IMPACT OF EDUCATIONAL CLUBS ON THE FORMATION OF VALUES IN SECONDARY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS.
Abstract
In Quevedo, a critical need has been identified to strengthen values training in educational institutions due to the ethical and moral deterioration in society. The objective of the community service internship project for the Psychopedagogy degree in 2023 was to create and develop educational clubs to promote values in the school environment. Using a mixed research approach, data were collected through surveys, interviews and participatory observation at 25 educational institutions. The results showed that humor and academic success are sources of positive emotions, while setbacks and new social encounters provoke negative emotional responses. The implementation of educational clubs was effective in improving values training and academic performance of students, underlining the need for continuous and adaptive interventions in the educational field.
