STUDENTS’ PERCEPTIONS ON JOINING CO-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES: EMPIRICAL STUDY IN HONG KONG
Journal Title: International Journal of Educational Science and Research (IJESR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Many previous studies have been carried out to investigate the impact on students after joining co-curricular activities. Co-curricular activities are believed to be useful for students’ development in various aspects, such as academic achievement, socialization and youth development. With expansion of the tertiary education sector in Hong Kong, it is worthwhile investigating students’ perceptions about co-curricular activities which provide insights to education institutions in planning the activities. To conduct the study, questionnaires were distributed to tertiary education students to collect their views. Comparison of perceptions was made among different disciplines’ students. Students of different disciplines share similar views on some areas but have different concerns and preferences in joining activities as well. Based on the findings, suggestions are made to education institutions in planning their resources on co-curricular activities for students of different disciplines.
