Method: We considered two paradigms of the science to develop the following methodology: i) TGMD-2 test to assess proficiency in fundamental motor skills and infer motor coordination of students; ii) systematic observations and notes in the field diary of the Physical Education classes of these same students. Results: It was observed, for example, that there wasn't usually a systematic concern with an evaluation within the teaching work organization. Conclusions: We conclude that there is a drop in the motor proficiency of students between the 1st and 5th year of elementary school and that basic elements of the organization of teaching work were not verified in the teaching approach, something that raises an interface between these two variables that make up the school routine Physical Education.
