Abstract

The learning inside classrooms is critical for a student’s social and intellectual growth and development. However, the paper explain the method of study outside the classroom is important for the co-curricular activities with explanation of many forms. Co-curricular activities allow students to participate with others who share their passion for a particular activity, allowing them to build relationships with peers outside the classroom. Joining a sports team, dance club, or pottery classes, to name a few, offers more than just an opportunity for students to develop social skills. They can provide students with a positive outlook toward school, develop organizational skills, and cultivate leadership skills. Internal consistency of a scale is used to measure using a statistic called Cronbach's alpha scale in this research. Alpha can take values from 0 (in theory) to 1. The larger the value, the greater the internal consistency. However, very high internal consistency is not necessarily a good thing. As a result of their interests, this student may be able to ensure their intellectual and cultural development. Yet the reason scales are used is rather than single items is that the different items are believed to each, imperfectly, elicit partial information related to the latent variable. Very high values of alpha (say over 0.9) may suggests some items are much too similar to each other, and indicate that some items should be removed to give a shorter scale that takes less time for participants to complete and for the researcher to analyse. In research methodlogy, Quantitative research technique is used for systematic investigation of phenomena by gathering quantifiable data and performing statistical, mathematical, or computational techniques. Quantitative research collects statistically significant information from existing and potential academic and fidelity. for data collection and analysis researchers use probability sampling techniques are aiming to identify a representative sample from which to collect data. A representative sample is one that resembles the population from which it was drawn in all the ways that are important for the research being conducted in academic and fidelity study. However, encouraging them to participate in an inclusive team-based sport such as Ultimate Frisbee may also help their social and physical development. These activities and programs that take place outside of the traditional classroom are called co-curricular or extracurricular activities with a focus on physiological and physical development.
