Evaluierung der Aktivität

This study involved a review of the national and international literature, together with a mixed methodology incorporating both a quantitative and qualitative aspect. Under the quantitative strand of the research, a total of 431 young people were recruited to the study, of whom 267 took part in the leadership programme (hereafter referred to as the Leadership Group) and 164 formed a comparison group (hereafter referred to as the Comparison Group). All participants in the leadership programme were asked to complete questionnaires at three time points over an 18 month period. The sample for the qualitative strand of the study was drawn from the quantitative sample just described. Young people who had the highest and lowest scores on the Adolescent Well-being measure at baseline were invited to take part in qualitative interviews. This strand of the research involved interviews at three time points. At time one 22 participants were interviewed and of these, 21 were also interviewed at time two. At time three a smaller cohort was selected from the initial group interviewed (n=6). A further 17 participants were selected to take part in ‘photo-voice’, an illustrative way of exploring the young people’s leadership journey. Five focus groups were also carried out with 23 programme facilitators (17 Foróige staff and 6 volunteers).
The life skills measure (Perkins, 2001; Note: This is a secondary source. For more information, please check the bibliography of UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre 2012. ) had 6 submeasures including decision making, critical thinking, communication skills, goal setting, team work and problem solving.
