Lições e Desafios de uma Professora Estagiária de Educação Física

Abstract

The present Internship Report describes the period of the Professional Internship, part of the Master's in Teaching Physical Education in Primary and Secondary Education at the Faculty of Sports of the University of Porto. It is a process characterized by Supervised Teaching Practice, carried out over the course of an academic year at Escola Básica 2,3 de Lamaçães, Braga. Throughout the document, the learning experiences during the teaching practice are discussed with a strong emphasis on reflection. The first chapter, titled Personal Framework, contains my personal introduction and summarizes the expectations and initial days of the Professional Internship. The following chapter, Conceptions, addresses topics such as reflection and the role of the Physical Education teacher, followed by the Institutional Framework. The document is then divided into three chapters: Framework of Pedagogical Practice - Area 1, Organization and Management of Teaching and Learning, which covers planning, teaching evaluation, and details my experience as a trainee teacher; Area 2, Participation in School, outlining both planned and extracurricular activities carried out at the school; and Area 3, investigative essay, where a qualitative investigative essay was developed on students' perceptions of their grades in Physical Education. Finally, the Conclusions and Future Perspectives section offers a final reflection on the Professional Internship and future ambitions.
