T-Kit 10: Educational Evaluation in Youth Work
Comprehensive overview of Educational Evaluation in Youth Work.
This T-Kit is primarily addressed to youth workers closely involved in learning processes and educational activities with young people: trainers, facilitators, mentors, group leaders… Nevertheless this publication should be of interest to other actors involved in youth projects like organisers, administrators and decision makers.
The ultimate aim of this T-Kit is to support and contribute to the improvement of youth projects in Europe, by developing the competence of youth workers in the theory and practice of Educational Evaluation.
In the first chapter, “The Ingredients of Educational Evaluation” (the “theoretical” part of the T-Kit) we will explore the basic ideas and concepts around evaluation that are relevant for educational activities with young people. In the second chapter “Pots, pans and spices” (the “practical” part) we will map out, share and critically look at existing practices of evaluation (strategies, methods…). We will then invite you to define your own evaluation strategies, methods and criteria so that you can improve your projects (in terms of achievement of its objectives, products, structure and process).
In the foreword, we have introduced the metaphor of cooking. It is used in other parts of the T-Kit, (you can always identify them because they are sign-posted with our cooks)…
Nevertheless, this T-Kit is not a recipe book on evaluation methods that can be automatically transferred into your activities. Rather, it is an educational and methodological tool to help you to naturally develop, integrate and improve educational evaluation in your youth work. Concrete experiences and existing practices of evaluation as developed in practical youth work in Europe will serve us as reference material.
