Evaluación diferencial de los programas de acogimiento residencial para menores

Eduardo Martín, Teresa Rodríguez y Ángela Torbay

Universidad de La Laguna

En este trabajo se realiza una evaluación de los programas de acogimiento residencial para menores desde la perspectiva de evaluación de resultados. Tomando dos medidas separadas nueve meses en el tiempo a un total de 175 menores, y utilizando la escala de observación mensual de objetivos del Proyecto Educativo Individualizado, encontramos que, en la mayoría de las dimensiones analizadas, se producen mejoras, aunque éstas no se dan por igual en todos los menores, ni en la misma magnitud. Los análisis diferenciales muestran que variables como el motivo de ingreso y el tiempo de estancia modulan los resultados encontrados. No se encuentran relaciones significativas con la edad ni con el sexo. Estos resultados se discuten en relación con la literatura existente.

Differential evaluation of residential care programmes for minors. In this study, the results achieved by residential care programs for minors were evaluated. Two measurements were taken, nine months apart, from a total of 175 minors using a monthly observation scale of goals from an Individualised Educational Project. It was found that, in the majority of the dimensions analysed, there were improvements, although they were not the same for all the minors or of the same magnitude. The differential analyses show that variables such as reason for admission and duration of stay modify the results obtained. There was no significant relationship with age or sex. These results are discussed in the light of existing literature.
