Perfil de los escolares que más se benefician de un programa de educación en valores

Abstract

The Instructional-Emotional Programme for Personal Growth and Fulfilment PIECAP (Hernández and Aciego de Mendoza, 1990) was applied several times, and the characteristics of students who derived most benefit from it were analysed. A discriminant analysis was carried out on two samples of students (aged 11 and 16 years) who participated in the programme. Predictor variables were: intellectual capacity, academic performance, personal adjustment, and adjustment to the school, social and family environments. The resulting discriminant functions provided a profile of the students who most benefited from the programme. These were those who prior to the programme expressed a greater tendency towards personal suffering and depression, greater dissatisfaction and apathy with regard to the school, and a greater tendency towards introversion, albeit with less social aggressiveness
