The objective of this demand driven research is to co-design an intervention for upper-secondary students that addresses issues of consent and healthy relationships. In this paper, we (university researchers, student co-researchers, school staff), present the engagement framework that has been critical to the project's development and planned implementation.
An iterative co-design approach grounded in a participatory research approach is currently being adopted. Student co-researchers from three independent secondary schools on Whadjuk Nyungar Country in Boorloo/Perth, Western Australia, have been engaged as co-researchers in the design of the intervention. Supplementary quantitative and qualitative data from students enrolled at each school site is also being collated to further inform the intervention design. Student co-researchers will provide insights on the overarching design of the intervention including: the scope of key concepts they want to learn, interpretation of supplementary data, and the development of contextually relevant educative content.
Retrospective and prospective components of the engagement framework are described and supported with applied examples where applicable. Preliminary results demonstrate the imperative of adopting iterative co-design, and the efficacy of our authentic engagement framework. A draft intervention has been formalized and will soon undergo piloting. The co-design process has already resulted in an intervention that differs from the initial program first conceptualized by university researchers.
Imperative to our engagement framework is centering students as experts of their lived experience. It is anticipated that this engagement framework will provide insights around the feasibility, value, and necessity for authentic engagement of upper-secondary school students in the design of their consent and healthy relationship education.
这项需求驱动型研究的目标是共同设计一项针对高中生的干预措施,以解决同意和健康关系问题。在本文中,我们(大学研究人员、学生共同研究人员、学校工作人员)展示了对该项目的发展和计划实施至关重要的参与框架。
目前正在采用一种基于参与式研究方法的迭代式共同设计方法。来自西澳大利亚州布鲁洛/珀斯的瓦贾克·尼永加地区三所独立中学的学生共同研究人员参与了干预措施的设计。还在整理来自每个学校站点注册学生的补充定量和定性数据,以进一步为干预措施设计提供信息。学生共同研究人员将对干预措施的总体设计提供见解,包括:他们想要学习的关键概念的范围、补充数据的解读以及与背景相关的教育内容的开发。
描述了参与框架的回顾性和前瞻性组成部分,并在适用的情况下用实际例子加以支持。初步结果表明采用迭代式共同设计的必要性以及我们真实参与框架的有效性。一项干预措施草案已经确定,很快将进行试点。共同设计过程已经产生了一项与大学研究人员最初构思的项目不同的干预措施。
我们参与框架的关键是将学生作为其生活经历的专家置于中心位置。预计该参与框架将围绕高中生在同意和健康关系教育设计中真实参与的可行性、价值和必要性提供见解。
