Journal of Sports Science and Physical Education 5(2): 61-73, 2016 – Participation in
adventure recreation is increasing in popularity in recent years. However, out of the 13
million people who participated in outdoor recreation activities globally, 12 million are no
longer participated in these activities due to low satisfaction of the acitivity, which includes
the implementation of activities, environment and facilities provided (Outdoor Industry
Foundation, 2013). This study aims to understand the patterns of participation, specifically in
whitewater rafting activity by identifying the motivation factor and the satisfaction level of
participants. It also examines the relationship between motivation and satisfaction in
whitewater rafting activity. Recreation Experience Preferences Scale (REP) was used to
identify the motivation factors, while Leisure Satisfaction Scale was employed to assess the
level of satisfaction in whitewater rafting activity. The respondents consisted of 404 people
who participated in whitewater rafting in Kampar River, Perak. Mean, standard deviation and
Pearson Correlation were used to answer the research questions. Results showed that
elements of nature, excitement and sociability as the main motivation in the activities of
whitewater rafting. Higher satisfaction levels were recorded in the aesthetic, psychological
and social. This study revealed that there is a positive relationship between participants‟
motivation and satisfaction in whitewater rafting activity. In conclusion, the motivation
factors that encourage participants to participate in whitewater rafting activity may not
necessarily be the same factors that contribute to participants‟ satisfaction. Therefore, the
operators of the activity and the related parties need to identify factors that contribute to
satisfaction of aesthetic, psychological and social in whitewater rafting activity to ensure
higher satisfaction in participation of this activity.

Journal of Sports Science and Physical Education 5(1): 77-94, 2016 - This study aimed to
examine the effectiveness of the Bachelor of Education (Honours) programmes offered by the
Faculty of Sports Science and Coaching in producing quality graduates and their
employability in the profession. Samples for this study comprised of 49 graduates from the B
Ed (Sports Science), 25 graduates from B Ed (Coaching Science) and nine B Ed (Physical
Education) who have graduated from 2010 to 2014 as well as their respective employers and
peers were selected as respondents. Six to ten samples from each programme together with
their employers were interviewed further using guided questionnaire. Data was analysed
descriptively as well as correlation and regression methods. The findings showed that the
graduates mastered very high levels of the knowledge and skills of the courses related to their
respective programmes. They also achieved excellent levels of knowledge and skills in the
implementation of their respective programmes during and after their completion of studies.
The graduates received very high scores from their employers and peers in terms of their
attributes and employability. Overall, analyses on the effectiveness of the faculty‟s education
programmes showed a positive and significant correlation between the mastery (input) and
the implementation (process) of the programmes. However, a moderately positive but not
significant correlation was found between the mastery (input) of the courses and the
graduates (product). Similar results were found between the implementation of the
programmes (process) and the graduates except for the BEd.(Sports Science) which showed a
moderate positive and significant correlation. Only 23% predicted mastery of the course
(input) and the implementation of the programme influenced the product (graduates) towards
the effective implementation of the BEd (Sports Science), compared to 20% for BEd
(Coaching Science) and 98% for BEd (Physical Education). This study concluded that
Bachelor of Education (Honours) programmes offered by the Faculty of Sports Science and
Coaching are capable of producing quality and employable graduates. The faculty has
developed its strategic plan in improving the employability of the graduates by streamlining
the offering of the BEd (Coaching Science) programme, reinforce the undergraduates soft
skills attributes, intensify the activities of the Kinesiology Centre of Excellence and advocate entrepreneurship education in order to produce graduates who are innovative and capable in the education profession.
