The aim of this research was to verify if, after a period of practice oriented to moral growth and fair play, pupils modified their behaviour increasing their self-esteem and self-efficacy and perceiving positive emotion during physical education lessons. The sample chosen was composed of students in the 7th, 8th and 9th grade, who attended a junior high school in a small mountain village in the province of Parma - northern Italy - and as well as a control group. The positive results of this study show how teaching sport values in physical education at school using specific learning program as a pedagogical tool can contribute in a very real way to a truly holistic education of children.

Key words: case study, sport pedagogy, moral values, fair play, children, critical reflective thinking.
