Vulnerable Youth as Researchers? Participatory Research Methodology Co-Producing a Transmedia Resource
This study examines how transmedia principles can be operationalized within participatory research to engage adolescents in situations of vulnerability as co-researchers. A qualitative participatory design was implemented with 12 adolescents, structured across four sequential phases: preparation, audience, validation, and transference. Findings indicate that transmedia principles (participatory culture, media convergence and deconvergence, and co…
Flipped and Non-Flipped Teaching Formats in a Political Science Class
This article assesses the effectiveness of two active learning formats –a fully flipped and a semi-traditional one – for students’ soft skills, such as critical thinking, teamwork, self-efficacy, and learning perception, and for students’ achievement measured in terms of grades. To measure the impact on the soft skills, it uses a Wilcoxon test, with the goal of comparing the evolution of each soft skill in the flipped and semi-traditional formats…
The voices of children, mothers, and fathers
Parental education programs are a key element in achieving family reunification because they help mothers and fathers improve their parenting skills and increase the parent-child relationship. Perceptions of change are examined among children and parents who participated in Spain's "Caminar en familia" ("Walking family") program, which was implemented among families served by the Sistema de Protección a la Infancia y a la Adolescencia (System for…
Contar con la infancia en situación de riesgo en los procesos de investigación
De acuerdo con la Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño, los y las niñas tienen derecho a participar en todos aquellos aspectos que les afectan. Se reconoce cada vez más la importancia de dar voz y tener en cuenta a la infancia. Sin embargo, esta participación se ve limitada en algunas ocasiones, especialmente en contextos como el sistema de protección a la infancia o en contextos en los que ésta se halla en una situación de riesgo o vulnerabili…
If I'm Here, It's Because I Do Not Have Anyone
Social support is a crucial element for families in vulnerable situations, especially for those with children in foster care processes. This support is key to the acceptance of the protection measure in the initial moments and to laying the foundations for collaboration towards reunification. However, the social support of these families is limited, and families' use of support elements is strongly related to their attitude towards them. The aims…

Learning together, growing with family”
The 'Learning together, growing with family' programme is targeted to at-risk parents and children from 6 to 11 years old, with a preventive focus on promoting positive parent-child relationships. In this study, we examined the quality of the programme implementation and its influence on the programme results in a sample of 425 parents and 138 facilitators drawn from the first trial. Mixed methods were used, consisting of: parental self-reports o…
They didn't tell me anything; they just sent me home’
The reality of child protection systems typically demonstrates a lack of attention to the voices of children. There are studies that confirm this fact and offer evidence of the benefits of participation, but gaps remain regarding the elements and processes that favour it. This qualitative study attempts to contribute to knowledge in this area through a detailed analysis of the perspectives of the actors involved and the role that children play in…
Exploring the needs of parents for achieving reunification
The social support in kinship foster care
This paper analyses how social support enhances family resilience in kinship foster families by involving the families in an educational group programme. Sixty‐two kinship foster families from Spain participated in the research. The data were collected before the programme (interviews) and after the programme (interviews and focus groups), and these were analysed by content analysis with the programme Atlas.ti. The results show that the factors t…
