Realizar um sonho: Aprender a ser professor num ensino centrado no aluno

Abstract

This Professional School Placement report provides a critical analysis of the supervised teaching practice developed within the Master's Degree in Physical Education Teaching for Basic and Secondary Education, at the Faculty of Sport, University of Porto, in the context of Escola Secundária Francisco de Holanda, in Guimarães. The report presents the preservice teacher's personal and professional development, the characterization of the school setting, the resident class and the shared classes, as well as the organization of teaching, annual planning, unit planning, and lesson planning. It also highlights the use of different pedagogical models, the integration of digital technologies, assessment processes, and participation in school and community activities. Overall, the experience contributed to the consolidation of pedagogical, didactic, relational, and reflective competencies, emphasizing the importance of contextual adaptation, critical reflection, and collaborative work in the construction of the future Physical Education teacher's professional identity. Within the scope of Area 2, related to participation in school and the relationship with the educational community, the report emphasizes experiences of collaboration and involvement in dynamics beyond direct classroom teaching. This dimension enabled the student-teacher to engage more broadly in school life, participating in activities, projects, and interactions with different educational agents, thereby strengthening the sense of belonging to the school and deepening the understanding of the social and educational role of the Physical Education teacher. Area 3 proved fundamental in consolidating competencies of cooperation, responsibility, communication, and educational intervention in broader contexts, reinforcing the importance of the school as a space for holistic education and the construction of meaningful educational relationships.
