Description
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between specific extracurricular activities and the outcomes of student achievement and student engagement. The target population was 11th -12th grade student enrolled in high schools purposely selected for having FFA. Total study participants included 237 (N) student from a purposive sample. Participants completed an instrument that combined the Student Engagement Instrument (Appleton, Christenson, Kim, & Reschly, 2006), the Student Engagement versus Disaffection: Student Report (Skinner, Kindermann, & Furrer, 2009), and self-reported extracurricular involvement and Grade Point Average(s) GPAs and ACT scores. The results of the study indicate that students who participated in Career and Technical Student Organizations (CTSOs) have practically the same self-reported engagement and achievement as students who participated in non-CTSO activities.
