“…Athens Tutoring Programme: Powell, Wisenbaker & Connor (1987) During this programme two hundred and fifty six (256) children from grade three through to grade eight were tutored two hours a week by an intergenerational group from diverse educational backgrounds. The evaluation concluded by saying that "Although the programme can point to the existence of positive indicators of its benefits to the community, sustained efforts need to be undertaken to improve the quality of the reporting and evaluation system associated with the programme.…”

Dominant approaches to intergenerational research may be inadequate to meet new challenges to the intergenerational field, such as increasing complexity of program settings, interdisciplinary collaboration, and a mandate to address social problems. An ethnographic approach to intergenerational work may be an effective strategy for meeting these challenges. An ethnographic approach involves a holistic perspective using field-based methods of data collection and a cross-cultural research base. As ethnographic methods have been used successfully in related areas such as education, gerontology, and child development, researchers are encouraged to integrate this perspective into studies of intergenerational programming. Various resource materials are described for practitioners and researchers interested in learning more about the ethnographic approach.
