<![CDATA[Teacher self-efficacy has been shown to be related to teaching competence, perseverance, and student learning outcomes, making it an important focus in pre-professional teacher education. As one important psychological factor, self-efficacy predicts how well the pre-service teacher can perform teaching skills in real situations and ultimately enhances their job satisfactions. There are numbers of study on physical education which attempted to enhance physical education teacher competencies, but there is no literature review which specifically shows how course design may develop pre-service physical education teachers’ self-efficacy. This systematic review analyzed nine articles published from 2014 to 2024 to reveal the impact of PETE courses designed to improve pre-service physical education teachers’ self-efficacy. The findings showed that the courses designed to optimize the fulfilment of sources of self-efficacy can improve pre-service teachers’ self-efficacy. This study confirms the importance of course design in physical education teacher education. Recommendations for practice and further research are discussed in this paper]]>
