Abstract

This document is the result of a structured reflection on the experiences had during the Professional Internship of the 2nd cycle of studies leading to the degree of Master in Teaching Physical Education in Primary and Secondary Education, held at António Nobre Secondary School, located in the district of Porto, which provides 3rd cycle schooling as well as Secondary, Regular and Vocational Education. Based on the knowledge obtained throughout the course of training, it presents the discussions and important reflections related to my path, to my training, and to the evolution of the professional internship conducted at this stage of the course, which culminated in the transformation of my professional identity. This internship report is divided into six parts: Part I, "The self", seeks to answer "who am I", where do I come from, my experiences and expectations, what do I think about school, teaching, and physical education itself. Part II, "The school", represents the space, the place, the regulations and reference guidelines for the internship at António Nobre school. Part III, "The internship", is meant for the presentation of those involved in the whole process of construction and transformation of my professional identity. Part IV, "Physical Education", is more complex, and analyses the elaboration of the planning, the carrying out, the evaluation of the teaching, and the professional practice in the classroom, reflecting on the constituent elements of the actions of teaching and learning Physical Education. Part V, which reflects on Professional Development, is devoted to the presentation of the study conducted in conjunction with the Internship Core (NE) with the purpose of investigating the expectations of the students in the 10th Year of the Support Technician in Sports Management and Sports Technician studies. And lastly, Part VI, "Professional Transformation", which intends to conclude this report, expressing where I have reached, the achievements and the prospects for the future.
