Educação Física: aprendizagem para a vida e uma vida de aprendizagem

Abstract

The present report was carried out within the scope of the Professional Internship with the intention of obtaining the Master's degree in Physical Education Teaching in Basic and Secondary Education. The Professional Internship was accomplished at the Escola Secundária de Ermesinde, with the collaboration of the Cooperating Professor and the Advisor Teacher and two additional fellow Interns within the Internship Nucleus. In it, I will address the topic of the individualization of students' education and the importance of setting realistic and stimulating goals, in addition to the correlation with expectations generated in students and how we should transmit positive expectations, based on my own experience in class, and the effects of these issues on the students. This was undoubtedly the most important stage of my professional life and the gateway to the so desired professionalization. Throughout the school year, I came across a series of moments relevant to my learning: the use of various teaching models in different categories and classes, distance learning instigated by the pandemic, class introspection, observations, meetings, assessments, etc. The participation in school activities, such as class councils and sports activities organized by the school, completed my formation and were able to put me in the position of a future Physical Education Teacher. Here are some suggestions for curriculum, operation and methodologies for teaching Physical Education in a school context. I conclude this report with some future perspectives of what I intend to be in my professional practice, comprising a critical analysis of all the work done during this year. This document reflects all of the experiences I have undergone as a Trainee Teacher, be it in a descriptive or reflective structure, displaying the entire process of building my professional identity, such as my conceptions of the teaching-learning process and my practice in School, from planning to evaluation.
