| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of the study was to examine the three motivation factor models and identify which factor determines the academic performance of the student athletes in Teppi town preparatory school. The study examined motivation based on non-traditional measure adopting a scale to measure both academic and athletic motivation. To collect data the researcher adopted Student Athletics Motivation for Sports and Academics Questionnaire (SAMSAQ) in order to examine the academic and athletic motivation on academic performance. The total population size of the study were 500 preparatory school student athletes, among which 100 athlete students (60 male and 40 female) were selected by using simple random sampling technique in lottery method in order to provide equal and independent chance to the population to be involved in the study. In addition to the students, the 3 physical education teachers were selected using cluster sampling to be involved in the study. The data derived from these three motivational scales were evaluated in statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) 20 software through descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation), independent sample t-test (p<0.05) and Pearson Product moment correlation (p<0.01) Chronbach‘s alpha was calculated respectively for Academic motivation (AM), Student athletic motivation (SAM) and Career Athletic Motivation (CAM). Therefore, Chronbach‘s alpha indicator of the three motivation factor sub scales suggested that the items have relatively high internal consistency. Further, it showed there is a significant trend in student athletic motivation as a function of both father educational qualification and mother educational qualification. This study also proved that there are strong relations between the academic and athletic motivation according to gender and suggested to adopt Student Athletics Motivation for Sports and Academics Questionnaire (SAMSAQ) in order examine the academic and athletic motivation on academic performance of student athletes. | |
