Study on the Role of Extracurricular Activities in Student Life Adaptation
Abstract
Background: The importance of first-year students' participation in activities for adapting to student life is analyzed.
Methods: The study includes 30 prospective students from different specializations who have been admitted to faculty and 15 current students from different years. We aimed to conduct a study that demonstrates the efficiency of adaptation programs for student life through motor activities, knowledge and self-knowledge activities, lodge games, and team-building activities. At the end of the activities, we applied a 10-item questionnaire to obtain feedback on our proposed program.
Results: The results confirm the specialized literature, highlighting the positive role of extracurricular involvement.
Conclusions: Following participation in the adaptation program for student life, after analyzing the questionnaire results, we observe that extracurricular activities play an important role in adapting to student life, contributing to social integration and personal development.
