Sports in Education <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sports\n in Education is a vital piece of the high school experience. In my \nresearch, I looked at the impact that sports had on the social and \ncognitive development of high school students. Social and cognitive \ndevelopment are closely related; with social development being our \ndevelopment by interreacting with others and cognitive development being\n how we progress with skills such as motor skills, problem solving, and \nmemory. In my study, I present that, overall, sports has\n a positive impact on the social and cognitive development. Sports lets \nstudents fine tune motor skills, enhances long term memory skills by \nlearning a playbook, and helps with decision making. On the social \ndevelopment side, I dive in and find that sports increase the \nself-esteem and self-efficacy of students and this directly relates to \nthe classroom. When a student has a sense of belonging and sense of \ncommunity in sports, that translates into the classroom setting. I also \ndiscuss how Parkinson\u2019s Law debunks the myth that sports takes\n away from homework time. After looking at both the social and cognitive\n domains of development, I concluded that sports have more of a positive\n impact on education and the development of a student than not playing \nsports. In one of my findings, they found that after analyzing 35,000 \nhigh school students, they were present at school 3 more weeks on \naverage than non-athletes and boasted a .55-.75 better GPA than \nnon-athletes. While sports might seem like it just keeps kids out of \ntrouble, it actually enhances the developmental process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
