struggle of youth workers to define and evaluate the digital element of their youth work practice

Entwicklungsprozesse in Organisationen der Jugendarbeit

Digital youth workers described social impact evaluation as a form of transformation, which they personally witness. Alison claimed that, in her work, it is about “being able to see it [social impact] as opposed to evaluate it”. These notions of feeling, or sensing, social impact during youth digital projects were highlighted by most of the participants. [...] Digital youth workers struggle to define and evaluate the digital element of their youth work practice and are under pressure to provide primarily positive evaluation results of their projects. Two distinctive themes were identified in this study: (1) limited critical engagement with the social impact evaluation process of digital youth work projects and its outcomes, and (2) lack of consistent definition of the evaluation process to measure the social of digital youth work.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

Qualitative Interviewbefragungen (persönlich), Fokusgruppen
The Qualitative data was collected from twenty semistructured interviews and a focus group with digital youth work practitioners based in the United Kingdom and conducted in mid-2017. […] The research participants were primarily recruited through the Scottish Digital Youth Work Network. The aim of the Scottish Digital Youth Work network is to connect those practitioners who use digital tools and online spaces in their work with young people and to exchange and develop good practice models, both in Scotland and internationally (Youth Link Scotland, 2017).
