The Sport Education Model in the Development of Psychosocial Factors in Primary School: A Systematic Review

Year: 2026

Type: review

Abstract: Physical Education (PE) in primary education seems to be a privileged context for working on psychosocial factors, and the Sports Education Model (SEM) is of interest because of its potential in this regard. The purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review to analyse the influence of the SEM on the psychosocial factors of primary school students. A systematic review based on the PRISMA guidelines was conducted using the Web of Science, Scopus, SportDiscus, ERIC and PsycInfo databases. The review analysed scientific literature examining the relationship between the SEM in Primary PE and psychosocial factors. The results found in the 20 articles included indicated that the SEM has a positive influence on psychosocial factors. The main conclusion is that this model may be of interest for the development or improvement of psychosocial factors in primary school students.
