Študija primera: Rolkanje kot proces krepitve moči mladostnika

Vršič, Matevž (avtor), Videmšek, Petra (mentor)

Razvoj tesnega in zaupnega osebnega odnosa med mladostnikom in strokovnim delavcem lahko izboljša kvaliteto njunega sodelovanja in mladostnika hitreje usmeri k doseganju zastavljenih ciljev. Prav tako tesen osebni odnos znotraj sodelovanja pomembno prispeva k procesu krepitve moči mladostnika. Sodelovanje med odraslo osebo in mladostnikom, ki ga lahko označimo kot mentorsko razmerje, ima prav zaradi prisotnosti starejše osebe mnoge ugodne učinke za mladostnika. Dotična magistrska naloga obravnava mentorski odnos sodelovanja med piscem te naloge in 14-letnim mladostnikom. Raziskava skuša ugotoviti posebnosti procesa vzpostavljanja delovnega odnosa in osebnega stika med mladostnikom in raziskovalcem, spremembe ob vpeljavi izvirnega delovnega projekta v sodelovanje, proces krepitve moči mladostnika in vlogo raziskovalca znotraj mentorskega razmerja z mladostnikom. Osebni odnos med raziskovalcem in mladostnikom se je razvijal spontano in počasi. Tesen in zaupen osebni odnos med mladostnikom je kasneje olajšal proces sodelovanja, saj se je mladostnik v njem počutil bolj sproščenega, raziskovalec pa je imel priložnost globlje spoznati mladostnikov življenjski svet, kar je vplivalo na proces postavljanja ciljev sodelovanja. Skozi proces vpeljave izvirnega delovnega projekta pomoči, se je izkazalo, da je mladostnikova angažiranost pri sodelovanju odvisna predvsem od tega, ali zastavljeni cilji sodelovanja iskreno temeljijo na njegovih resničnih potrebah. Napredovanje v rolkanju ter širjenje in krepitev naravne socialne mreže mladostnika sta se izkazala kot ključna elementa procesa krepitve moči mladostnika. Mladostnik se je ob trenutkih povečane raziskovalčeve prisotnosti in bližine počutil bolj varnega in samozavestnega. Raziskovalčeva sposobnost prilagajanja in spontanega, avtentičnega odzivanja na neobičajne situacije tekom sodelovanja je pogosto odprla možnosti za razvoj osebnega stika z mladostnikom ali pa priložnost za napredovanje v rolkanju. Vztrajanje raziskovalca v odnosu (in v izvedbi izletov, ki so tvorili izvirni delovni projekt) je dalo mladostniku pomembno sporočilo, da je sodelovanje z njim zaželjeno. Prav tako je bila raziskovalčeva zmožnost samorefleksije pomembno orodje, preko katerega je lahko svoje delo razvil.

Development of a close and trusting personal relationship between an adolescent and a professional worker can improve the quality of their collaboration and help the adolescent achieve their set goals more quickly. Furthermore, a close personal relationship within the collaboration significantly contributes to the process of empowering the adolescent. The collaboration between an adult and an adolescent, characterized as a mentoring relationship, has many beneficial effects for the adolescent due to the presence of an older person. The present master's thesis addresses the mentoring relationship between the author of this thesis and a 14-year-old adolescent. The study aims to determine the specific aspects of establishing a working relationship and personal connection between the adolescent and the researcher, the changes introduced by the implementation of an original working project into the collaboration, the process of empowering the adolescent, and the role of the researcher within the mentoring relationship with the adolescent. The personal relationship between the researcher and the adolescent developed spontaneously and gradually. The close and trusting personal relationship between them later facilitated the collaboration process, as the adolescent felt more relaxed within it, and the researcher had the opportunity to gain deeper insights into the adolescent's life world, which influenced the goal-setting process of the collaboration. Through the implementation process of the original working project, it was revealed that the adolescent's engagement in the collaboration depended primarily on whether the set collaboration goals genuinely reflected their real needs. Progression in skateboarding and the expansion and strengthening of the adolescent's natural social network proved to be crucial elements in the process of empowering the adolescent. The adolescent felt safer and more confident during moments of increased presence and proximity of the researcher. The researcher's ability to adapt and spontaneously and authentically respond to unusual situations during the collaboration often opened up opportunities for developing a personal connection with the adolescent or for advancing in skateboarding. The researcher's persistence in the relationship (and in organizing excursions that constituted the original working project) conveyed an important message to the adolescent that their collaboration was valued. Additionally, the researcher's self-reflection ability was an important tool through which they could develop their work.
