Abstract The study aims to explore the experiences of Ghanaian care leavers to discern the factors that promote and impede their educational attainment. Data was collected from 23 care leavers using semi-structured interviews. The interviews were then analyzed using the framework method. The findings suggest that the personal motivation of the care leavers and encouragement from significant adults and peers facilitated their academic success. However, the participants identified stigma, lack of academic support, and the inability to participate in decisions as barriers to their education. Recommendations include training residential care staff to enable them to facilitate the participation of young people in decisions about their education, encouraging and supporting young people in care to aspire for higher education, and developing plans to guide their educational progress.
摘要本研究旨在探讨加纳护理员的经历,以辨别促进和阻碍其教育成就的因素。采用半结构化访谈从23名护理人员中收集数据。然后使用框架方法对访谈进行分析。研究结果表明,照顾者的个人动机和来自重要成年人和同伴的鼓励促进了他们的学业成功。然而,参与者认为耻辱、缺乏学术支持和无法参与决策是他们受教育的障碍。建议包括培训安老院舍人员,使他们能够协助青年人参与有关其教育的决定;鼓励和支持安老院舍的青年人追求高等教育;以及制定计划,指导他们的教育进步。

Abstract Homeless youth are a difficult to reach subgroup of homeless individuals who require a unique level of intervention given their specific vulnerabilities as young people. They experience higher levels of trauma than their housed counterparts and lack parental guidance around concrete life skills as well as emotional support. This article provides a description of the adaptation process of a pilot life skills empowerment program designed to help homeless youth integrate successfully into the community by providing life skills training, emotional support, and social justice awareness. Youth participated in twice weekly group sessions and one-to-one mentoring with community volunteers. The adapted program was piloted in 3 cycles with small groups totaling 20 youth over the course of 18 months. Mixed methods were used to evaluate youths’ experiences in the program. While the sample size was too small to detect statistical significance, scores on validated measures (Antonovsky’s Sense of Coherence measurement tool and the Post-Traumatic Check-list Civilian version) demonstrated improvements in coping and sense of coherence and decreases in trauma symptoms. Qualitative findings supported the quantitative trends, demonstrating that youth felt more confident and hopeful about their futures, were able to set goals for themselves, and begin training programs and jobs. Youth were also able to develop trusting and meaningful relationships with mentors, staff, and peers. Implications for future program development and practice, future research, and social services education are discussed.
摘要无家可归的青年是一个很难接触到的无家可归者群体,鉴于他们年轻时的特殊脆弱性,他们需要独特的干预水平。他们比住在家里的同龄人经历更高程度的创伤,缺乏父母对具体生活技能和情感支持的指导。本文描述了一项试点生活技能赋权计划的适应过程,该计划旨在通过提供生活技能培训、情感支持和社会正义意识,帮助无家可归的青年成功融入社区。青年参加了每周两次的小组会议,并与社区志愿者进行一对一辅导。改编后的计划在3个周期内进行了试点,共有20名年轻人参加了为期18年的小组 月。采用混合方法来评估年轻人在该项目中的经历。虽然样本量太小,无法检测统计显著性,但经验证的测量结果(Antonovsky的连贯感测量工具和创伤后检查表平民版)的得分表明,应对能力和连贯感有所改善,创伤症状有所减轻。定性研究结果支持了定量趋势,表明年轻人对自己的未来更有信心和希望,能够为自己设定目标,并开始培训计划和工作。青年人还能够与导师、工作人员和同龄人建立信任和有意义的关系。讨论了对未来项目开发和实践、未来研究和社会服务教育的影响。

Exploring Competencies in Context: Critical Considerations for after-School Youth Program Staff 背景下的能力探索:对校外青年项目工作人员的批判性思考
IF 0.7 Q2 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2020-12-30 DOI: 10.1080/0145935X.2020.1866983

Abstract Youth workers play an important role in youths’ experiences in after-school programs. Although many staff competency frameworks exist, little attention has been given to understanding how characteristics related to youth and their community and program contexts inform staff competencies. A systematic search of review papers in four databases yielded two foundational review articles on youth worker competency frameworks. We explore how the competencies least reflected in the literature may be critical for youth workers, particularly for individuals working with youth in communities facing systemic marginalization. Ongoing critical analysis of the literature’s best practices will reflect the value and potential of youth workers and move the field toward more thoughtful and just youth programming.
摘要青年工作者在青少年参与课外活动中发挥着重要作用。尽管存在许多工作人员能力框架,但很少注意了解与青年及其社区和项目背景相关的特征如何影响工作人员能力。对四个数据库中的综述论文进行了系统搜索,得出了两篇关于青年工作者能力框架的基础综述文章。我们探讨了文献中反映最少的能力如何对青年工作者至关重要,特别是对在面临系统性边缘化的社区中与青年一起工作的个人而言。对文献最佳实践的持续批判性分析将反映青年工作者的价值和潜力,并推动该领域朝着更深思熟虑和公正的青年节目发展。

Abstract The Sangguniang Kabataan provides opportunities for youth participation in formal politics; however, it has been criticized for several issues including corruption and inefficiency. Using directed content analysis of transcripts from focus group discussions conducted in two schools in Caloocan City, Philippines, this study explores whether young people are politically cynical toward the youth council, and how this affects their political participation. Consistent with traditional political socialization theory, findings show that young people acquire their information and attitude toward the SK through their family, media use, and personal experiences. Results also show that they tend to be politically cynical toward the SK, and are unlikely to participate in SK activities and elections.
摘要桑古娘卡巴坦为青年参与正式政治提供了机会;然而,它因腐败和效率低下等几个问题而受到批评。本研究通过对菲律宾卡洛坎市两所学校焦点小组讨论记录的直接内容分析,探讨了年轻人是否对青年委员会持政治愤世嫉俗的态度,以及这如何影响他们的政治参与。与传统的政治社会化理论一致,研究结果表明,年轻人通过家庭、媒体使用和个人经历获得对SK的信息和态度。结果还表明,他们在政治上倾向于对SK持怀疑态度,不太可能参加SK的活动和选举。

Abstract The field of Child and Youth Care continues to expand and the foundational theories that have been central to the development of the field continue to de adapted. However, the increasing diversity of Canada's populations requires the inclusion of multiple theoretical frameworks that can address the needs of the children, youth and families that we encounter. This paper examines the ways in which anti-oppression and anti-racism perspectives can be included as an aspect of CYC thought and practice, with particular relevance to service provision for African Canadian families.

Abstract A consensus exists among practitioners and researchers that further empirical evidence is needed to develop effective programs that will increase resiliency from delinquency. The purpose of this study is to explore the perceptions, and attitudes of at-risk-youth after their participation in an experiential adventure-based learning program. Findings are based on a deductive thematic analysis of qualitative data gathered through semi-structured interviews within the framework of resiliency theory. Results indicate favorable views of the activities within the program, in particular related to themes of self-confidence, school attachment attitudes, and resiliency toward challenges. Implications for practitioners, as well as strategies for further improvements are discussed for further research.

Real Big Data: How We Know Who We Know in Youth Work 真正的大数据:我们如何知道我们在青年工作中认识谁

Abstract As the generation and use of big data becomes more prevalent in youth work, young people grow up in a world that “knows” more about their lives than ever before. Beyond school attendance and grades, these systems know about out-of-school program participation, social service resources, therapeutic interventions, and more. Though data historically was used to understand and improve program achievements, communicate with funders, and track participants, it is increasingly used to suggest and even perform interventions in young peoples’ lives. Young people are rarely asked how they feel about these systems. This study, presented as a counter-narrative from their perspective, differentiates the big data collected and analyzed about them from the “big data” - or stuff that they feel really matters about who they are and the challenges they face. It concludes by offering four questions to help youth-serving organizations consider the ways they generate and use data, in light of the many issues young people raise about new big data trends.
随着大数据的产生和使用在青年工作中变得越来越普遍,年轻人成长在一个比以往任何时候都更“了解”他们生活的世界。除了出勤率和成绩,这些系统还了解校外项目参与情况、社会服务资源、治疗干预措施等等。虽然数据在历史上被用来理解和改进项目成果,与资助者沟通,跟踪参与者,但它越来越多地用于建议甚至实施干预年轻人的生活。很少有人问年轻人对这些制度有什么看法。这项研究,从他们的角度作为一种相反的叙述,将收集和分析的关于他们的大数据与“大数据”区分开来,“大数据”是他们认为真正重要的关于他们是谁和他们面临的挑战的东西。报告最后提出了四个问题,以帮助为青年服务的组织考虑他们生成和使用数据的方式,考虑到年轻人提出的关于新的大数据趋势的许多问题。

Abstract The study explores caregivers’ perspectives and experiences around the barriers or facilitating factors to their involvement in their children’s schooling lives. Qualitative semi-structured focus group discussions with fifteen caregivers from four different socio-economic status schools in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, were conducted and analyzed using Thematic Content Analysis. Caregivers were selected via purposive sampling. The study’s findings were that caregivers perceived their children’s educators as easy to collaborate with, viewed school meetings as important and the school reception as welcoming, which encouraged their involvement. Setting up meetings with the school was seen as a challenge which discouraged caregiver-involvement. There are thus facilitating factors for caregiver-involvement in place in schools which demonstrates that the schools sampled, are aware of the important role of caregiver-involvement in reducing the risky-behavior engagement by youth in these communities. Caregivers are also more inclined to be involved, given the encouraging efforts made by the schools; and aware of their children’s schools’ LO education, policies which are in support of the messages taught in the LO curriculum and extra-curricular activities to prevent learners’ engagement in unhealthy behavior. Caregivers are therefore, better able to reinforce the messages taught via the LO curriculum. Caregivers are more likely to perceive their children’s LO educators as credible sources of life skills education and to partner with educators, to reduce the health risks in their children’s lives. More awareness for the importance of caregiver-involvement in reducing adolescent engagement in risky behavior engagement can be provided by schools and the government.
摘要本研究探讨了照顾者对其参与子女教育生活的障碍或促进因素的看法和经验。对来自南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔四所不同社会经济地位学校的15名护理人员进行了定性半结构化焦点小组讨论,并使用主题内容分析进行了分析。护理人员是通过有目的的抽样选择的。这项研究的发现是,照顾者认为他们孩子的教育工作者很容易合作,认为学校会议很重要,学校招待会很受欢迎,这鼓励了他们的参与。与学校举行会议被视为一项挑战,阻碍了护理人员的参与。因此,学校中存在促进照顾者参与的因素,这表明被抽样的学校意识到照顾者参与在减少这些社区中青年风险行为参与方面的重要作用。鉴于学校做出了令人鼓舞的努力,照顾者也更倾向于参与其中;并了解其子女所在学校的LO教育、支持LO课程中所教授信息的政策以及防止学生参与不健康行为的课外活动。因此,护理人员能够更好地强化通过LO课程教授的信息。照顾者更有可能将孩子的LO教育者视为生活技能教育的可靠来源,并与教育者合作,以降低孩子生活中的健康风险。学校和政府可以提高对照顾者参与减少青少年参与危险行为的重要性的认识。

More awareness for the importance of caregiver-involvement in reducing adolescent engagement in risky behavior engagement can be provided by schools and the government.","PeriodicalId":45151,"journal":{"name":"Child & Youth Services","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/0145935X.2020.1836955","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47202794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Children and young people in the UK face myriad challenges, which we characterize as colic 1 : the deleterious impact of uncertainty, stress and precarity on their mental health and wellbeing, particularly in their social bonds and relationships. We present findings from studies in the North of England which used focus group, individual interview and experimental LEGO® modeling sessions with 23 child and youth professionals working in a variety of roles and settings, to determine how demonstrating love within their professional relationships with children and young people can scaffold their resilience to these challenges and enhance mental health and wellbeing. We use thematic analysis to make meaning from the data, and we relate the findings to our extrapolation of Page’s developmental steps in early years professional practice, highlighting the potential for the concept of Professional Love to enhance children and young people’s wellbeing.
英国的儿童和年轻人面临着无数的挑战,我们将其描述为绞痛:不确定性、压力和不稳定性对他们的心理健康和福祉的有害影响,特别是在他们的社会纽带和关系中。我们展示了来自英格兰北部的研究结果,该研究使用焦点小组,个人访谈和实验乐高®建模会议,与23名儿童和青年专业人员在各种角色和环境中工作,以确定如何在他们与儿童和年轻人的专业关系中展示爱,从而增强他们对这些挑战的适应能力,并增强心理健康和福祉。我们使用主题分析从数据中获得意义,并将研究结果与我们对佩奇早年专业实践发展步骤的推断联系起来,强调职业爱概念提高儿童和青少年福祉的潜力。
