“…The ongoing success of the program led the main program director to seek out researchers with experience in program evaluation in order to employ a rigorous quasi-experimental design to assess the efficacy of the TASC intervention. The evaluators chose a Regression Discontinuity design (RD) to assess the intervention, making TASC the first truancy intervention of its kind to move past process and outcome evaluations to using a rigorous evaluation technique (Thomas, Lemieux, Rhodes, Vlosky 2011). The RD design was selected, as it does not require the withholding of treatment, which was preferred over a randomized controlled experiment so that children could immediately access needed services (Shadish, Cook, Campbell 2002).…”

“…The external program evaluation took place in two parts, with the first evaluation assessing a single cohort of students (2006)(2007) (Thomas et al 2011). The second part of the evaluation included three additional cohorts (2007-2010) (Thomas 2017).…”

“…Las técnicas utilizadas en los programas de intervención consisten en un conjunto de estrategias de estimulación emocional, entrevista motivacional, asesoramiento, contratos de comportamiento, seguimientos de conducta y técnicas de refuerzo (Reid, 2012b;Thomas, Lemieux, Rhodes y Vlosky, 2011). No se encontraron prácticamente intervenciones combinadas con la participación parental.…”

“…En la literatura científica se establece una diferenciación entre los dos principales tipos de niños y/o jóvenes con rechazo escolar. Por un lado, se encuentran aquellos sujetos que rechazan la escuela en base a la ansiedad generada o debido al miedo causado por la institución educativa, el cual suele producirse bajo el consentimiento paterno, mientras que aquellos identificados como absentistas basan su negativa a asistir a la escuela en el aburrimiento asociado a la escuela, la preferencia de estar con amigos en la calle o jugando en casa, la manifestación de conductas antisociales o delictivas, siendo este un comportamiento que suele producirse sin la autorización familiar (Kearney, 2008;Thomas et al 2011;Wilkins, 2008;Wimmer, 2008).…”
