A construção de uma identidade profissional: De estudante-estagiária a professora de Educação Física

Abstract

This internship report marks the conclusion of the Professional Internship, which is integrated into the second year of the master's program in Physical Education Teaching in Primary and Secondary Education at the Faculty of Sport, University of Porto (FADEUP), playing a crucial role in my education. This internship was essential for my development both professionally and personally, allowing me to apply and deepen the knowledge acquired during my academic training. Throughout the academic year, my growth was noticeable, achieving essential skills and developing new pedagogical approaches. This report highlights and emphasizes the various experiences encountered during my Supervised Teaching Practice (STP). Active participation and student accountability, the use of different technologies, and the application of various teaching models as strategies to solve pedagogical issues were essential for both my development and the progress of the students. Over the academic year, the unpredictability of the school's material and spatial conditions required a quick and effective adaptation in planning and the creation of innovative strategies to engage students in the teaching-learning process. Regarding the research study, it suggested an interest in the study of Specialized Content Knowledge, aiming to analyze the level of Specialized Content Knowledge of three intern students during the teaching of a volleyball unit. It also sought to assess potential differences in the use of tasks and in Specialized Content Knowledge across different classes. In conclusion, this report demonstrates the significance of my Professional Internship in my training as a future Physical Education Teacher, providing an enriching experience that significantly contributed to the development of my pedagogical skills.
