Challenges And Opportunities

Like those before them, contemporary youth are in the process of forming habits and orientations toward civic life that can establish patterns of political engagement that follow them through their lifetimes. Unlike earlier generations, however, early 21st-century “born digital” youth face a dramatically different communications environment than that experienced by their parents and grandparents. This chapter charts a path toward effective evaluation research for broadband within the specific domain of political and civic engagement among young people. After introducing core dimensions and constructs relevant to such a research program, it reviews key theoretical models as well as particularly fruitful strands of scholarship that can make important contributions to a program of broadband evaluation research focused on youth engagement. The chapter concludes with a discussion of challenges and opportunities for future research, both in terms of key substantive questions and particularly useful methodological approaches.

Community Based Programs

All University Affiliated Facilities conduct interdisciplinary programs of training, education/service, research, and outreach in the area of developmental disabilities. In this article four representative programs of the Waisman Center University Affiliated Facility in Madison, Wisconsin are described. They all share the following common features: each has been designed to augment and support the independence of persons who are developmentally disabled, each is either conducted in a community-based setting or designed to train persons who will work in such settings, and each is used as a resource for the conduct of interdisciplinary training for educators and clinicians. Included in this article are descriptions of (a) a paraprofessional training program that leads to an associate degree in community services, (b) an innovative supported employment program specifically designed for adults still living in public institutions, (c) a service/research program that provides persons who do not have speech capability with the technology and training for communicating, and (d) an evaluation/research program for promoting communication skills in persons who are mentally retarded, deaf, and blind.

The Relationship

Abstract Cognitive Gadgets offers a new, convincing perspective on the origins of our distinctive cognitive faculties, coupled with a clear, innovative research program. Although we broadly endorse Heyes’ ideas, we raise some concerns about her characterisation of evolutionary psychology and the relationship between biology and culture, before discussing the potential fruits of examining cognitive gadgets through the lens of active inference.
