Abstract: The aim of this study was to determine how secondary education students and teachers perceive the implementation of the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility model (TPSR), the relationship between TPSR and marks in physical education (PE), and potential differences with regard to gender. For this purpose, TPSR was implemented for seven months and on completion 121 students (48 girls) aged between 12 and 16 from the first and third grade of secondary education were asked to complete the TPSR perception questionnaire (ECVA-12) to determine their satisfaction with this methodology and the values the model promoted in pupils. Moreover, the participant teachers were also interviewed. Results showed positive student perceptions of the implemented methodology and its promotion of values, and significant differences in academic performance in PE in favor of males. Teachers valued this methodology very positively and considered that it would be useful with any kind of student. This paper suggests the importance of TPSR implementation for all teachers, regardless of their specialism, and considers that there may be potential in engaging other collectives such as families.
