Title: | Evaluation of a community-based positive youth development program in Hong Kong : views of program implementers | Authors: | Shek, DTL Ma, CMS Zhu, X |
Issue Date: | Nov-2017 | Source: | International Journal on Disability and Human Development, Nov. 2017, v. 16, no. 4, p. 377-385 | Abstract: | Using a subjective outcome evaluation method, the current study investigated program implementers’ perceptions of the Tier 1 Program of the community-based P.A.T.H.S. Project in Hong Kong. After completion of the program, 599 program implementers completed a valid and reliable scale (i.e. Form B) to give their ratings on program content, their own performance, and perceived program effectiveness. As expected, most program implementers perceived the program in a favorable way by giving very positive ratings on the three aspects measured in Form B. Grade differences on the ratings were observed, with implementers teaching the senior curriculum held more positive views on program effectiveness than did those teaching the junior curriculum. Similar to previous findings, perceived program content and perceived worker performance predicted program effectiveness. Findings of the present study provide further evidence for the success of the Tier 1 Program of the community-based P.A.T.H.S. Project in Hong Kong. | Keywords: | Client satisfaction Hong Kong Project P.A.T.H.S., positive youth development Subjective outcome evaluation |
