Os desafios de um Professor de Educação Física com Dislexia

Abstract

I completed my Professional Internship at the Pedrouços Basic and Secondary School as a trainee teacher in the subject of Physical Education. This report aims to describe all the work carried out as a trainee teacher throughout the academic year. The document is structured into several chapters. In the Introduction, I provide a brief overview of all the work developed during the internship year. In the Personal and Professional Framework chapter, I describe my personal journey leading up to the Professional Internship and share insights on the current importance and undervaluation of Physical Education, while also reflecting on the teaching profession. In the section dedicated to the Institutional Framework, I discuss the host school, the internship group, and the cooperating teacher. In the Organization and Management of Teaching and Learning section, I present my main class and the shared class. In the chapter related to Teaching Practice, I describe the work carried out as a teacher, covering planning (annual, didactic unit, lesson plan), teacher-student relationships, teaching models, my role as a Physical Education teacher, assessment, and the processes of reflection and observation. In the Participation in the School-Community Dimension section, I describe my experience in Citizenship classes, School Sports, internal school activities, and in organizing a sports event. In the Professional Development section, I reflect on the challenges I had to overcome as a dyslexic individual throughout my academic journey and share my experience as a trainee teacher. In the Final Considerations, I provide an overview of what I learned during the internship and outline my future intentions. Finally, I present my research study, which aimed to develop an intervention proposal to promote the transition of students from a Low Performance level to higher performance levels. This intervention was based on the application of two student-centered teaching models: Peer Teaching and Cooperative Learning.
