Title: | From experienced to novice : a reflective account on the changing role of front-line implementer to program trainer in Project P.A.T.H.S. | Authors: | Wu, FKY Shek, DTL |
Issue Date: | Sep-2012 | Source: | International journal of adolescent medicine and health, Sept. 2012, v. 24, no. 3, p. 195-199 | Abstract: | Although training plays an important role in the successful implementation of positive youth development programs, research on training and trainers in this field is grossly neglected. In this paper, a trainer of a positive youth development program in Hong Kong (Project P.A.T.H.S.; Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programmes) reflected about her transition from the role of a teacher (and program implementer) to the role of a trainer. Based on the reflection, the transformations involved, including self-perception, teaching role and teaching strategies, were highlighted. The issue of how previous experience influenced training in the context of positive youth development was also discussed. It is suggested that involvement of front-line practitioners in the training of positive youth development programs is workable, although systematic training for the novice trainers may be needed. | Keywords: | Adolescents Hong Kong Positive youth development Project P.A.T.H.S.
