This mini-dissertation deals with the market demand for campus recreation at the North-West University’s (NWU) Potchefstroom Campus. The market demand refers to the proposed needs for recreation activities on-campus among fulltime undergraduate students studying at the Potchefstroom Campus. For the purpose of the study, undergraduate students (n = 327) were requested to complete a questionnaire containing questions related to reasons for recreational sport participation and constraints hindering participation, as identified by literature. The study was undertaken by using historic, fulltime first- to third-year students studying at the Potchefstroom Campus of the NWU. Participants consisted of a diverse group residing both on-campus and off-campus and also from different faculties, with the exclusion of the Faculties of Law and Theology. Data collected by means of questionnaires was organised and analysed by the Statistical Consultation Services of the NWU (Potchefstroom Campus). Descriptive statistics were used to determine frequencies. It was found that the majority of students participate in the seven major sport codes of the university, and in particular hockey and soccer, followed by tennis and athletics. Even though participation figures for rugby are lower than those for the other seven major sport codes, the participation frequencies by the students are the highest of the major sport codes. The highest additional sport codes that students participated in are cycling, squash, golf, swimming and table tennis. The additional sport codes are predominantly participated in either through hostel teams or with private clubs. It was found that there are five main reasons why students participate in recreational sport, namely for the purpose of challenge and enjoyment, for recognition and achievement, to socialise, for health and physical wellness and to relieve stress. From the mean scores, it appears that the students’ primary reasons for participating in recreational sports are recognition and achievement and to a lesser degree for health and wellness. The study found participation constraints, namely lack of knowledge, lack of interest, individual psychological aspects and accessibility or financial constraints. The constraint experienced most by the students, according to the mean scores, is lack of knowledge about recreational sport. Regarding the students’ recreational sport needs, hockey was mentioned the most, followed by netball, cycling, swimming, tennis and squash. Students prefer to participate in the above mentioned recreational sport activities with hostel teams, whereas very few students prefer to participate on their own. The first recommendation would be to include student development, health and wellness as key components in the current vision of NWU sport. It is also recommended that the NWU revise the information obtained from the Marketing Department regarding the recruitment of future students. Valuable knowledge could be obtained regarding which sports the students were exposed to during their school years and to adjust the additional sport codes accordingly. The third recommendation is the introduction of leisure education during the orientation programme for first-year students. Leisure education will provide the students with the skills to prepare for future events peculiar to campus life. Fourthly it is recommended that, due to the increase in demand for multi-gender sport, the university shall focus on marketing and public awareness of sports such as women’s cricket and rugby for women. The last recommendation refers to the need for more information regarding the management of facilities and grounds. The implementation of a web-based system could increase productivity and may decrease the pressure placed on the utilisation of facilities and grounds. / MBA, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Esta dissertação trata da formação dos Educadores Sociais de Esporte e Lazer do Programa Esporte e Lazer da Cidade (PELC) ocorrido em Porto Alegre. Este programa constitui-se em uma ação da política pública de esporte e lazer do governo federal. O estudo buscou compreender os impactos e significados atribuídos às formações por estes educadores que atuam em comunidades localizadas nas periferias da cidade. Procurou-se identificar em que medida as formações contribuíram para a prática pedagógica do educador social de esporte e lazer. A partir destas premissas formulou-se o seguinte problema de pesquisa: De que modo os Educadores Sociais de Esporte e Lazer relacionam a formação do Programa Esporte e Lazer da Cidade e a prática pedagógica que realizam nas comunidades? Quais os limites e potencialidades dessa relação? Foi utilizado como instrumentos de coleta de informações no trabalho de campo a entrevista semiestruturada, o diário de campo e a análise documental. A partir da análise das informações construíram-se as seguintes categorias: a formação no programa esporte e lazer da cidade; o lazer e o esporte no programa esporte e lazer da cidade; a prática pedagógica; a comunidade; e, a gestão local do programa. Na sequência discutem-se as categorias a partir das falas tanto do grupo dos educadores sociais do programa, como o dos gestores e formadores, contemplando esses distintos olhares. Foi possível identificar consenso entre os grupos, como o curto período de duração do programa, considerado insuficiente para a consolidação desta política pública. Também foi possível perceber discordâncias entre os grupos. O tempo do gestor e o tempo do educador para respostas e anseios da formação são distintos. Enquanto um procura elementos para a reflexão, o outro deseja sugestões para auxiliá-lo na ação. Para o grupo de educadores, as metodologias para desenvolver o trabalho no seu dia a dia tem mais significado que as discussões conceituais e teóricas. O sistema de formação e o trabalho junto às comunidades foram considerados elementos de destaque no programa. Os fatores de mobilização para o envolvimento dos educadores no programa esporte e lazer da cidade foram: a possibilidade de novas aprendizagens; adquirir experiências por estarem em início de carreira profissional; e, o interesse em se envolver em trabalhos sociais. Este estudo permitiu identificar a necessidade de estruturar uma formação diferenciada daquela em ambiente escolar para o educador social de esporte e lazer. Considerase importante compreender que este sujeito atua em espaços físicos ressignificados para a prática do lazer e em um ambiente educativo não escolar, mas nem por isso distanciado de um processo de desenvolvimento de cidadania dos sujeitos. / This dissertation deals with the training of social educators of sport and leisure program for sport and leisure of the city occurred in Porto Alegre. This program is a public policy action on sport and leisure of the federal Government. The study sought to understand the impacts and meanings assigned to these educators who work in communities located in the outskirts of the city. I have tried to identify to what extent the training contributed to the pedagogical practice of social educator of sport and leisure. From these assumptions I made the following: search problem As Social educators of sport and leisure related training PELC and the pedagogical practice that perform in communities? What are the limits and potential of this relationship? Used as information-gathering instruments in the field work interview semiestruturada, the field journal and documentary analysis. From the analysis of information construct the following categories: training in sport and leisure of the city; Leisure and sport in sport and leisure of the city; the pedagogical practice; the community; and, the local management of the program. Present and discuss the categories from the speeches of both the Group of social educators, such as the program managers and trainers, contemplating these distinct looks. Unable to identify consensus among groups, such as the short duration of the program, considered insufficient for the consolidation of this public policy. It was also possible to realize dichotomies between the groups. The Manager's time and the time of the educator to responses and yearnings of formation are distinct. While a search elements for reflection in the other want suggestions to assist you in action. For the Group of educators, methodologies to develop the work in their day to day has more meaning as conceptual and theoretical discussions. The system of training and work communities were considered prominent elements in the program. The factors of mobilization for the involvement of educators in sport and leisure of the city were: the possibility of new apprenticeships; acquire experiences by being in early professional career; and, the interest in getting involved in social work. This study identified the need to structure a differentiated formation from those in the school environment for the social educator of sport and leisure. It is necessary to consider this subject plays in physical spaces to practice ressignificados and leisure in an educational environment not at school, but not so distanced from the development process of citizenship of the subject. / Esta tesis se ocupa de la formación de educadores sociales del deporte y programa de ocio, deporte y ocio de la ciudad se produjo en Porto Alegre.
