Ten focus groups comprising 88 students recruited from ten schools were conducted to understand the perceptions of students participating in the Tier 1 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S. Qualitative data analyses utilizing intra-rater and inter-rater reliability techniques were carried out. Results showed that a majority of the participants described the program positively and positive metaphors were used to represent the program. The program participants also perceived beneficial effects of the program in several aspects of adolescent lives. In conjunction with the previous research findings, the present study provides further support for the effectiveness of the Tier 1 Program of the Project P.A.T.H.S. in promoting holistic development in Chinese adolescents in Hong Kong.
研究人员进行了十场焦点小组访谈,从十所学校招募了88名学生,以了解参与“成长的阶梯”计划第一阶段项目的学生的看法。研究采用了评分者内信度和评分者间信度技术进行定性数据分析。结果显示,大多数参与者对该计划给予了积极评价,并且使用了积极的隐喻来描述该计划。该计划的参与者还感受到该计划在青少年生活的多个方面产生了有益影响。结合先前的研究结果,本研究进一步证明了“成长的阶梯”计划第一阶段项目在促进香港中国青少年全面发展方面的有效性。
