O Papel da Motivação na Educação Física: Estratégias para Envolver Alunos

Abstract

This report brings together the main moments and reflections resulting from the supervised teaching practice, carried out in a Basic and Secondary School, integrated in a Priority Educational Intervention Territory (TEIP). I begin with a personal presentation, where I share my academic background and my initial expectations regarding the teaching profession. Next, I present my vision of education, the role of the school, the importance of the Physical Education subject, and the place of the teacher in this process. Further on, I provide a brief characterization of the school context and of the classes with which I worked throughout the school year. In the description of the practice, I address the different levels of planning (annual, teaching units, and lesson plans), and how these were applied in the reality of teaching. I also share the practical experience in the real classroom context, the participation in co-teaching moments with other classes, as well as the observation of classes taught by fellow trainee teachers and the cooperating teacher. Within the scope of the school-community dynamic, I highlight my participation in activities such as Gira Vólei and skating, in the context of School Sports. Finally, I present my action-research project, entitled "The Role of Motivation in Physical Education: Strategies to Engage Students," which sought to explore ways of increasing student engagement in classes.
