The study of the effectiveness of teaching action is a means of pedagogical intervention which has been the subject of a large body of research. Most researchers emphasize the possibilities in pedagogy, and more particularly in motor education where there is some practical material, about the use of methods based on verbal interventions. In motor education, the teacher, in order to improve the learning conditions, uses verbal exchanges, he instructs the class by organizing the tasks, by making the landmarks contained to all the students in the class can be carried out in an indirect way. The objective of our study is the proxemic analysis of the teacher’s action for our population composed of eight teachers of motor activities during learning ensured by an improvement in communication and integration of autistic children much more than the modes of intervention. The results of our research, justified by a qualitative mode, are articulated with the quantitative mode. Our research therefore strives to construct, from an exploratory perspective, elements of an answer. It is therefore a question of laying the premises of a new approach, based on a study focused on certain elements of teaching action based on pedagogical intervention. Our work is based on research work whose subject is proximity. Our study on the difference in distance by tool to compare the repertoires of the four PE teachers teaching motor activity to subjects with autism. We are interested in what actually happens in motor performance optimization sessions, and we want to describe and understand the role of teacher distance in the teaching-learning process. We seek to see how the different types of distance used by the teacher during the transmission of knowledge participate in the didactic techniques of chronogenesis, topogenesis and mesogenesis in order to respond to the different situations encountered within the didactic system. All of this research is part of a comparison. It aims to characterize the proxemic productions of the four PE teachers and to identify their didactic functionalities.
