Impressões digitais do Estágio Profissional: construir uma identidade docente em Educação Física

Abstract

This report is part of the School Placement, carried out during the second year of the Master's Degree in Teaching Physical Education at the Basic and Secondary Education Levels at the Faculty of Sport of the University of Porto, and aims to critically and reflectively describe the work developed throughout this training experience. The internship took place in a partner school in the metropolitan area of Porto, involving the teaching of different classes and active participation in the school community, allowing direct contact with the reality of the teaching profession. Throughout this process, several activities were developed, including lesson planning, teaching, and assessment, classroom management, and participation in school activities and projects. Additionally, a research study was conducted in a teaching context, focusing on the analysis of the relationship between sleep quality, students' well-being, and their level of engagement in Physical Education classes. The results obtained revealed the existence of positive relationships between the different dimensions of well-being and students' self-reported engagement in Physical Education classes, reinforcing the importance of considering factors such as sleep, fatigue, stress and muscle soreness in the pedagogical context. This experience allowed the development of pedagogical, didactic, organizational, and reflective skills essential for the teaching profession. In conclusion, the School Placement proved to be a key stage in initial teacher education, contributing significantly to the construction of a professional identity as a future Physical Education teacher.
