"Entre o Aprender e o Ensinar: Trajetória Vivenciada no Estágio Profissional"

Abstract

This Practicum Report was prepared as part of the Master's Program in Physical Education Teaching in Elementary and Secondary Schools, with the aim of describing, analyzing, and reflecting on the experience gained during the teaching internship. This process constituted a fundamental stage of initial training, allowing for the integration of theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the program and its application in a real teaching context. Throughout the practicum, various areas of intervention were developed, such as the organization and management of teaching and learning, planning, assessment, and pedagogical practice. This practice sought to focus on students' needs, promoting meaningful learning through the adaptation of teaching strategies, pedagogical differentiation, task progression, and the use of pedagogical feedback as a tool for guiding and improving learning. Systematic reflection on practice also played a fundamental role, contributing to the development of an increasingly conscious, critical, and context-appropriate approach to teaching. At the same time, a research project was conducted on the topic of the teacher-student relationship in the context of physical education, with the aim of understanding teachers' perceptions of the importance of this relationship in the teaching-learning process. To this end, a qualitative methodology was employed, involving semi-structured interviews with fifteen physical education teachers. The results highlighted the importance attributed to building positive relationships based on trust, respect, empathy, and communication, recognizing their impact on student motivation,participation, and engagement. In summary, the teaching practicum was an experience of high educational value, allowing me to consolidate professional competencies, deepen my reflective capacity, and understand the complexity of the teaching profession. The experiences gained throughout this journey contributed significantly to the construction of my professional identity as a future physical education teacher.
