Superação e resiliência: Uma jornada formativa de uma futura professora de Educação Física

Abstract

This Professional School Placement Report represents the culmination of the Professional School Placement, developed in the 2nd Cycle in Teaching Physical Education in Basic and Secondary Schools, at the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto. This Professional School Placement was carried out at a school in the Guimarães's county, which proved to be essential in shaping my personal and professional identity as a future physical education teacher. Throughout this journey, I have sought to combine the theoretical and practical knowledge acquired during my academic training with pedagogical practice. The use of different teaching models was undoubtedly a constant challenge, which allowed me to adjust strategies, improve learning, and understand the real needs of students. Reflection continued to play a central role in my Professional School Placement, allowing me to readjust my teaching and methodological strategies, as well as to make conscious and informed decisions. The collaborative work with the Supervising Professor, the Cooperating Professor, and the Internship Center promoted shared and critical learning, which was decisive for my growth as a future teacher, challenging me to step out of my comfort zone and deepen a pedagogical practice focused on promoting meaningful and inclusive learning. The research study arose from the need to deepen my knowledge of student-centered instructional models, as well as to understand the educational benefits associated with student participation in these experiences in Physical Education. This Professional School Placement Report thus reflects my experiences, the lessons I have learned, and the challenges I have overcome, highlighting my commitment to student-centered, inclusive practice based on principles of reflection, rigor, and professional development
