Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this review was to examine and describe the characteristics of sport and physical education-focused interventions that have been implemented in educational contexts to raise awareness toward disability. Method: A systematic review of journal-based literature published on disability awareness sport and physical education interventions impacting on students and preservice teachers was conducted. The article selection process included three phases based on PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Results: A total of 43 articles, spanning from 1992 to 2023, were analyzed in this study. Most reviewed research was from authors in Spain or the United States, and quantitative designs were most often used. Interventions were carried out across primary schools, secondary schools, and university settings, with most research coming from the university setting. Discussion/Conclusion: The results of this review demonstrate an abundance of empirically tested resources that can be utilized within elementary, secondary, and university physical education contexts to help enhance attitudes and self-efficacy toward students with disabilities.
