Abstract

Physical education has evolved from its approaches focused on physical activity towards holistic and adaptive models, with one of the latest methodological currents used for this purpose being Non- Linear Pedagogy. In the present review, the PRISMA protocol was followed to identify relevant studies published between 2018 and 2024 that investigated the application of this methodology, using platforms such as Web of Science and Scopus, and applying inclusion/exclusion criteria to select appropriate articles. The review included 21 studies that showed significant improvements in motor, cognitive and social skills through Non-Linear Pedagogy, highlighting the adaptability of this approach to various educational situations and its ability to promote more inclusive and effective learning in Physical Education. The importance of this model was analyzed, highlighting its holistic approach and its ability to foster creativity and adaptability in students during class. The adoption of Non-Linear Pedagogy in Physical Education is essential to prepare students and athletes for future challenges, promoting more meaningful and adaptive learning in a constantly evolving educational context.
