Estrategias metodologicas para fomentar la motivación en clases de educación física en básica superior: revision bibliografica

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the methodological strategies with the strongest scientific evidence for promoting motivation in Physical Education classes among upper basic education students through a systematic literature review. The study was conducted according to the PRISMA 2020 statement guidelines. A structured search was performed in specialized scientific databases, applying previously defined inclusion and exclusion criteria to select studies published between 2021 and 2025 related to the research topic. The included studies were qualitatively analyzed using an information extraction matrix. The findings showed that gamification, cooperative learning, the integration of educational technologies, and strategies focused on strengthening autonomy and emotional intelligence are the methodologies with the strongest empirical support for increasing student motivation. Likewise, these strategies promote active participation, meaningful learning, and the development of social skills. It is concluded that the implementation of active methodologies represents an effective alternative for transforming teaching and learning processes in Physical Education by promoting more inclusive, dynamic, and student-centered educational experiences.
