better school-related outcomes as a result of participation in extracurricular activities
Veränderung der schulischen Leistungen und Perspektiven
It was found that participating in extracurricular activities at the eleventh grade was associated with significantly higher GPA, school belonging, and intrinsic motivation even after controlling for demographic factors and GPA 1-year earlier at the tenth grade. The same regression analyses of specific types of activity involvement was conducted. Sports activities were positively associated with GPA (b = .06, p = .044). Sports (b = .12, p = .002), service (b = .11, p = .006), and arts (b = .12, p = .002) activities were significantly positive predictors of school belonging.
