- Abstract
- In 2013, due to a longer term and other extraneous circumstances, an opportunity arose to offer a number of 5-week programs at the School for Student Leadership, as opposed to the regular offering of a 9-week program. This created an opportunity to conduct research into the impact of the program length on student outcomes. These outcomes were measured from a positive youth development perspective, utilising a mixed methods longitudinal research design. The research involved interviewing and surveying student participants in both the 5-week and 9-week programs at three separate stages—the beginning, end and 1 year post program. The findings illustrated that the program had impacted positively on aspects of participants’ development, regardless of the length of the program. This chapter provides an outline of the research project investigating the experimentation with time in the SSL programs, which was conducted as part of a larger Ph.D. study.
