• W2567213723 abstract "This theoretical research analyzes the measurement of social capital in adult education and community development projects that seek to strengthen democratic processes and develop local leadership. It analyzes two different methodologies—in depth interviews and Web-based questionnaires—used to measure social capital. Introduction This theoretical research analyzes the measurement of social capital in adult education and community development projects that seek to strengthen democratic processes and develop local leadership. While most of the intellectual discussion and case study research into social capital is occurring in the fields of community development, sociology, and political science, there is growing awareness of social capital’s importance within adult education (Waites, 2005; Zacharakis & Flora, 2005). Conceptually, understanding and defining social capital is relatively straightforward. Measuring social capital is far more complex and requires creative latitude that reflects the community or organization you are working with rather than a set of rigid rules that are applied to all situations. This research reports on an analysis of two different methodologies—in-depth interviews and Web-based questionnaires—used to measure social capital. The theoretical void in adult education is the problem of measuring project impact and success. Social capital measurement allows the adult educator or community developer to identify barriers that limit the development of new leadership, and thereby develop strategies that encourage participation by new leadership. If strengthening social capital is a barometer of project success, then the question is “How do we measure social capital?” This paper is divided into three parts: (a) defining social capital relative to the adult education project of building community, (b) case-study literature on measuring social capital, and (c) an analysis to two methodologies to measure social capital used independently in two projects directed by the author. This research on analyzing these two methodologies is new. Social capital is defined (The World Bank, n.d.) by communication and collective action within groups, organizations, or communities. It is based on trust, networks, and shared interests and values. Social capital can be invested and reinvested in the same way that financial, human, physical, and environmental capitals are invested. And social capital is inherently connected to these other forms of capital. For example, it is difficult to imagine how financial or environmental capital can grow without strong social capital. It takes time to develop social capital, yet it can be destroyed relatively quickly (Flora, 1997). While the assumption is that communities and organizations should strive to develop strong social capital, strong social capital can be either positive or negative (Zacharakis & Flora, 2005). Weak social capital is usually considered to be negative and strong social capital is usually positive, yet when social capital is too strong it can have a negative impact on a project." @default.
