Estágio Profissional: O primeiro passo na jornada de uma futura professora de Educação Física

Abstract

This report was elaborated following the Professional Internship inserted in the 2nd year of the Master's of teaching and Teacher's education program in physical education from the Universidade do Porto. This is a fundamental milestone in the construction of professional identity as it enables reflection and critical analysis of various social representations historically constructed and practiced in the profession (Guimarães, 2004). Therefore, this report aims to describe and reflect on the strategies used and experiences lived throughout this year, as well as my development and evolution as a teacher. I consider myself a teacher who is based on constructivist theories and, therefore, I tried to make my practice reflect this. In other words, I tried to make students face problems in order to solve them and, making them responsible for their learning, making them an active elements in the teaching-learning process. The EP played out in a very positive way, my relationship with the students and with the other teachers was very good which facilitated the whole process. In addition, I was not confronted with problems of indiscipline or lack of motivation, on the contrary, the students were very motivated and committed, which allowed me to concentrate and be more concerned with aspects such as the preparation and teaching of classes. This document was divided into several chapters, starting with the Introduction, going through Personal and Institutional Framework, Organization and Management of Teaching/Learning and Participation in School and Relationship with the Community, ending in Conclusions and Future Perspectives. Also noteworthy is Project of Professional Development, related to the use and evolution of lesson contexts in a Volleyball UD.
