Confinamento Covid-19: Um olhar dos estudantes- estagiários de Educação Física [Covid-19 Confinement: A glimpse of Physical Education pre-service teachers]

Abstract

The suspension of all in-person teaching activities due to the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in a reconfiguration of face-to-face teaching for distance learning. A qualitative, exploratory and descriptive study was carried out with the purpose of examining the perceptions of students interns about the formative and pedagogical processes experienced in the context of Covid-19 confinement. Data were obtained through the analysis of the Final Reports of Supervised Teaching Practice developed by twenty-seven trainee students of the second cycle of studies in Physical Education Teaching in Basic and Secondary Education of the University Institute of Maia (ISMAI), in the academic year 2019/2020. The qualitative analysis of the data used thematic analysis strategies and codification procedures of the grounded theory. The following themes emerged: (i) Context with profound changes in the organization and management of schools, both in teaching and learning; (ii) Planning and Implementation using innovative teaching and evaluation methodologies, supported by new technologies; (iii) Evaluation with different strategies and focus on the students motivation for the discipline and (iv) Reflection, which evidences a feeling of challenges successfully overcome and (dis)virtualization of the figure of the teacher in the educational process.
