Abstract

Background: Tall ship sail training, a form of outdoor adventure education, has historically been used with youth to build competency in seamanship and social and emotional skills. However, there is a void in the literature documenting precise program models connected to specific goals. Purpose: This paper presents a case study of the Shenandoah Model of sail training. It details its Positive Youth Development (PYD) framework and mean changes in PYD assets reported by participants. Methodology/Approach: Participants were surveyed using a one-group retrospective pretest-posttest pre-experimental design to assess the impact of participation. Findings/Conclusions: The participants reported significant mean increases across all PYD assets (Caring, Connection, Contribution, Competence, Character, Confidence, and Happiness), including moderate effect sizes for all measures except Happiness. In addition, over 70% of the participants would recommend the program and/or do it again, suggesting program satisfaction. Implications: Connecting different PYD assets to various program activities allows future program designs to intentionally develop sail training voyages to build competencies. Future follow-up research is needed, including qualitative methods to capture the impact of these programs from the participants’ viewpoint.
海上青少年积极发展:雪兰多模式案例研究
背景:帆船训练是户外探险教育的一种形式,历来被用于培养青少年的航海技术能力以及社交和情感技能。然而,在记录与具体目标相关的精确计划模式的文献中却存在空白。目的:本文介绍了对 "雪兰多模式 "帆船训练的案例研究。它详细介绍了 "积极青年发展"(PYD)框架和参与者报告的 "积极青年发展 "资产的平均变化。方法/途径:采用单组回顾性前测-后测前实验设计对参与者进行调查,以评估参与培训的影响。结果/结论:参与者报告说,所有PYD资产(关爱、联系、贡献、能力、品格、自信和快乐)的平均值都有明显提高,其中除快乐外,所有衡量标准都有中等程度的效果。此外,超过 70% 的参与者愿意推荐该计划和/或再次参加该计划,这表明他们对该计划感到满意。影响:将不同的PYD资产与各种计划活动联系起来,可以让未来的计划设计有意识地开发帆船培训航程,以培养能力。未来需要开展后续研究,包括采用定性方法,从参与者的角度了解这些计划的影响。
