O início da profissão docente: o pêndulo entre desafios e conquistas

Abstract

This document relates a school placement report aiming to complete the study cycle related to the degree of Master in Teaching Physical Education in Basic and Secondary Education. This report describes the experiences and progress of the intern student during his Supervised Teaching Practice. Between the impact of expectations and the reality of each school, the future teacher must be able to use the most appropriate methodologies to achieve previously established objectives. In order to fill gaps in the art of teaching, reflection becomes the basis for solving problems arising from pedagogical practice. The presented document aims to describe the process of professional development of the trainee teacher by dividing it into several areas of importance. One of the major areas, corresponding to the organization and management of the teachinglearning process, includes an approach to conceptions, planning, implementation and evaluation in teaching and also the impact of previous experiences in both a personal and academic context on the aforementioned process. Another highlight refers to the integration of the trainee teacher into the school community and the activities that arose within it. At the conclusion of this document, an epitome of the path and learning acquired during the student intern's pedagogical teaching practice is made through the comparison between the beginning and the end of this period of evolution of their identity.
