Journal Title: International Journal of Educational Science and Research (IJESR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
The 'out-of-school' activity, patterns of 1740 young adolescents between the age group of 12 to 14 years were studied, to find out which activities they participate in and for how much time. An inventory pertaining to the activity participation was developed by the investigator. Also, particulars regarding demographic variables and reasons for adolescents’ participation were collected. It was found thatage and gender significantly influenced the levels of participation in ‘out-of-school’ activities, while there was no association between levels of participation and ordinal positions, school types and mothers’ employment status. Over-scheduled Participants were identified, based on the extent of participation using percentiles and the results indicated that, more than 40% of students were over-scheduled. The most common reasons for participation included ‘Interest’, ‘to improve talents’, ‘like learning new things’, and (for boys) ‘friends’.
