The perspective to introduce specialist teachers in primary school to teach physical education, for a minimum taught time of two hours a week, is a challenge for the Italian schools, because of cultural and institutional issue of primary school. In this new scenario to encourage the teaching of physical education by specialists, it is necessary to avoid rigid disciplinary models that could substantially isolate the subjects by limiting their educational and training aspects, envisaging interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary models able to fully exploiting contents and methods, following the logic of the link, of the integration, of the continuous exchange between the different disciplines, organizing in a complementary way the different knowledges. In the implementation of the reform on the current organization of primary schools, however, it emerges inapplicability which should be verified in the issuance of the decree, avoiding automatic applications that could nullify the scientific-cultural efforts in support of such reform in case of didactic difficulty- organization in the implementation of the same.
