Entre Passes, Quedas e Evoluções: A Jornada de um Futuro Professor de Educação Física no Estágio Profissional

Abstract

This report presents the trajectory of my professional school placement, carried out in one secondary school and one basic and secondary school during the 2024/2025 academic year, within the Master's Degree in Physical Education Teaching at FADEUP. The document is structured into three main areas that reflect the learning, experiences, and challenges encountered. Area 1 ( Organization and Management of Teaching and Learning) focused on the planning and delivery of lessons with 6th and 10th grade classes. The application of the Sport Education Model allowed me to explore strategies to engage all students, despite differences in skills and motivation. The teaching practice required flexibility, classroom management, and constant adaptation, which were decisive factors in my growth as a future teacher. Area 2 (Participation in the School and Relationship with the Community) centered on extracurricular activities, which strengthened my connection with the school community and highlighted that the teaching role extends beyond the classroom, also taking place in informal contexts that foster integration into school life. Finally, Area 3(Evolution of Badminton Game Performance in 10th-Grade Students During Participation in a Teaching Unit Based on the SEM) assumed a more investigative dimension, analyzing the impact of student-centered practices, particularly the Sport Education Model. The results showed improvements in motivation, decision-making, and technical performance, confirming the value of intentional pedagogical choices. In retrospect, this internship was a challenging but, above all, transformative process. It contributed to my personal and professional development and reinforced the importance of a reflective, critical, and reality-based teaching practice.
