For the evaluation of these two variables, the sports cooperation questionnaire from Leo, Sánchez-Miguel, Sánchez-Oliva, Amado & García-Calvo (2011) and the questionnaire of prosocial behavior from Martorell, González & Calvo (1998) were selected. These two questionnaires were distributed to the students before and after the didactic experience, in order to analyze if there was any variation in the variables.
