Journal Article
Extracurricular Activities and Academic Performance in Primary Education in Rural Area
2024
Overview
Some authors stated that one of the reasons why the interest in research on extracurricular activities in Spain was growing, was that in recent years, Spanish children's participation in these activities has increased (Cladellas et al., 2015). [...]it was suggested in the literature that this participation in extracurricular activities was positively associated with good academic, social-emotional, and behavioral performance (Ferris et al., 2013). [...]it is known that the association between attendance at extracurricular activities and academic performance varies when considering factors such as the socioeconomic level and family structure, the parents' educational level, the parental style, the relationships with peers, gender, race, the environment in which one lives, the type of extracurricular activity, the number of hours dedicated to such activities, etc. The study results have indicated that students of low socioeconomic status obtained higher scores in Mathematics compared to non-participants in extracurricular activities of the same socioeconomic level. [...]students of high socioeconomic level obtained lower scores in Reading compared to non-participants in sport activities of that socioeconomic level. In both samples, sports participation was therefore a consistent predictor of academic success and of a low level of behavioral problems. [...]a Finnish study, conducted by Metsäpelto & Pulkkinen (2012), has examined the participation of students aged from 9 to 11 years, of both genders, in extracurricular activities, their socio-emotional behavior and their academic performance.
