Abstract

The present document corresponds to the school placement report of a preservice teacher within the curricular unit "Professional school placement", included in the Masters' in Physical Education Teaching in Basic Schooling from the Faculty of Sports of Porto University. The Professional school placement is the last stage of this masters and, it is, no doubt, something one is very excited about. During this year I had the chance to put into practice every learning that was transmitted to me by the Masters' teachers and from Bachelors' and it was a year full of unique learnings and feelings. This document starts with sharing part of my personal history, namely my connection with sports, and some crucial experiences for me to be doing this path. Following, I conceptualize a framework of the school organization and classes that I had the chance to teach, as well as the Internship Team, the University Supervisor and Cooperative Teacher, both essentials for this experience to be so enriching. Afterwards, I explain how I operationalized the learning to teach process and all the progression I had as an Internship Teacher. Following, I describe my participation in the educational community as well as the activities and tournaments I planned or helped planning. I highlight the importance of the professors' specific content knowledge and its benefits to students. A study was conducted in relation to this topic, and it is presented in this report. Lastly, I write a reflection of all the feelings and sensations felt over this last unforgettable year.
