Description
This study is a descriptive analysis of a population of public
secondary school administrators in the Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools. The Southern Association is composed of eleven states in
the southeast region of the United States and presently consists of
2,939 schools.
The purpose of the study was to reveal practices which school
administrators may follow to improve the management of extracurricular
activities in the schools which they administer. The author determined
the present status of activities in the schools of The Southern Association
with regard to 25 validated principles of management gleaned from
the literature. The information collected in 1944 by J. Lloyd Trump in
a similar study of the North Central Association was updated and the
two studies were compared to determine the differences in the data of
1944 and 1975. The instrument was returned by the administrators in 334 schools
in the Southern Association. Practices revealed in the study were
evaluated in relation to the 25 principles of management and compared to
the data given in the report of 1944. The following conclusions are
stated:
1. There is not as much need for precise definition of the
place and function of extracurricular activities as there
was 30 years ago but some need remains. The place and the
function of activities is well defined and accepted in
most schools .
2. There is still a need for increased concern over the
management of the extracurricular program. The management of finances shows the greatest improvement. Some
gain is shown in other areas as well.
3. There is continuing need for frequent evaluation and
follow-up in the entire extracurricular program. There
has been significant improvement in this area but much
more needs to be done.
The management of extracurricular activities continues to be a
major concern of the public high schools of today. Increased understanding
of successful strategies in management will enable administrators
to improve the effectiveness of the extracurricular activities program.
