摘要：The aim of this research was to confirm an improvement in the values of self-control and integration of an intervention program for at-risk youth through physical activity and sport using Donald Hellison’s Personal and Social Responsibility Program as a benchmark. The study is descriptive and used a qualitative methodology based on the participatory action research model. Sampling was non-probabilistic and purposely carried out within the school physical education timetable at 11 schools offering Social Guarantee Programs in Madrid at two levels: 12 university student teachers and 293 teenagers (men and women) within the age range of 14 to 18 years, who had dropped out of or failed in the school system, or had never regularly attended school. The qualitative techniques used for data collection were: questionnaire, personal interview, group discussion, polarity profile, class diary and sociometric test. Given the few programs and studies on this subject in Spain, the contribution of this paper is to provide different strategies in the classroom intervention, and to offers new insights on its implementation for people interested in deploying Hellison’s model.
