Ensinar e Aprender: A travessia pedagógica de um professor estagiário

Abstract

The Professional School Placement is the last stage of the Master's Degree in Physical Education in Primary and Secondary Education, at the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto. It is characterized by a demanding year on a personal and professional levels, decisive for the quality of the preservice teachers teaching in Physical Education. Therefore, this document, describes how during the process, I built my professional identity, developing pedagogical dimensions (i.e., classroom management and instruction), involving students in the teaching learning process and reinforcing the assessment role for the development of student´s. Simultaneously, I experienced teaching strategies and models (i.e., The Sport Education Model, Step Game Approach, Cooperative Learning Model and Direct Instruction Model) in order to assist these pedagogical components. Likewise, is emphasized in the way I got involved with the school community, having developed activities, together with the preservice peers and with the Physical Education Curriculum Department, that offered greater knowledge and involvement with the discipline on topics such as health and sport. I also developed a research study in my class in Volleyball, titled as "Development on Volleyball game performance during the implementation of Step Game Approach and ability grouping in high school" which intended to verify the impact of the model and teaching by ability grouping on game performance. Therefore, this document reflects my work developed throughout the academic year of 2023/2024, ending with final considerations and future perspectives in relation to teaching.
