Abstract
The study aims to systematically review the literature on the curriculum content of group games in physical education (PE) in northern Iraq. Overall, eight studies published between 2015 and 2021 were analysed on major research objectives, methodologies, and outcomes, guided by two research questions: ‘What were the key research objectives, methods, and outcomes of the selected studies in this systematic review?’ And ‘What are the general objectives of PE, the standards for selecting the contents of curricula, and the types of assessments used in PE?’. This study aims to provide a guide for Northern Iraqi universities on how to incorporate group games into PE based on the analysis of the related current literature. For that reason, researchers have primarily used quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches to investigate learning phenomena, with most studies indicating positive learning outcomes. Besides, most studies were conducted in the formal educational setting, revealing three general objectives of PE: psychokinetic, social-emotional, and knowledge. The standards for selecting curricula contents include validity/effectiveness, self-sufficiency, significance, interest, learnability, utility, and consistency with social realities. Moreover, three types of assessments were used in PE: cognitive assessment, summative assessment, and formative assessment. The findings shed light on the main curriculum content of PE and how group games can potentially be included in the curriculum of PE in educational settings.
