A jornada de uma Estudante-Estagiária pelas cores do arco-íris

Abstract

The Professional Internship Report describes the Professional Internship, a Curricular Unit within the Master's Degree in Physical Education Teaching of Basic and Secondary Education at the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto - an experience of pedagogical practice in a real context, reporting the personal and professional development of the Student internee. This document adopts a symbolic structure, associating the colors of the rainbow with the various moments of your journey, representing the various emotions felt, the challenges faced and the learning and achievements. The Professional Internship translates into a process of immersion in the school reality, where we confront the theoretical knowledge, assimilated in the first year, with the practice already in the school context. Thus, the importance of adapting and understanding what we should use from the previous year in our current reality becomes urgent. Specifically, challenges such as planning, instruction, class management and the motivation of students with different profiles are mentioned and explored in the document. Divided into several chapters, I start by writing a personal framework, moving on to the framework of professional practice, where I develop and characterize the collaborating school, the classes, the collaborating teacher and the guiding teacher and the internship nucleus. Then, there are the chapters on the realization of the practice itself, in which I expose all the experiences, obstacles and learning lived during the school year. Along this path, I came to realize the relevance of being flexible and how to be and the construction of our professional identity, two topics that are also presented in the document. Finally, the curiosity about the perception of the Student-internees in relation to young obesity and the role of the school and teachers in combating it is highlighted, through the analysis of answers to a questionnaire. To conclude the Internship Report, I reflect on the process of the school year and expectations for a future as a Physical Education teacher.
