Process Evaluation of the support program ‘Collegium Cusanum’

The program 'Collegium Cusanum' of the Cusanuswerk - Bischöfliche Studienförderung is aimed at all scholarship holders of the Cusanuswerk (students and doctoral candidates) as well [Read More]The program 'Collegium Cusanum' of the Cusanuswerk - Bischöfliche Studienförderung is aimed at all scholarship holders of the Cusanuswerk (students and doctoral candidates) as well as Altcusaner who aspire to a professional activity in the school or pedagogical field or are already doing so. The support program thus makes a sustainable contribution to the personal development and qualification of teachers and educators. To this end, the program relies on mentoring elements, i.e. tutorial support for Cusanuswerk scholarship holders by teachers and educators with professional experience. The CEval carries out external evaluations accompanying the process for quality assurance purposes. The central task of this evaluation is to provide the Cusanuswerk staff responsible for implementation with timely information relevant to control. Of particular interest, in accordance with the objectives of the program, are questions regarding satisfaction with the events offered, the quality of tutorial relationships, and the professional and personal benefits of the relationship for both parties. Methodologically, the evaluation is based on standardized online surveys of mentees and mentors at three points in time.

The overriding goal of the non-profit Agrarsoziale Gesellschaft e.V. is to work for the improvement of living conditions in rural areas and in agriculture. Qualified [Read More]The overriding goal of the non-profit Agrarsoziale Gesellschaft e.V. is to work for the improvement of living conditions in rural areas and in agriculture. Qualified and committed people are a central resource for the positive development of rural areas. Against this backdrop, an ASG mentoring programme was created in which students and graduates who would like to become professionally involved in and for rural areas are supported on their career path over a period of 18 months. The ASG Mentoring Programme is based on the three classic mentoring components: The tutorial support of mentees through the formation of mentoring tandems with leaders from science, administration, politics, non-governmental organisations and business, the acquisition of competencies by the mentees within the framework of the accompanying seminars of the programme, ASG conferences/seminars and the development of personal contacts and networks through the professional exchange with all stakeholder groups within the programme as well as in the context of the ASG conferences and seminars. CEval GmbH was commissioned with the accompanying evaluation of the mentoring programme. The central task of this evaluation is to provide the ASG staff who are responsible for the implementation of the project with timely and relevant information. Of particular interest are questions about satisfaction with the seminars offered, the quality of the tutorial relationships, and the professional and personal benefits of the relationship for both sides. Methodologically, the evaluation is based on standardised online surveys of the mentees and/or mentors at six points in time and on qualitative interviews of the programme leaders and mentors as well as on (focus) group discussions with the mentees.

The aim [Read More]The senior citizens' portal "digital.vital" is a model project of the Amt Hüttener Berge, the district of Germersheim and the city of Püttlingen. The aim of the portal is to make a contribution to meeting the challenges associated with demographic change and advancing digitalisation: Through needs-based offers, people are to be supported in the areas of nutrition, exercise and leisure activities/social participation (incl. housing, mobility, support) in achieving and maintaining a high quality of life in old age. At the same time, the portal also aims to strengthen the digital participation of older people. The project started in July 2020 and from autumn 2022 various services and information will be made available on the portal. The Amt Hüttener Berge has commissioned CEval GmbH to evaluate the senior citizens' portal in order to gain insights into the quality of the information and services offered and to identify possible potential for optimising the user experience in terms of portal functionality and content. Methodologically, a total of four participant observations will be carried out for the structured evaluation of the user experience among the pilot users in the context of so-called digital workshops at various locations. The participant observations will be supplemented by follow-up interviews with selected participants a few days after their visit to the digital workshops in order to collect data on the actual benefits of the workshops and the use of the website by the participants. In addition, a standardised online survey will be conducted among senior citizens' organisations and actors in the partner municipalities on their perceptions and professional assessments of the senior citizens' portal, its services and potential for further development.
