Type: article
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: : Introduction: Physical Education (PE) plays a key role in promoting social inclusion through active methodologies that favor the equal participation of all students. Aim: The objective of the study is to analyze and systematize the active methodologies used in the area of Physical Education to promote social inclusion. Methods: Thereby, a systematic review was carried out, under the PRISMA approach, to analyze active methodologies that promote social inclusion through Physical Education, accessing the Web of Science and Scopus databases. 15 articles were analyzed. Results & discussion: These articles focused on Cooperative Learning, the Personal and Social Responsibility model and Service-Learning, among others. The interventions were shown to improve inclusion, social interaction and motor and socioemotional development. In addition, the impact of inclusive sports in reducing barriers and building positive attitudes towards diversity is highlighted. Conclusions: The results show that the implementation of these methodologies in PE contributes significantly to social inclusion, although there are still challenges in their application that require more attention in future research.
