Analyzing the Hidden Curriculum: A Method for the Analysis of Values in Youth Care Interventions

Research output: Contribution to journalArticleAcademic

Abstract

Values play an important part in the childrearing practices of parents, but are hardly a subject of debate in discussions about the youth care system. Also, a reliable research instrument for an investigation of values in this specific field is not readily available. In this article we will present our research design, which will make such an investigation possible. The framework we use is based on an existing theory and model of universal values (Schwartz, 1992). Our adapted framework consists of 39 universal values and can be used for the content analysis of documents. It offers the opportunity for an objective, empirical analysis of values. Next to an elaborate description of this framework, a case study will be presented as an example of how this method can be used.
