An Examination of Sport Management Doctoral Programme Research Requirements
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Scholars have conducted research and written about the curriculum standards and issues of accreditation in sport management at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Although this research is certainly important, it is limited in the sense that it has not really focused in any substantial detail on professional preparation for doctoral students (i.e. the research requirements at colleges and universities with sport management doctoral programmes). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to provide a preliminary assessment of the research requirements for sport management programmes in North America that have doctoral degree programmes. The researchers conducted a document analysis of all available doctoral degree plans and semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders in various sport management programmes. Themes revealed some distinct differences between programmes in Canada and the United States. These findings along with the educational implications and future research directions are discussed.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; the direct Gemma label and the distilled Codex classifier agree on what is shown here.
