Estágio Profissional: O Caminho sinuoso e apaixonante de uma Promessa

Abstract

The School Placement: The Winding and Passionate Path of a Promise is a document that chronicles a school year filled with numerous experiences, part of the Master's in Physical Education Teaching in Primary and Secondary Education at the Faculty of Sport, University of Porto. The school placement took place at a school in the Barcelos municipality, with the core team consisting of three trainee students, a cooperating teacher, and a supervising teacher. Throughout this journey, I was supported and motivated by my family, university, and the cooperating school. To meet the challenges of the academic year, educational approaches were applied to address the individual needs of the students, promoting their overall development. This primarily focused on enhancing the motor, socio-affective, and cognitive domains, with the aim of fostering a holistic education. This report presents experiences and insights divided into seven chapters. In the first chapter, I introduce and contextualize the professional internship. The second chapter involves self-reflection. The third chapter provides institutional context and an overview of the resident class. In the fourth section, I address planning, the implemented models, and the assessment component. I then enumerate and reflect on my involvement in school community activities. The sixth chapter focuses on research, titled "Implementation of the Cooperative Learning Model (Jigsaw Learning): Effects on the Development of Student Autonomy in a Dance Didactic Unit". I conclude with final considerations and future perspectives.
