UM PROFESSOR NÃO ENSINA TUDO, MAS ENSINA QUASE, QUASE... TUDO "?"

Abstract

This report was prepared within the scope of the Practicum in the second year of the second cycle in Physical Education Teaching for Basic and Secondary Education at the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto. The practicum took place at Escola Secundária das Laranjeiras in the Azores. As an pre-service teacher, I was remunerated for the work performed throughout the academic year, and in this context, I was assigned two classes for which I bore full responsibility, from lesson delivery to participation in class councils and meetings. The report is structured into four distinct parts: the first addresses the overall framework of professional practice, including a detailed analysis of the general, institutional and functional context related to the internship; the second focuses on the pedagogical practice developed, presenting reflections and descriptions of the experiences lived and the roles undertaken as a teacher within the three core areas of the Professional Internship, Organization and Management of Teaching and Learning, Participation in School Life and Relations with the Community, and Professional Development; the third is devoted to the research study, which sought to determine which dimension is most utilized by physical education teachers in the classroom; and the fourth presents the final considerations, offering an overview of the Professional Internship. The experience underlined the importance of rigorous documentation, continuous research, and engagement in school activities to consolidate a reflective, ethical teaching practice centered on the holistic development of students.
