Abstract
Responsibility is an essential character attribute expected to develop through Physical Education (PE), yet its implementation in junior secondary schools remains limited. This literature review aims to identify effective teacher strategies for fostering students’ personal and social responsibility by synthesizing findings from recent empirical studies. Articles were retrieved from Scopus, Taylor & Francis, ERIC, PubMed, Google Scholar, and national repositories using the keywords physical education, teacher strategies, responsibility, TPSR, and middle school students. From 100 identified articles, 12 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. The review reveals that the Teaching Personal and Social Responsibility (TPSR) model is the most consistently effective approach for enhancing responsibility through relational engagement, leadership opportunities, and structured value reflection. Autonomy-supportive teaching also plays a significant role by strengthening students’ intrinsic motivation and self-regulation. Additionally, humanistic pedagogical approaches such as Assessment for Learning and asset-based learning contribute to the development of empathy, self-reflection, and active participation. Overall, this review highlights the importance of holistic, participatory, and value-oriented instructional strategies in cultivating responsibility among junior secondary PE students and recommends integrating TPSR with humanistic approaches as practical implications while outlining opportunities for future research in the Indonesian context.
