La recreación como estrategia en la formación de valores en los estudiantes de Educación Básica Superior Colegio de Bachillerato “UNE”

Abstract

The present research studies the impact of recreation on the formation of values in higher basic education students of an educational institution. A mixed approach was used, combining quantitative and qualitative methods to obtain a holistic understanding of the phenomenon. First, a survey was conducted with a representative sample of students to identify their perceptions of the importance of recreation in the development of values. The results indicated a significant correlation between participation in recreational activities and the internalization of values such as responsibility, respect and cooperation. Subsequently, in-depth interviews were conducted with a group of students and teachers to further explore experiences and perceptions related to recreation and values. It was found that recreational activities provided unique opportunities for learning social norms, strengthening self-concept, and developing collaborative and empathetic skills. The findings of this study suggest that recreation plays a significant role in the formation of values in high school students, offering spaces for experiential learning and positive socialization. They highlight the importance of strategically integrating recreation into each teaching-learning process of the school curriculum in the different subjects based on physical education and of providing adequate support and resources to promote its effectiveness in the integral formation of students. These conclusions have important implications for the design of educational programs oriented to the moral and social development of young people in the school context.
