- •
We adapted and piloted three scales for evaluating the effect of brief outdoor education programs on inner-city youth in Baltimore, Maryland.
- •
The three scales measure three types of non-cognitive skills: conflict management, emotional self-efficacy and problem solving confidence.
- •
The scales were validated through exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of pilot-testing data from two groups of program participants.
- •
These scales can be adapted for routine program monitoring, and enhance accountability by demonstrating if youth are benefiting from the programs as intended.
