A model-based approach appeared to be the most, but not the only effective designs in the examined interventions.

Study aim: This systematic review drew the significant findings of carefully selected interventions to promote the social and moral competence (SC and MC, respectively) of children and adolescents mostly by investigating the effect of these interventions and focusing on strategies used.
Material and methods: A number of English written, electronic databases (e.g., EBSCO, EBSCOhost Web, ERIC, Master FILE Premier, SPORT, SPORT Discus, and Web of Science) and grey literature – from 2005 to the present – were consulted from September 2021 to December 2021. School-based intervention studies that assessed moral competence (MC) or social competence (SC) were eligible for inclusion. The studies were stratified by pre-school and primary school children (<12 years of age) and adolescents (≥12 years of age). A total of N = 24 documents referring to different intervention studies were included in the review. N = 10 interventions focused on children; while N = 14 targeted adolescents.
Results: The most used strategies in the interventions were the ones that included components of MC or evaluated SC using specific protocols and tools.
Conclusions: This review pointed at socio-emotional and moral skills which remained underdeveloped in school children unless physical education (PE) teachers adjusted teaching contents and methods during instruction; and implement them into interventions with strategies that targeted elements fostering the sound socio-moral development of a child into adulthood. A model-based approach appeared to be the most, but not the only effective designs in the examined interventions.
