  • Social emotional learning program from a positive youth development perspective in Slovenia [Elektronski vir]
    Kozina, Ana, 1980-
    This chapter combines Positive Youth Development (PYD) and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) models as joint prevention and intervention strategies to address positive youth development. The ... chapter is based on two main assumptions (i) on the significant theoretical overlap between PYD and SEL models and (ii) that SEL interventions can be used also as PYD interventions. The first assumption is addressed by a literature overview and arguments for the theoretical overlap between PYD and SEL models, and the second assumption by a two-step case study. In the first step, the effectiveness of a specific SEL program, My FRIENDS, in Slovenia is presented. Internalizing and externalizing difficulties are used as indicator of the effectiveness of the program comparing an intervention (n = 44) and an untreated control group of students (n = 36). In the second step, content analyses investigated whether the activities and aims of My FRIENDS program could facilitate the 5Cs of PYD. The chapter brings novel bottom-up approach by applying already existing programs from the local context to planning and development of PYD interventions in Slovenia.
