Abstract:
In this paper we conduct a systematic review of the scientific literature on the methodologies, techniques and strategies employed in evaluative research into social mentoring programmes for vulnerable youth. To do so, we analyse thirty-five evaluations of programmes published between 2010 and 2020. Our results show that most evaluations employ a methodology whose experimental design is in the form of controlled randomised trials. This methodological treatment is now being complemented by new qualitative research that reveals an interest in understanding the experience of young people within it. On the basis of these results, we propose the plurality of methods as an alternative in the field of mentoring and stress the need for studies that will provide information about process quality.
