Abstract

Aggressiveness and violence in school are major social issues which occur more often in the present time. Physical Education in school can contribute essentially in the development of interpersonal relationships and to secondary school group cohesion, as key factors of preventing violence. The study highlights the fact that active engagement in sport activities, teamwork facilitates empathy, a fair play state of mind and conflict management. The introduction of a general competence in social, emotional and civic level can contribute in the decrease and disposal of aggressive conduct can determine the enhancement of mutual respect and the improvement of students’ social inclusion.
