<![CDATA[This study aims to critically examine the implementation of cognitive and affective approaches in physical education and their implications for developing students’ character and social skills. A descriptive qualitative approach using a literature-based research method was employed to analyze theories, empirical findings, and pedagogical models focusing on the integration of cognitive and affective domains in physical education. Data were obtained through a systematic review of scientific articles published between 2010 and 2025 from databases such as Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Taylor & Francis, and SpringerLink. The results indicate that instructional models such as Teaching Games for Understanding (TGfU) and Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) effectively enhance strategic thinking, self-reflection, social empathy, and moral awareness among students. Moreover, the physical literacy framework successfully integrates physical, cognitive, and affective domains into a holistic learning experience. Therefore, the integration of cognitive and affective approaches in physical education plays a vital role in fostering character formation, social responsibility, and psychological well-being among learners.]]>
