Abstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this article is to analyse the educational strategies used by educators in out-of-school educational programmes for young people between 12 and18 years old. Taking an ethnographic approach, data collection was carried out through participant observation at seven programme sites where the participants assumed different levels of responsibility. The ‘youth-adult partnership’, which involves people of different ages working together to spark changes in their environment, was used as an analytical framework. The main results showed the use of similar strategies across the different sites, notably including the establishment of relationships of trust and support, giving participants a voice in decision-making processes, and developing critical thinking. However, the type of task, the time spent on it and consistency in relationships seemed to be key factors in choosing specific strategies that encouraged involvement and decision-making.
期刊介绍:
Ethnography and Education is an international, peer-reviewed journal publishing articles that illuminate educational practices through empirical methodologies, which prioritise the experiences and perspectives of those involved. The journal is open to a wide range of ethnographic research that emanates from the perspectives of sociology, linguistics, history, psychology and general educational studies as well as anthropology. The journal’s priority is to support ethnographic research that involves long-term engagement with those studied in order to understand their cultures, uses multiple methods of generating data, and recognises the centrality of the researcher in the research process. The journal welcomes substantive and methodological articles that seek to explicate and challenge the effects of educational policies and practices; interrogate and develop theories about educational structures, policies and experiences; highlight the agency of educational actors; and provide accounts of how the everyday practices of those engaged in education are instrumental in social reproduction.
