A transição do papel de discente para a responsabilidade docente: Um percurso de descoberta e evolução

Abstract

This Internship Report was developed within the scope of the Professional Internship of the Master's Degree in Physical Education Teaching in Basic and Secondary Education at the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto, carried out at Jovim and Foz de Sousa Basic School, part of the Gondomar School Cluster, during the 2025-2026 school year. This document presents a critical reflection on the path developed throughout the Supervised Teaching Practice, highlighting the experiences, challenges, and learning outcomes that contributed to the construction of my professional identity as a future Physical Education teacher. The report addresses the main dimensions of the pedagogical practice developed, including the internship context, the organization and management of the teaching-learning process, participation in school life, and professional development. Throughout this process, efforts were made to implement a pedagogical practice adapted to students' characteristics, promoting inclusive, motivating, and supportive learning environments. Within the scope of professional development, a research study was conducted focusing on the comparison between the Block Planning Model and the Staged Planning Model in Physical Education. The results showed that the Block Planning Model favored the consolidation of learning, whereas the Staged Planning Model promoted greater dynamism and diversity in classes. The internship experience allowed a deeper understanding of the complexity of the teaching profession and contributed to the consolidation of pedagogical, organizational, relational, and reflective competencies essential for professional practice.
