2 I choose the research study on, Exploring How Intervention Characteristics Affect Implementability: A Mixed Methods Case Study of Common Elements-Based Academic Support in Child Welfare Services. The study focus is on the implementation and interventions of strategies of Enhanced Academic Support (EAS) for adolescents and children between the ages of 12 through 18, along with the child welfare services (CWS) in Norway. Workers for child welfare services were able to give and or help with Enhanced Support toward the families by doing home visits or where the families wanted the seasons to take place. Six months of follow up with the families is when this research study was provided. The purpose of this study was to help close knowledge gaps in subjects like reading and math in children and adolescents. Also, to see if EAS or Out-of-school-time academic (OSTA) is beneficial to children is CWS. A handbook was made for the practitioners and managers. “The handbook is 32 pages and details the basic structure of EAS, core elements and components, key determinants of success, adaptation alternatives, suggestions for between-session assignments, and examples of “tips and advice.” The handbook also includes brief material that supplements core elements and components, such as guidance for carrying out activities (e.g., brief paired reading instructions), educational material to use in sessions and give to parents, family planners and an EAS goals tracker, and information related to the research project (Engell, Lovstad, Kirkøen , Ogden, & Amlund Hagen, 2021).” OSTA is the inventor of the handbook and the research study. OSTA interventions where a combination of parent training in positive academic involvement, home learning support, and structed academic tutoring to child for example paired reading.
3 The characteristic of this group of children between the ages of 12-18 years of age in need of academic interventions within CWS. In Norway, eight out of ten children in CWSs struggle academically (Engell, Lovstad, Kirkøen , Ogden, & Amlund Hagen, 2021). Unfortunately, this study did not target the biggest population of children in CWSs, or elementary school children living in the home with their biological parents. There are 24 practitioners and supervisors with one family that are in this study. "Their professions were child welfare educator (n = 9), social worker (n = 6), Family therapist (n = 2), education specialist (n = 2), social anthropologist (n = 1), and social educator (n = 1). Nine out of 21 eligible (three lost to turnover) participated in the qualitative interviews (42.86%). All participants in the qualitative sample participated in the quantitative sample (Engell, Lovstad, Kirkøen , Ogden, & Amlund Hagen, 2021).” The hypothesis of this study is that EAS and OSTA interventions are beneficial to children in CWS in Norway. There are a total of four concepts that were used in this research: Feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness, and intervention usability. The intervention was made flexible so practitioners could incorporate the elements of EAS to the family needs while providing academic help. • "The four elements of EAS are delivered to families in six sessions over a period of six months with support and follow-up between sessions" (Engell, Lovstad, Kirkøen , Ogden, & Amlund Hagen, 2021). After each season with the family practitioners were asked to complete a 5-to-10-minute text survey to provide feedback on EAS. Then we come to the semi-structured focus group that lasted roughly 2 hours for the initial interview with four of the participants. Three out of those four participants went on to have an second interview which lasted roughly a little bit over 2 hours. The educated practitioners for CWS were interested in seeing if these interventions were implementable for CWS. There were
