Do saber ao ser: O estágio como espaço de construção da minha identidade profissional

Abstract

The present Professional School Placement Report, prepared within the framework of the Master's Degree in Physical Education Teaching at the Basic and Secondary Schools of the Sports Faculty of the University of Porto, reflects a formative stage marked by an intense, demanding and deeply transformative year, constituting a decisive experience for my personal and professional growth. The pedagogical practice was developed in a real context of teaching, within the framework of the School Placement, involving the teaching of the subject of Physical Education to two classes of secondary education. Throughout this process, diverse pedagogical strategies were planned, implemented and evaluated, aimed at promoting learning, motivation, equity and the integral development of students, providing simultaneously a critical reflection on the intervention developed and on the challenges inherent to the teaching profession. At the same time, a research was carried out focused on the analysis of the transfer of personal and social responsibility skills developed in physical education classes to other contexts of students' lives, seeking to understand the potential of the discipline in promoting learning with meaning beyond the school space. Thus, this report constitutes an exercise in critical and reflective analysis of pedagogical practice, highlighting the challenges, difficulties experienced, strategies deployed and learning built throughout the internship, as well as the contribution of this process to the consolidation of my professional identity as a future Physical Education teacher
