Repercusiones del programa “Sport to Break Barriers” en las actitudes hacia la inmigración en estudiantes de secundaria andaluces.(Repercussions of the “Sport to break barriers” program in attitudes toward immigration in Andalusian high school students ).

El objetivo principal del presente estudio fue valorar la eficacia de un programa de intervencion para la prevencion primaria de actitudes contrarias hacia la inmigracion y promocion de actitudes favorables hacia el foraneo. Participaron 98 estudiantes (43 chicos y 55 chicas) con una edad media de 13.15 ±1.12 anos. Se empleo un diseno pre-experimental de un solo grupo con medidas pre-test y post-test. Durante la intervencion de cinco semanas se partio de una fase de sensibilizacion sobre el fenomeno migratorio; en una segunda, se propuso desarrollar una iniciativa de impacto social, que culmino en la preparacion del proyecto de evento por la paz y su desarrollo, un espacio de encuentro entre diferentes centros educativos, clubes y una ONG. En los prolegomenos, se desarrollaron proyectos de aprendizaje cooperativo a traves de recursos didacticos originales. Los resultados iniciales mostraron una prevalencia de las actitudes favorables sobre las creencias adversas ante la inmigracion. Entre los argumentos favorables destaco el discurso cultural y, como principal prejuicio, las consecuencias economicas. Tras la intervencion se demuestra una mejora de las actitudes positivas, en las que los principales cambios aluden a la dimension economica-laboral. No se encontraron diferencias en la escala negativa, confirmando la tendencia a la estabilidad de los prejuicios. Resulta de interes enriquecer el curriculo con experiencias transformadoras hacia un cambio educativo que trascienda el plano academico y reporte beneficios en el ambito social. === The main objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an intervention program for the primary prevention of negative attitudes towards immigration and the promotion of favorable attitudes towards outsiders. At the end, it analyzed the repercussions of the intervention. In the study, participated 98 students (43 boys and 55 girls) with an average age of 13.15 years (± 1.12). A pre-experimental design of a single group was used with pre-test and post-test measurements. The five-week intervention started with a phase of awareness about the migratory phenomenon and, on a second phase, it was proposed to develop an initiative of social impact, which culminated in the preparation and implementation of the event “Project for Peace”, a meeting space between different educational centers, clubs and one NGO. In the preparations, cooperative learning projects were developed through original didactic resources. Initial results showed a prevalence of favorable attitudes about adverse beliefs. Among the favorable arguments shined the cultural discourse and the main prejudice was the economic consequences. After the intervention proposed by this study, was clearly noted an improvement of the positive attitudes. The main changes refer to the economic-labor dimension. No differences were found in the negative scale, confirming the tendency to stability of prejudices. It is of interest to enrich the curriculum with transformative experiences towards an educational change that transcends the academic level and brings benefits in the social field.
