Abstract

Abstract Youth-staff relationships and program activities are important elements in designing high-quality afterschool activities that promote a broad range of outcomes. Using a qualitative approach, Latinx adolescents were interviewed (n = 28, 50% girls) about their experiences in a university-based afterschool math enrichment activity. Findings under the first goal of the study suggest that Latinx adolescents perceived changes in their math-specific outcomes (e.g., problem-solving skills), future science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) pathways (e.g., envisioning a future career), and social-emotional skills (e.g., relationship skills) as a result of participating in the activity. Under the second goal of the study, findings identified the specific practices that adolescents thought promoted those outcomes, including incorporating advanced math concepts and engaging in collaborative learning, engaging in campus tours and informal conversations, and using culturally responsive practices. The findings from this study can be leveraged by scholars and educators to design, further strengthen, and evaluate high-quality afterschool activities.

青年-教职员关系和项目活动如何促进拉丁裔青少年在大学-社区课后数学丰富活动中的成果

摘要青年员工关系和项目活动是设计高质量课后活动的重要元素，这些活动可以促进广泛的成果。采用定性方法，对拉丁裔青少年进行了访谈（n = 28%、50%的女孩）讲述他们在大学课后数学强化活动中的经历。该研究第一个目标下的研究结果表明，拉丁裔青少年因参与活动而感知到他们的数学特定结果（如解决问题的技能）、未来科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）途径（如展望未来职业）以及社会情感技能（如人际关系技能）的变化。根据研究的第二个目标，研究结果确定了青少年认为促进这些结果的具体实践，包括融入先进的数学概念和参与协作学习、参与校园参观和非正式对话，以及使用文化响应实践。学者和教育工作者可以利用这项研究的结果来设计、进一步加强和评估高质量的课后活动。

期刊介绍： The focus of this multidisciplinary journal is the synthesis of research and application to promote positive development across the life span and across the globe. The journal publishes research that generates descriptive and explanatory knowledge about dynamic and reciprocal person-environment interactions essential to informed public dialogue, social policy, and preventive and development optimizing interventions. This includes research relevant to the development of individuals and social systems across the life span -- including the wide range of familial, biological, societal, cultural, physical, ecological, political and historical settings of human development.
