Acquisition of educational values at the Real Madrid Foundation's social-sports schools.

The objective of this study was to analyse the impact of the educational programme of the Real Madrid Foundation (RMF) on the acquisition of educational values at social-sports football and basketball schools among children aged between 12 and 16 years in Italy, Romania, Spain and the United Kingdom. The most significant results showed that: (a) between the 20-21 and 21-22 seasons, there were statistically significant increases in personal and team success, self-fulfilment, personal and group superiority, health and physical fitness, and peaceful behaviour; and (b) the increase in variables being studied was different according to the country analysed in such a way that: in the per-sonal and team success dimension there was a rise in the United Kingdom and Italy; in self-fulfilment there was an increase in the United Kingdom; in the personal and group superiority dimension there was a rise in Italy and Romania; in the health and physical fitness dimension there was an increase in social-sports schools in the United Kingdom and Italy; in the peaceful behaviour dimension there was a rise in social-sports schools in the United Kingdom and a drop in social-sports schools in Romania. There were very significant improvements in the majority of dimensions and countries, although the development of the various dimensions is different and specific to every one of the distinct countries, meaning that it is necessary to keep adapting the educational programme of the Real Madrid Foundation in line with the sociocultural characteristics of each of the countries in which it is implemented.

Analysis of a Sports-Educational Program in Prisons.

The aim of this study was to analyze the implementation of a sports-educational program in prisons where the Real Madrid Foundation's Social-Sports Program is carried out. For that purpose, a survey of 468 inmates was conducted at 21 prisons in Spain where the Real Madrid Foundation implements its program (441 men (94.23%) and 27 women (5.77%)). Inmates stated that the program had had a favorable influence on their life in prison and considered that their participation in the program might have a significant influence on the likelihood of them continuing to play sports when they are released. In addition, inmates felt that they had learned a great deal about the contents relating to football and the values they had worked on, and that the program had had a very positive effect on their overall development as a person.

Evaluación de la socialización en jóvenes jugadores de baloncesto de la Fundación Real Madrid / Evaluation of socialization in young basketball players of the Real Madrid Foundation

La promoción y el fomento de valores educativos en las Escuelas Sociodeportivas de Baloncesto de la Fundación Real Madrid es una de las finalidades más importantes sobre la que hemos estado trabajando los últimos años. El proyecto de trabajo «Por una Educación Real: Valores y Deporte» incluye varias líneas de actuación dirigidas al profesorado, familias y alumnado. Para valorar la evolución del alumnado en relación a uno de los contenidos pedagógicos que intentamos fomentar, la socialización, hemos utilizado la escala «GR-SIPPEL» (Ruiz, Graupera, Moreno y Rico, 2010), en la que se evalúan las siguientes dimensiones: cooperación, competición, individualismo y afiliación. El objetivo principal del trabajo ha sido: describir las preferencias de interacción social de los chicos y chicas de categoría benjamín (8-10 años) de las Escuelas Sociodeportivas de Baloncesto de la Fundación Real Madrid. Los participantes que formaron parte del estudio fueron un total de 129 jugadores y jugadoras (87 niños, 75.2%; y 42 niñas, 24.8%). El análisis descriptivo global de los datos nos mostró que, en general, se alcanzaron valores más altos en las dimensiones cooperación (M = 3.368; SD = 0.421) y afiliación (M = 3.132; SD = 0.548), mientras que en las dimensiones de competición (M = 2.351; SD=0.843) e individualismo (M = 1.903; SD=0.680) obtuvieron los más bajos (AU)

The promotion and encouragement of educational values in Real Madrid Foundation Social Sport Basketball Schools is one of the most important goals on which we have been working in recent years. The work project «For a Real Education: Values and Sport» includes several lines of action aimed at teachers, families and students. To assess the progress of students in relation to one of the educational content we try to promote, as for example, the socialization, we used the «GR-SIPPEL» scale (Ruiz, Graupera, Moreno and Rico, 2010), in which the following dimensions are evaluated: cooperation, competition, individualism and affiliation. The main objective of the study was to: describe the social interaction preferences of boys and girls in the youngest category (8-10 years) of Real Madrid Foundation Social Sport Basketball Schools. Participants who took part in the study were 129 male and female players (87 boys, 75.2%; and 42 girls, 24.8%). The overall descriptive analysis of the data showed that in general, higher values are reached in the dimensions of cooperation (M = 3.368 , SD = 0.421) and affiliation (M = 3.132 , SD = 0.548), while in the dimensions of competition (M = 2.351 , SD = 0.843) and individualism (M = 1.903 , SD = 0.680) had the lowest values (AU)
