Abstract

Hellison's Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility Model (TPSR) is an innovative methodology focused on promoting the increase of students' responsibility. Its origin lies in the pursuit of students' holistic development, and its effectiveness has been proven for years, especially in the subject of Physical Education during Secondary Education. This systematic review, developed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines, aims to identify and examine interventions that have implemented this model in this educational stage and subject. The search for documents was carried out in the WOS, Scopus, PsycINFO, and ERIC databases, as well as in other websites and in the reference lists of the selected articles from these databases. Inclusion criteria were applied according to the PICO strategy, resulting in a total of 14 studies. These studies indicate that the implementation of the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility Model in Physical Education produces notable improvements in variables such as personal and social responsibility, intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, self-regulation, and prosocial behaviors among Secondary Education students. Likewise, it is emphasized that the hybridization of this model with others, such as Gamification or the Sport Education Model, further increases its effectiveness. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility Model, either individually or through hybridization with other models, has a positive impact on the psychosocial variables of Secondary Education students, promoting their holistic development through Physical Education.
