research in the field of ECA has been cross-sectional in study design, limiting the investigation of causal relationships between key variables. This study sought to address this gap by examining the impact of ECA participation in Years 8 and 9 on students‟ perceived connectedness to school in Year 10. Consistency of students‟ ECA participation across Years 8 and 9 positively influenced students‟ later connectedness to school. Hence, participation in both Years 8 and 9 (consistent participation), not only in Year 8, yields beneficial outcomes for students in relation to their perceived connectedness to school.
The three sub-studies contributed to the overarching research question exploring the relationship between ECA participation and cigarette and alcohol use, and the role of connectedness to school as a mediator in this relationship. Students who reported a higher perceived level of connectedness to school were less likely to report recent or lifetime cigarette use and recent or recent hazardous alcohol use in Year 10. Moreover, mediation analyses identified that while consistent participation in ECA was not in and of itself protective of recent cigarette smoking, if through consistent ECA participation students‟ perceived connectedness to school was enhanced, this was protective of students‟ reported recent cigarette use in Year 10.
These findings suggest much can be done to reduce adolescents‟ risk of cigarette and alcohol use. First students should be assisted to develop a strong connectedness to their school to reduce their likelihood of cigarette and alcohol use. ECA participation is one way to enhance students‟ connectedness to school, but every opportunity to do so should be explored. In addition, the modification of ECA programs in Western Australian schools to encourage continued participation in multiple activities is likely to enhance students‟ connectedness to school and thus reduce the likelihood of cigarette and alcohol use.

"A Study of the Effect of School-Sponsored, Extra-Curricular Activities on High School Students' Cumulative Grade Point Average, SAT Score, ACT Score, and Core Curriculum Grade Point Average." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2001. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2879/.
Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the effect of school-sponsored, extra-curricular activities on academic achievement for students at a private school in north central Texas. Students selected for this study were graduates from the classes of 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, and 2000. With a minimum participation of two years during grades nine through twelve, students were categorized into subgroups of activities. After eliminating students who participated in more than one of the extra-curricular activities of music, drama, visual arts, and athletics, three hundred sixty-one students were represented. The identity of students was encoded and information was recorded for gender, school-sponsored, extra- curricular activities, cumulative grade point averages, SAT Scores, ACT Scores, and cumulative grade point averages in core curriculum subjects. A two-way ANOVA test with a two-by-five factorial design was completed for research questions one through four. A one-way ANOVA with a one-by-five factorial design was completed for research question five. When a significant F was found, Scheffe and LSD post hoc tests were completed to determine pair wise interaction. Statistical differences did exist when comparing school-sponsored, extra-curricular activities and cumulative grade point averages with musicians having a significantly higher cumulative grade point average, SAT scores, and ACT scores than athletes. A significant difference was found among the activity subgroups regarding the cumulative grade point averages in the core curriculum subjects of foreign language, history/English (an interdisciplinary subject at the studied school), mathematics, and science with musicians scoring significantly higher than athletes in all subjects. It is recommended that further studies be conducted to investigate the impact of activities on student achievement. Studies might include larger and different populations, the impact of participation at a younger age, and the impact of other activities on student achievement.

Full textAbstract:
Research has indicated extra-curricular activities (ECAs) to be beneficial to those who participate in them. These potential benefits relate to students’ academic, social and emotional and physical development. Despite the common occurrence of ECAs in English secondary schools, there is a lack of research in this specific area. Much of the existing literature appears to omit what motivates students, both in their participation and choice of ECAs. This research, adopting a multi-informant approach, aimed to provide further insights into ECAs within the context of English secondary schools. The research aimed to provide greater clarity as to how school-based ECAs may be defined and their rationale. The research also aimed to provide further insight into their potential associated benefits and the motivation of students who choose to participate in them. Forty-eight participants (20 students- aged 11-15, 14 parents, 10 ECA leaders and 4 senior leaders) across four schools, in a south-east England county, were interviewed using semi-structured interviews. Each interview was transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. Fifteen main themes, which related to four research questions, emerged from the analysis. The current findings indicated a wide variation in the availability, type and context of ECAs taking pace in English secondary schools. The findings also highlighted ECAs as potential environmental contexts to further support students’ academic, personal, social and physical development, as well as influencing parent views. Students’ participation in ECAs was found to be influenced by a range of factors- who was involved, individual differences, perceived associated benefits and individual features of the ECAs. There were a number of implications for Educational Psychologists’ (EPs) emerging from this research. These related to: EPs exploring students’ learning and social, emotional and mental health in ECAs, EPs developing schools’ awareness and understanding of school-based ECAs and EPs highlighting features of ECAs which help to create a positive learning environment.

Taking advantage of the data from Academia Sinica’s Taiwan Education Panel Survey (TEPS), this thesis investigates whether participating in extra-curricular activities affects senior high school students’ academic performance. The main finding is that participating in extra-curricular activities is beneficial for adolescents’ academic performance. There were 12,711 effective samples. They are verified by Descriptive Statistics, Crosstab, and Hierarchical Regression. The major finding is that compared with those who don’t spend time on extra-curricular activities, participating in extra-curricular activities regularly is positively associated with significant improvement in academic performance for high school students. Other minor findings include: (1) Adolescents who are girls are more likely to participate in extra- curricular activities. Those who live in townships are more likely to participate in extra- curricular activities, and those whose fathers are highly-educated are more likely to participate in extra- curricular activities. (2) Girls are more likely to be interested in arts clubs, followed by academic clubs. Boys choose sports clubs more, and arts clubs are their second choice. Senior high school students in villages and townships are more interested in sports clubs, while those from metropolis tend to participate in arts’. Adolescents whose fathers are highly-educated are interested in arts’ and academic activities and least interested in sports’. (3) Students participate in extra-curricular activities regularly every week --- girls more than boys, public school students more than their private counterparts. Those whose fathers are highly-educated participate in extra-curricular activities more regularly. (4) Different extra- curricular activities have different impact on academic performance.

The purpose of this study was to explore the current situation of extra curricular activities participation and emotional intelligence of elementary school students in grade 5-6. Furthermore, to compare the differences among them. Questionnaire survey was administered in this study. With the research instrument of ”Emotion Management Questionnaire of Children”, the subjects of this research were 437 grade fifth-sixth-grade school students in one of the public elementary school in Taipei City. The statistical methods included descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA. And, the major findings were summarized as follows: 1.The participation rate of two major extra curricular activities - sports and music were more than half(51.7%), and sports participants were nearly twice times of music participants. Average participation frequency were more than 4 hours per week, and average seniorities were around 2.7 years. 2.Boys preferred sports activities, compared to girls. In light of fathers’ job, the difference were also significant for activities participation and frequency. Students whose fathers with professional jobs showed in medium or high participation frequency, and those with technical jobs showed in no or low participation. The results from mothers’ job analysis were likewise. 3.The emotional intelligence of grade 5-6 school students were good. The girls perform better than boys, except emotion effectiveness. In light of father’s job, the difference in emotional intelligence of school students were also significant, semi-technical job was the worst. The results from mother’s job analysis were similar on “awareness” and “overall emotional intelligence”. 4.For Boys, the ability ”awareness” were better for sport activities participants than no sports participants. For girls, the ability “emotional effectiveness” for sports activities participants were better than music activities participants and no participants. And, in terms of sports participation, the ability of “responsive”, “emotional effectiveness” and “overall emotional intelligence” for participants were better than no participants. The conclusions of this research were generalized as follows: First of all, more than half of grade 5-6 school students participated in extra curricular activities. Sports activities were popular, it was helpful for the SH150 program recently required by the Ministry of Education, since the emotional intelligence of sport participants were better than others. Secondly, program participation and school students’ emotional intelligence were significantly different according to parents’ jobs. Family styles, economic situation and time distribution are key points to improve activity participation. Finally, from the observation of sport and music activities participation, the strategy of program management stratgy and curricular design concepts would affect students’ participation. The researcher put forward following suggestions: 1.The school could provide multi-dimensional extra curricular activities for students, especially for those students whose parents has different occupations. 2.The administration organizations of education could combined the learning resources to improve the participation of school students. 3.For the future studies, increasing the variety of different socioeconomic research objects were sugguested.

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between vocational students’ participation in extra curricular activities and their academic achievements. The methodology used in this study was questionnaire survey. The population of the study was the full time student at vocational high school in Taiwan in 2004. The samples consisted of 1200 students who were selected by disproportional stratified cluster random sampling techniques. The total number of usable sets of instrument was 1003 and the rate of the usable returned was 83.6%. The research instrument was the self developed questionnaire which was revised by scholars and tested by item analysis and faction analysis. The overall Cronbach α was .9472.Based on the statistic analysis and study results, the findings are summarized as follows: 1. The associations students participate in most often are in connection with sports. The associations which students participate have the least interest in are related to volunteer work and academic research. 2. Vocational students only attend club activities in prescribed time. They do not spend extracurricular time on them. 3. There are distinguished differences among this variable— gender, time spent on club activities and the number of activities in a week. 4. In terms of gender, girls take more enthusiastic attitude toward the club activities than boys. In terms of grades, the higher grades students are in, the higher expectations they place on the wishes to be club leaders. 5. Parents’ education background and family economy do not cause any effect on the degree of students’ participation. 6. There are no distinguished differences between parents’ education background and the following factors—moral, academic, practical and physical achievements. 7. There are obvious differences between students’ family economy and their moral, academic and physical achievements. However, family economy doesn’t have notable effect on their interpersonal relations, thinking models, and leisure learning. 8. In terms of the whole achievements, vocational students whose parents possess college degrees have better achievements. 9. This study shows a distinguished correlation between students’ participation in school associations and their academic achievement. The Pearson factor was .780. That is, the more time students are engaged in club activities, the higher academic achievements they have. Based on the study result, some suggestions are proposed to be the reference materials of administrative organizations, schools, teachers, students, and further research.

This study aims to investigate the influence of extracurricular activities (henceforth: EA) on people who are making career choices, specifically for those anticipating the contents of new jobs as the extension of EA. In this study, three qualified participants were invited to share their stories of career as extension of EA, and each narration was recorded via semi-structure questionnaire with in-depth interview. Later, each narration was transcribed and then was analyzed under the “holistic-content” narrative approach. It is discovered that three participants share identical background factors as follows, revealed in the narrative data: (1) They chose a major as to meet social expectations. (2) EAs offer unlimited space for self-exploration. (3) Career exploration is processed unobtrusively and naturally. (4) Career crucially extends from the memories of unforgettable events of extra-curricular activities. The triggers for three participants to choose an extracurricular-activity-extended career are given as follows: (1) EA experiences provide alternatives for career choices. (2) A turning point occurred in EA leads to abandon their original believes and thoughts. (3) Experiences of EA help to develop their life philosophy and perspectives. (4) A brave new choice needs strong supports from behind. It is further found out that participants with fruitful EA experiences possess two major attitudes toward their life and career: (1) They believe that it is the EA experiences that enlighten the core belief of their own. (2) They are satisfied with the current life and job, despite the fact that they are continuingly facing new challenges and difficulties. Finally, this study offer suggestion to student affairs offices, college students, professional helper and further researches and present my reflections.

The need for future employees to show skill beyond that of “hard” knowledge is growing in several industries of the job market. To address the changing expectations of future employers and to guarantee a prosperous professional life, higher education institutions (HEI) are making increasing efforts to provide their students with soft skills, which go beyond that of the traditional courses’ curriculum. Therefore, HEIs are faced with the challenge of teaching transversal competencies to their students while ensuring that their development is authenticated and valued by employing organizations. To this end, open badging and micro-credentials are increasingly being employed, since they provide an answer for both the need for soft skill validation and for motivating their development. Digital badges have been subject to educational research in recent years, with results which point to a successful relationship between gamification, badges and learning outcomes. This work aims to further this research by establishing a theoretical framework for implementing a digital badge strategy to encourage students to perform activities that promote the development of soft skills. Our findings will inform the creation of a badge system suited be adapted and applied to various learning contexts and institutions.A necessidade de trabalhadores demonstrarem competências para além das de conhecimento técnico está a aumentar em diversas indústrias no mercado de trabalho. Para encarar as crescentes expectativas de futuros empregadores e garantir um futuro profissional mais próspero, as instituições de ensino superior (IES) estão a investir cada vez mais na aquisição de competências transversais por parte dos seus estudantes, que vão para além das do currículo tradicional. Deste modo, as IES estão perante o desafio de ensinar competências transversais aos seus alunos ao mesmo tempo que procuram assegurar que o seu desenvolvimento é autenticado e valorizado por organizações empregadoras. Observa-se, para este fim, uma crescente adoção de “Open Badges” e micro-credenciais, visto que estas oferecem uma solução tanto para a necessidade de validação de competências transversais como para a motivação para a sua aprendizagem por parte dos alunos. Durante os últimos anos, os crachás digitais têm sido alvo de investigação educacional, cujo resultado aponta para uma relação proveitosa entre gamificação, crachás e resultados de aprendizagem. Este trabalho tem como objetivo expandir essa investigação ao estabelecer um enquadramento que sirva para a implementação de uma estratégia de crachás digitais para encorajar alunos a realizarem atividades que promovam o desenvolvimento de competências transversais. Os resultados deste estudo poderão ainda ser utilizados para guiar a construção de um sistema de crachás apto para se adaptar a vários contextos de aprendizagem e instituições.

Dissertação de mestrado em Estudos da Criança (área de especialização em Associativismo e Animação Sociocultural)A presente dissertação insere-se no âmbito do mestrado em Estudos da Criança na especialidade de Associativismo e Animação Sociocultural. Este trabalho consiste num estudo de caso e tem como objectivo conhecer a natureza das actividades desenvolvidas nas Actividades de Enriquecimento Curricular (AEC), tipo de posicionamento que a criança assume nas mesmas, bem como perceber através das vozes dos professores das AEC, dos professores titulares de turma e das crianças as alterações que estas vieram provocar nos tempos de vida da criança, as influências no comportamento e rendimento escolar. Este estudo de caso realizou-se no ano de 2008 num estabelecimento de ensino público, com alunos do 1º ciclo do ensino básico. Os instrumentos de recolha de dados utilizados foram os inquéritos, utilizados com os alunos, os professores titulares de turma e os das AEC. Os resultados encontrados permitiram-nos perceber, antes de mais que são vistas de forma diferenciada por cada um dos actores participantes do estudo: as crianças gostam sobretudo pelo contacto com colegas, professores e auxiliares de acção educativa, mas desejariam que abarcassem outras actividades livres e, sobretudo, mais tempos de recreio. Os seus professores das AEC consideram que elas são lúdicas, motivadoras e interessantes, embora desenvolvidas em espaços não apropriados. Os professores titulares de turma sentem-nas como tendo influência no rendimento escolar, perturbadoras do comportamento dos seus alunos, mas benéficas e lúdicas. De uma forma geral pode dizer-se, a partir do trabalho, que a implementação e desenvolvimento das referidas Actividades implicaram alterações nos tempos de vida das crianças, diminuindo-lhes os seus tempos de brincadeira e de estar com a família e para o estudo individualizado, em casa. Influenciaram, ainda, os seus comportamentos e o rendimento escolar, uma vez que um dos dados que surgem no decorrer da investigação dá conta da menor concentração e capacidade de atenção das crianças e da maior exaltação com que regressam à sala de aula.

This work is about a study case which took place in 2008 with basic students. The methodology has a quality approach. The data were the inquiries to students and teachers. The results allowed us to realize that the development of such activities changed the time in children`s lives, it reduced their free time, their family time, their study time, their behavior and school results, found in less concentration and attention. This way students see these activities as an amusement time which they enjoy because of the relationship with his mates, teachers, and clerks, and they which to enclose other activities, mainly in their free time. Their teachers feel they are motivating and interesting, although not in appropriate time. Nominal teachers feel them as a source of better school results, upsetting behaviours but good in developed activities.

Um dos paradigmas da sociedade de informação e conhecimento incide na mobilização
de competências-chave, relacionadas com a obtenção de competências de leitura, de
escrita, de cálculo mas sobretudo de reflexividade, ou como categoriza António Firmino
da Costa (2003), competências operatórias, auto-orientadoras e relacionais. Uma das
competências mais relevantes e estruturantes da vida em sociedade é a literacia, pela
recorrente necessidade dos indivíduos em interpretar materiais escritos na vida
quotidiana, e intensificando-se pela emancipação das Tecnologias de Informação e
Comunicação. A literacia tem vindo a ser tratada no seu nível conceptual e metodológico,
com o intuito de definir as competências de leitura, de estrita e de numeracia,
efetivamente acionadas pela população adulta.
Para Philippe Perrenoud (2003), a competência é tratada enquanto processo de
mobilização ou ativação de recursos- “conhecimentos, capacidades, estratégias- em
diversos tipos de situações e especialmente em situações problemáticas.” Existe por isso
a articulação entre saberes, aprendizagem e a experiência relativamente à sua utilização.
A abordagem por competências tem penetrado o tecido escolar através da necessidade
em dar sentido às aprendizagens adquiridas na escola, privilegiando a prática, a
capacidade para agir e os contextos de ação.
As Atividades de Complemento Curricular são tratadas e inseridas legalmente nos
currículos escolares, como forma de integração de contextos que privilegiam a ação dos
estudantes. São tratadas enquanto fontes de enriquecimento dos saberes e de
mobilização de competências valorizadas pela escola, nomeadamente na obtenção de
desempenhos académicos elevados e na construção de um sentido mais positivo em
relação à escola. Desta forma, pretende-se compreender os tipos de acesso às ACC e
como poderão mobilizar o desempenho académico dos estudantes, ao ponto de estes se
sentirem mais integrados no universo escolar. Metodologicamente foi utilizado um estudo
de caso numa escola secundária na região de Lisboa, concretizado através de uma
pesquisa quantitativa, através da aplicação de inquéritos por questionário aos alunos
para obtenção de informações relativamente ao estatuo socioeconómico, aos diversos
tipos de prática em ACC e ao grau de satisfação com a escola. A principal conclusão foi
que os alunos que praticam actualmente, ou seja que mantêm uma prática ativa em ACC,
possuem níveis elevados de desempenho escolar, tal como elevados níveis de satisfação,
relacionados com vários aspectos da escola.One of the paradigms of information and knowledge society focuses on mobilizing key skills related to the acquisition of reading skills, writing, calculation but especially of reflexivity, or as categorizes António Firmino da Costa (2003), operative skills, selforiented and relational skills. One of the most relevant skills is literacy, by the applicant need of individuals in interpreting written materials in a multiple set of situations in the quotidian, intensified by the emancipation of Information and Communication Technologies. Literacy has been treated in a conceptual and methodological level in order to define the reading skills, writing and numeracy skils, effectively driven by the adult population, in order to resolve problems successfully in everyday life. For Philippe Perrenoud (2003), competence is treated as a process of mobilization or activation of resources- "knowledge, skills, strategies- in various types of situations and especially in problematic situations." There is therefore the link between knowledge, learning and experience on use. The competence approach has penetrated the school fabric through the need to give meaning to learning acquired in school, focusing on practice, the ability to act and action contexts. The Curriculum Additional activities are treated legally and inserted into school curricula as a way of integration contexts that favor the action of the students. They are treated as enriching sources of knowledge and mobilization skills valued by the school, particularly in achieving high academic performance and building a more positive direction in relation to the school. In this way, we intend to understand the types of access to ACC and how they can mobilize the academic performance of students, to the point where they feel more integrated into the school environment. Methodologically it was used a case study at a upper secondary school in the region of Lisbon, achieved through a quantitative research, by applying questionnaire surveys to students to obtain information about the socio-economic statute, the various types of practice in ACC and the degree of satisfaction with the school. The main conclusion was that students that are maintaining an active practice in ACC have high levels of school performance, such as high levels of satisfaction related to various aspects of the school.

TITLE: Use of children extra-curricular experience during schoole ducation AUTHOR: Ilona Kaletová DEPARTMENT: Department of the primary pedagogy SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Anna Tomková, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: This diploma thesis deals with the possible use of out-of-school experiences of children in school education. In its first part, I will compare formal and informal education. I will look for similarity and difference and, above all, the contribution of non- formal education to formal education. Specifically, I will focus on the non-profit organization The Woodcraft League. At the end of this part, I will compare the formal education and lifelong education of the examined children's organization. The practical part is specifically focused on the village school and the children's tribe that I lead. Using the observation method and interviews with teachers and pupils visiting the examined club, I will look for the benefit of the children's tribe for pupils in the village elementary school. Apart from that, I organize thematic units at school that expect the possibility of using out-of.school experiences of children in school education. The result of this diploma thesis is that the school pupils do benefit from the children's tribe. However, the degree and intensity may differ, depending on the interests of the individual...

The purpose of this research study was to investigate the need parents who are home schooling may have for knowledge and assistance to enhance the social development of their children. Findings from an initial investigation into the literature indicated that peer relations and extra-curricular activities may provide opportunities for socialization in children. Informal rating scales measuring social developmental trends and relationships with others were used to obtain data from parents and children regarding the social development of the children. Furthermore, data were obtained during focus group and individual interviews, from questionnaires and children's drawings. Results from the literature study and empirical investigation resulted in a body of knowledge that would assist home schooling parents to provide opportunities for the adequate social development of their children. It can be concluded that home schooled children would find interaction with peers and participation in extra-curricular activities beneficial for their social development.Educational Studies
