Motor learning and didactics into physical education and sport documents in middle school-first cycle of education in Italy

Since 2003 in Italy, the education of physical activity into school has been changing continuously by the Minister of Education University and Research and it is updated every three or four years, as well as it happens for the other subjects. At the same time, new discoveries on the brain aspects of the mechanism of how the students learn the motor and sports skills change the traditional vision. So,there is a new question on teaching method and didactics on physical education and sport to aim a better outcomes. Actually, there is not a accurate theoretical study on this question, thus this work will deep on new scientific evidences to verify if they are applied on didactics and teaching method and if these aspects are in current ministerial document for the middle school, final frame of first cycle of education. The first step is to analyze the documents and regulation rules and the second one is to describe the recent paradigm on the basis of movement and, finally, to evaluate if the motor learning contents are update according to the new scientific evidences. It uses an integrated method that joins, in one hand, a historical and documentary approach to describe the evolution steps, particularly on theoretical paradigms on motor learning didactics. In the other hand, it uses an argumentative deductive approach to talk about on new discoveries on motor control and learning. Results do not carry out any particular aspects connected to the new theories applied motor control and learning. All ministerial documents do not provide any reference of specificity of motor control system and its classification. Furthermore, there are not any innovative elements on didactics and teaching methods according to scientific paradigms. It appears a repetitively traditional corpus of documents that must be changed. Physical education and sport documents need a new vision to address a new approach to didactics. It may be useful to examine closely the study by the experts for the necessary deepening to fill the vacuum.
