O processo de construção da minha identidade profissional como Professor de Educação Física

Abstract

This document presents the process of the trainee teacher's development, resulting from the curricular practicum, of the master's degree in Middle and High School Physical Education Teaching, based at Faculdade de Desporto da Universidade do Porto. During the practicum, I faced many challenges in which I had to create and plan strategies for a diverse school context, with the participation of a multicultural class and the collaboration of the practicum group. Counting on the continuous support of both the cooperating teacher from the school and the faculty's professor, the knowledge sharing, and supervision led to the development of essential pedagogical skills, which constitute the main objective of this report: Reporting the practicum process and share my experiences as a trainee teacher. The report begins with personal characterization, initial expectations about practicum and the cooperating school's contextualization. Then, it's addressed the application and planning of teaching and learning activities, in which there will be a contemplation of the process's operationalization. Finally, the research project focuses on analyzing the duration of physical activity in physical education classes and determining the behaviors that influenced student performance. In this study participated four nineth grade classes and the results showed that handball classes promoted overall greater student participation and involvement, unlike athletics, which were hampered by lapses in organization and long waiting times. This professional internship proved to be an ideal space for the acquisition of abilities and knowledge, being very favorable for the development of reflective abilities by the trainee teacher.
