Abstract

Project-Based Learning (PjBL) as a student-centred, inquiry-driven pedagogy has been widely accepted. However, its implications in physical education (PE) and sport have not been fully explored and vary across different contexts. This systematic literature review consolidates findings from different studies that have looked into PjBL in PE and sport-related educational settings and the effect it has on learning outcomes. The review adhered to the PRISMA 2020 framework and a structured Scopus search was performed which initially identified 682 records. Subsequently, duplicates and records ineligible due to document-type, language, and subject-area limiters were removed. Title and abstract screening was followed by full-text eligibility assessment against pre- defined criteria resulted in 14 studies published between 2020 and 2025. Empirical studies employing PjBL in physical education, sport, or coaching settings (2020–2025) were eligible; the 14 retained studies resulted from criterion-based screening rather than a predetermined target. Methodological quality was appraised with the FICO framework (threshold 3.0/4.0), and screening decisions were checked for reviewer agreement. Synthesis was thematic (interpretive) rather than meta-analytic. The thematic synthesis yielded three main findings: PjBL is executed through a variety of ways such as classroom projects, teacher-training tasks, and work- based coach development; it leads to improvements in cognitive, psychomotor, and affective outcomes, including collaboration and self-confidence; however, implementation is limited by remaining barriers such as inadequate facilities, time, and teacher readiness. This review of literature contributes to sport pedagogy by revealing PjBL practice and outcomes, gives a guide to the practitioners, offers practical help to the teachers and coaches, and encourages larger, longitudinal, and methodologically rigorous studies

Abstract

Inclusive physical education (IPE) is considered by many to be the best way to allow people with disabilities, equal opportunities for engaging in physical activities but its actual implementation varies greatly within educational systems. This systematic review was conducted to uncover the barriers and facilitators to IPE implementation and to see how various stakeholders influence the process. The study was carried out in line with the PRISMA (2020) guidelines. Through a structured search of the Scopus database, 357 articles were found; after excluding 14 duplicates and through successive screening, 18 studies published between 2021 and 2025 were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Barriers and facilitators were synthesised using a socio-ecological framework distinguishing individual, relational, and structural determinants. The corpus (n = 18) was predominantly qualitative and spanned twelve countries, integrating the perspectives of teachers, pre-service teachers, and students with disabilities. Across the included studies, inadequate teacher preparation was the most consistently reported barrier, while practicum-based teacher education emerged as the most strongly evidenced facilitator. Notably, multiple studies converged on the finding that physical placement in mainstream classes did not, by itself, secure social belonging. Thematic analysis unfolded that lack of sufficient initial and continuous teacher training, poor structural settings, and inflexible pedagogical conventions are still major obstacles, whereas focused teacher education, reflective and individualized teaching methods, and nurturing school environment act as facilitators. Results show that physical inclusion alone is not sufficient to bring about social inclusion. This review offers an integrated, stakeholder-aware narrative on IPE implementation, provides useful advice for teacher training, and lays down a research agenda emphasizing student voice and longitudinal designs.

Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is a student-centred strategy with the potential to foster higher-order thinking and active engagement, yet its use in physical education (PE) and sport remains limited and fragmented across contexts. This systematic review of literature comprehensively analyzes primary research works to establish how PBL has been implemented in PE and sport-related educational settings, what learning results it yields, and which environmental factors influence its use. PRISMA 2020 was the review guideline, and it was based on a formal Scopus search which initially identified 214 records. After the exclusion of news, reviews and non-English documents, screening for title and abstract, assessment of full texts against the set criteria, a total of 12 studies published from 2021 to 2025 were included in the review. The thematic analysis showed that PBL is being implemented through various modes, some of which include technology-backed tactical simulations and teacher-training projects. The principal results of PBL are the enhancement of motor skills, tactical decision-making, critical thinking, teamwork, and engagement. However, the realization of PBL results was found to be dependent on readiness of teachers, time, and curriculum support. The article develops sport pedagogy by charting PBL implementation and outcomes, giving practical orientation for teachers and coaches, and urging for larger, longer-term and rigorously designed studies.

However, the information on what determines this readiness is scattered across different disciplines and countries. This systematic review combined peer-reviewed research on the abilities and readiness of physical education (PE) teachers and pre-service teachers for inclusive teaching. The review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA 2020) guidelines and utilized the Scopus database to retrieve records through a structured Boolean search targeting teacher competence, self-efficacy, preparedness, and inclusive or adapted physical education. Out of 487 records found, 31 empirical studies that were published within the period 2020-2025 met the eligibility criteria after removing duplicates, screening titles and abstracts, and assessing full texts. Records were retrieved from Scopus (search executed December 2025); eligibility followed predefined PICOS criteria, methodological adequacy was appraised with the FICO framework, and findings were combined through thematic synthesis. Screening was conducted with a documented reviewer-agreement procedure.  A thematic synthesis grouped the results based on four RQs that covered main competencies, obstacles, and enablers, the impact of teacher education and PD, and pedagogical-technological innovations. Two points were most prominent: self-efficacy through focused training is always changeable, and insufficient, fragmented preparation remains a structural barrier in different systems. The review deepens a situational understanding of inclusive-PE preparedness and gives practical recommendations for teacher-education programs and ongoing PD. Future studies are expected to use longitudinal methodologies, standardized competence instruments and also focus on under-represented regions to strengthen the evidence base.
