The first publication for the evaluation of youth travel programmes
This is the first book of the project Evaluation of Youth Travel Programmes (based on data of the Protestant Youth in Württemberg). The second, revised edition was published in 2005 as volume 7 of the series "Bielefelder Jugendreiseschriften".
Wolfgang Ilg:
Freizeiten auswerten – Perspektiven gewinnen (Evaluating Youth Travel Programmes – Gaining new Perspectives)
Basics, results and instructions for the evaluation of youth travel programmes carried out by the Protestant Youth in Württemberg, Bremen: IFKA, 2005 (2. edition).
ISBN 3-926499-57-5
Summary:
This book will whet your appetite for professional evaluation of youth travel programmes. It includes methodological principles and results from a survey among programme participants and the programme staff of church related youth work. Additionally, it contains material for an independent evaluation of youth travel programmes in Protestant Youth in Württemberg.
Theoretical principals that are identified in this book keep their validity for all further developments carried out to date.
Subjects like „Parents’ work“, or „Transition from travel programmes to youth groups “ are dealt with in separate chapters. Experts comment on the results from different perspectives and show trends in church related youth travel work. The evaluation procedure depicted in this book is still recommendable for youth travel programmes of the Protestant Youth in Württemberg. Other organisors of youth travel programmes are advised to work with the procedure depicted in the book "Evaluation von Freizeiten und Jugendreisen" (“Evaluation of Youth Travel Programmes”, 2008), which is mentioned above. It offers a more comfortable implementation (e.g. addition of individual items; church related questions are optional; improved GrafStat functions).
