Abstract :

Participatory action research was implemented with a practical perspective (Elliot, 1993), with the purpose of promoting the emotional development of high school students with behavioral and emotional problems. Very frequent social phenomenon in a country with severe violence problems and social instability. 54 high school students, 34 teachers and parents of these students participated. The students come from contexts of high socio–economic vulnerability (Busso, 2001); had 4 to 6 failed subjects and were candidates to be expelled for misconduct or for reprobation in their schools. We implemented actions based on the (CUDEC) Systemic Pedagogy, with the therapeutic approach of Bert Hellinger, as Parellada (2006) introduces it. Students were able to improve their learning, their behavior and their links with others. There were improvements in the teachers‘ relationship and emotional problems were overcome.
