PhD Dissertation Proposal Defense | Marissa Nichols | UNLV Educational Psychology & Higher Education

A successful dissertation proposal defense (Chs. 1 - 3) on 05/02/16 to lift me to Ph.D. candidacy! Please visit • PhD Dissertation Defen... to see part II, the dissertation defense!
Title: AN EXAMINATION OF DIFFERENCES IN DIVISION I FBS STUDENT-ATHLETE ACADEMIC AND ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE
In this quantitative study, I propose to examine how NCAA Division I FBS student-athletes of various academic and athletic ability levels differ on three frameworks chosen to represent internal factors.
The types of performers were categorized as:
1) high academic, high athletic
2) high academic, low athletic
3) low academic, high athletic
4) low academic, low athletic
The three frameworks chosen to represent internal factors:
1) Psychological - Mindset (Dweck, 2006)
2) Developmental - Personal Growth Initiative (Robitschek, 1998)
3) Behavior-Based - Academic, Social, & Everyday Experiences (Cox, Sandstedt, Martens, Ward, Webber, & Ivey, 2004)

Thank you for posting this video. I am close to my proposal defense and watching this helped me to mentally prepare. It is very brave of you to open up your proposal and allow others to watch.

Wonderful presentation. I am preparing for proposal defence next week, this video is a guidance and inspiration.

[@MarissaNicholsPhD]

I hope you knocked it out of the park! Thank you for the kind note.

Defining "sports" involved in your study and that differing sports draw upon different skill sets such as hand-eye coordination or "killer instinct" that are different for the athletes (i.e., what constitutes an athlete vs. someone trying to play a sport)? Fun stuff

[@georgeasiamah7571]

That was a wonderful presentation

[@MarissaNicholsPhD]

Thank you!

[@doug9116]

Wonderful presentation! Did you know what you were going to write about going into the program? Or did you have to figure that out?

[@MarissaNicholsPhD]

Doug, I had a general idea - student-athlete success - but it wasn't fully conceptualized until a deep dive into the literature, rigorous coursework, and incredible mentors at UNLV!
