A model for evaluating intramural programs at selected private two-year institutions

Tyler, Coulbourn Hurt 08 July 2010 (has links)
The task was to develop an evaluative tool that could be used to assess the existing status of intramural programs at private, two-year, co-educational and residential institutions. The researcher contacted various intramural directors and several officers of the National Junior College Athletic Association requesting endorsement of the study. The researcher then reviewed the literature pertaining to intramural evaluation and concluded that there was a need for a study of this nature. Private, residential, co-educational, two-year colleges that were located within the geographic confines of Region X of the National Junior College Athletic Association were asked to participate in the study. Region X includes North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and a portion of West Virginia. Components from the studies found in the review of literature were used to develop an interview questionnaire. The researcher then interviewed the intramural directors of the twelve participating colleges. The results of the interviews and the components of the review of literature were used to develop a model for evaluating college intramural programs. The model was forwarded to the intramural director of each participating institution accompanied by a request for appraisal. Two members of the researcher's doctoral committee recommended three individuals who were responsible for the direction of intramural programs at two-year institutions that did not meet the limits of the study. These persons also received a copy of the model and a request for appraisal. All of the individuals reviewing the model agreed that it was useful. Eight directors stated that they would use the model in their programs, and the remaining seven directors indicated that they would use portions of the model in their programs. The researcher recommended that: 1. The instrument be used to evaluate private, two-year, residential, co-educational colleges that are located outside of the geographic confines of The National Junior College Athletic Association. 2. The model be applied to four-year colleges with enrollments that are similar to those of the colleges participating in the study and that would meet the remaining limits of the study. 3. The instrument be forwarded to a random sampling of community college intramural directors with a request for the revisions that would make it applicable to this type of institution. 4. The instrument be forwarded to a random sampling of four-year college and university intramural directors with a request for the revisions that would make it applicable to this type of institution. 5. The instrument be submitted to the National Intramural and Recreational Sports Association for endorsement. / Ed. D.
