Sport Identity

The purpose of this study was to examine the role of sport identity within a model of children’s sport participation. Participants were 238 boys and 231 girls aged 12 to 13 years from state secondary schools in Hong Kong. Questionnaires were administered in order to assess the influences of psychosocial and socioenvironmental constructs on children’s sport involvement. Regression analyses and path analysis were used to assess hypothesized relationships in the model. Results indicated that sport identity was the strongest predictor of children’s sport participation; perceived sport competence, peer influence, and relative autonomy index (RAI) were predictors of sport identity; and path analysis indicated that the data provided a good fit to the model featuring sport identity as the mediator between psychosocial and socioenvironmental variables and children’s sport participation.

Despite that notions of gifted education have been anticipated in Chinese history, Hong Kong not not managed to relinquish the laissez-faire attitude toward the education of the gifted and talented until the late 1980s and the early 1990s. The development of gifted education was traced in the context of liberalization and expansion of educational opportunities, the parallel concerns with equity and excellence, and school reform to meet the educational needs of students abilities in Hong Kong. To meet the special educational needs of gifted and talented children, diversified provisions are now made or planned in school-based enrichment activities/special school with accelerated and challenging curriculum, and university summer programmes. It is anticipated that the development of gifted education will bring about further positive changes in the overall educational system in Hong Kong.
