Relatório de práticas pedagógicas na Escola Secundária Força do Povo

Abstract

This report describes the activities developed during the teaching internship carried out at the Força do Povo Secondary School in Maputo, as part of the Portuguese Language Teaching course at Eduardo Mondlane University. The internship is a fundamental stage of teacher training, allowing the theoretical knowledge acquired throughout the course to be reconciled with classroom practice. The general objective of this work is to report the experiences lived during the internship period and, specifically, to describe the physical and administrative structure of the school, the lesson planning processes, and the evaluation processes applied at the school. The methodology consisted of a bibliographic review of referenced authors, analysis of internal school documents, and participant observation of teaching practices in 8th-grade classes. During the internship, Portuguese language content was taught, with an emphasis on normative and administrative texts, and challenges related to the time allotted for classes, literacy levels, and students' difficulties in solving exercises were identified. As a means of overcoming challenges, the simultaneous presentation of content with notes on the board, the use of synonyms, and written corrective feedback were adopted, concluding, therefore, that the internship strengthened didactic-pedagogical skills and demonstrated that the quality of teaching depends on teacher training, school infrastructure, and student motivation.(TRADUÇAO NOSSA)
