Study Proposal
Do sports effect student’s grades in a negative aspect? To conduct this study I will include interview and observation techniques. Interviews will help me to get a more personal feel on the student’s aspect of sports and their grades. I will have a group of students that play sports that are all in the same grade. I will observe the group that plays sports during their class time to see how focused they are and how serious they seem about their school work. Also I will observe them while in a game or a practice to see how involved they are. I will also observe the controlled group that does not play sports with they are in class to see how focused they are and how serious they seem about their school work.
My controlled variable will be students that don’t play sports that are only concentrated on their grades. I will use a quasi-experimental research design because this is a group that is chosen based on grade and the fact that they play sports it is not picked at random. My sample population will be the students that answer interview questions about whether or not they play sports and their grade averages. Both of the groups will take part in the same interview with questions about sports and their academic skills. My hypothesis is that a few students’ grades are effected in a negative way because of their participation in sports but I think the majority of the students grades are effected positively
