Estágio em Educação Física: Entre o Fim e o Começo

Abstract

This Internship Report stems from the Professional Internship of the Master's in Physical Education Teaching in Basic and Secondary Education (FADEUP), carried out over one school year at Escola Secundária Alberto Sampaio. In a reflective approach, it systematizes the learning and pedagogical decisions that shaped the practice, beginning with a personal and institutional framework and advancing to three areas of performance. Area 1 Organization and Management of Teaching and Learning describes the annual planning, teaching units, lesson plans, methodological choices, and assessment procedures. Area 2 Participation in School and Community Relations portrays involvement in School Sports, departmental events, and other school dynamics. Finally, Area 3 Professional Development is materialized in an action-research study on the inclusion of girls in mixed Physical Education classes (10th grade). Data collection combined an online questionnaire applied at the end of the 2nd term, direct observation, and informal conversations. In the 3rd term, inclusion strategies were implemented, such as balanced teams, role rotation, positive reinforcement, and group awareness, which showed greater female engagement and fairer perceptions of equity. The internship made it possible to consolidate operational practices such as setting few objectives per lesson, ensuring high active learning time, maintaining transparency in criteria, and communicating clearly, reinforcing my teaching identity based on planning with intent and adjusting with judgment so that each lesson is clear, safe, and fair for all.
