This is an evaluation of the Teenpower Violence Project in year 8 and 10 classrooms in the Nelson/Tasman Districts. The evaluation took the form an intensive quantitative study using survey material that aimed to cover the central aims of the project and qualitative research designed to add depth and richness to the quantitative material. The quantitative evaluation involved before and after surveys of four classrooms (one year 8 and three year 10), two presentations of the survey to three control groups with a gap equivalent to the length of the Teenpower Project operating in a classroom (included one year 8 and two year 10 classes) and a series of teacher questionnaires. The resulting evaluation provides two interrelated groups of material. Firstly, it provides empirical analysis of the effectiveness of the Project material. Secondly, it allows researchers to constructively assess the content of the material based on the reports of students and teachers (primarily) and provide recommendations. It also allows the evaluators and the Project organisers opportunity to further refine the survey for future evaluations. (from the introduction). Record #4858
