Estágio Profissional: Dignificar a disciplina e o professor de Educação Física

Abstract

This document appears as a form of completion of a professional internship, inserted in the second year of the 2nd Cycle of Studies in Teaching Physical Education in Basic and Secondary Education, at the Faculty of Sports of the University of Porto. This portrays the entire experience lived by the trainee teacher, and its main purpose is to show their development, the learning acquired, as well as the difficulties experienced throughout the school year. The report is divided, firstly, by a personal and institutional dimension, followed by the themes of operationalization, involvement in the school community and research in the school context. The study that was carried out sought to verify the impact of an extracurricular physical exercise program on mental health in 10th grade students. All content covered by the intern teacher was validated with literature and daily reflections on his remarkable practices and experiences. This practice proved to be quite advantageous in enhancing the author's evolution. This year certainly marked the end of one of the favorite stages in a student's life, the stage that marks the beginning of a teaching career.
