O processo de construção profissional de um (futuro) professor de Educação Física

Abstract

This report is part of the Professional School Placement of the 2nd year of the Master's Degree in Teaching Physical Education in Primary and Secondary Education, at the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto (FADEUP). It describes a profoundly enriching formative experience, characterised by personal and professional growth, constant adaptation to the school context, and the unpredictability of certain conditions. Structured into three main areas, the report covers: the personal and institutional framework; (i) the organisation and management of teaching and learning, highlighting pedagogical planning, the implementation of student-centred practices, the diversification of strategies, and reflective assessment; (ii) active participation in school life and the wider community, with emphasis on initiatives such as "Xico na Serra" and the school cross-country event; and (iii) professional development, demonstrated through a focus on equity in practice time and the adoption of inclusive pedagogical models. The research study carried out explored the equity of actions during 3x3 basketball games. This internship represented a key milestone in teacher education, fostering the consolidation of pedagogical competences and reinforcing the importance of critical reflection and ongoing professional development.
