Heather, I like that you are going to do surveys for both students and coaches. What kinds of things are you going to have on the surveys? Are the students surveys going to include factors outside of the school setting that affect achievement? Perhaps an anonymous survey will provide better results if you are including information that revolves around "home life"...some students might be embarrassed to share that information if they are being identified.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing how it goes.
Heather, I am very interested in your topic. I am a former coach and saw many of my athletes perform well academically during season, but seemed to drop the rest of the year. One thing I would consider with your survey is to have a place where they (coaches and students) can input personal comments etc. This might be a way to gather further insight into other reasons (besides seasonal sports) that they may slip academically when not currently in season. Sometimes the open comments section may provide information that you had not even considered. Just a thought...
ReplyDeleteI think you have picked a very interesting topic. The fact that some students perform well academically during in-season, but not out-of-season could be related to many factors. I like the fact that you are surveying both the students and the coaches. This will give you insight from two different angles. I look forward to following your research.
