Promising Practices Useful in the Design of an Intergenerational Program: Ten Assertions Guiding Program Development

摘要

Undertaking qualitative developmental research for the purposes of designing a prototype intergenerational program, the authors offer 10 assertions concerning promising practices. The authors undertook an analysis of 47 Web-based portrayals of intergenerational programs and used Web-based documents that described those programs to further illuminate promising practices. Using thematic analysis of program Web content, affinity coding, and dialogic interpretation the authors illuminated the programs' salient properties and qualities, and formulated and refined their assertions about the distinctiveness of intergenerational programs.View full textDownload full textKeywordsgerontology, social gerontology, youth services, aging, community service, intergenerational programs, social research and development, mental healthRelated var addthis_config = { ui_cobrand: "Taylor & Francis Online", services_compact: "citeulike,netvibes,twitter,technorati,delicious,linkedin,facebook,stumbleupon,digg,google,more", pubid: "ra-4dff56cd6bb1830b" }; Add to shortlist Link Permalink http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/15332985.2011.649637
