Subclaims¶

Reading the evidence codes

q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.

This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q2 i? The review distinguishes in-breadth exploration (new identity positions), in-depth exploration (specifying existing self-understandings), and reflective exploration (reflecting on self-understandings) as learning experiences that all support adolescents in exploring who they are and want to be. → Verhoeven 2019

Evidence¶

Verhoeven 2019¶

Verhoeven, M., Poorthuis, A. M. G., & Volman, M. (2019). The Role of School in Adolescents' Identity Development. A Literature Review. Educational Psychology Review. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10648-018-9457-3

q2 · i? · review · r2

The review's constant comparative analysis of 37 articles on intentional fostering of identity development, most conducted in after-school clubs, extracurricular classes, or summer camps (n = 21), yielded the three types of explorative learning experiences.

"our analysis of the existing body of research caused us to distinguish between in-breadth, in-depth, and reflective explorative learning experiences that all, in their own way, support adolescents in exploring who they are and want to be."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

Identity — outcome: instruction changes it

In-breadth explorative learning experiences, especially on-site and hands-on activities, invite adolescents to adopt new interests and try out new identity positions — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
