Abstract
Teaching sports skills in physical education highlighted an issue of a low level of fundamental sports
skills among students. To address this issue, this study aims to come up with a framework that could help
physical education teachers enhance sports skills acquisition among students. Additionally, the study also
answered the research question; How has the process of sports skills acquisition evolved in physical education?
Using a systematic review analysis, data were obtained and analyzed systematically using codes, themes, and
categories where possible patterns, content similarities, and research characteristics can be transcribed as
essential themes to address the research problem. The results of the study consolidated the final themes that
answered the research question. The final themes include “Cognitive Skills, Training, Assessment, and
Technology.” Therefore, for the students in physical education to acquire sports skills, it is essential to focus on
developing cognitive skills, enhancing training activity interventions, improving assessment strategies, and
integrating technological applications to have a well-structured physical education program for sports
development in meeting their diverse needs and abilities. Thus, this study can be replicated, compared, and
contrasted by other research enthusiasts in the future who have similar interests in the field of physical
education, who are passionate about fostering an active engagement in physical education, exploring the
significant development of acquiring skills in sports, best practices, challenges, and innovations that have
influenced the evolution of sports skills in physical education over time.
