Cooperative leaning, Psysical Education, Pedagogical Model, Educational InnovationAbstract
The aim of this article was to identify, through a systematic literature review, how Cooperative Learning (CL) has been implemented in school Physical Education (PE) and to analyze its advantages and disadvantages over the last 20 years. Twenty-nine studies were selected from the CAPES, ERIC, Scopus, EBSCOhost, Web of Science, and BVS databases, following the BEME protocol. CL proved effective in interventions and hybridizations, enhancing cognitive, motor, and socio-emotional benefits. In non-intervention studies, the reported advantages and limitations converged with literature. There is a tendency toward more planned implementations with a greater number of lessons. The combination with other pedagogical models created more engaging environments. Future research should explore the topic in Portuguese-speaking countries and in secondary education, considering cultural and structural challenges.
