Entre Saberes, Fazeres e Seres: o desenvolvimento profissional de uma professora estagiária

Abstract

This internship took place at Escola Pêro Vaz de Caminha, within the scope of the master's degree in physical education teaching in Basic and Secondary Education and aimed to provide student-teachers with practical teaching experience in a real educational context. The internship focused on the development of three main areas: Area 1 - Organization and Management of Teaching and Learning; Area 2 - Participation in the School and Relations with the Community; and Area 3 - Professional Development. It also involved the implementation of different methodologies studied during the first year of the master's programme. Throughout the school year, I followed my resident class, taking responsibility for all dimensions of the teaching and learning process, including planning, pedagogical practice, assessment, and reflection. I also participated in projects and extracurricular activities, worked collaboratively with the Internship Group, and engaged in the observation of pedagogical practices. As part of my professional development, I carried out research in an educational context, specifically on Project-Based Learning: the case of the SEI Project. The study focused on students' perceptions regarding motivation, participation, and the teacher's role. This experience allowed me to develop academic, social, and personal competences. It was a fundamental moment to articulate theory and practice, preparing me for the future, even if it does not necessarily involve a direct career in education.
