The participation of the university and the school in the supervised school placement of future teachers of Physical Education ^{1 2 3 4}

Abstract

This is a qualitative study that aimed to understand the participation of the school and the university during the supervised school placement (SSP) in Physical Education. The results and discussion highlighted: (i) the context: which comprised the elements coming from the SSP environment at school and the established relationships; (ii) the dynamics: which presented how the SSP takes place at the university and in schools and the challenges set for teachers and the concerns of pre-service teachers; and (iii) the role of teachers and their representations. As considerations it was noted that both institutions are collaborative with the SSP, but do not have extremely formative links or balanced engagement to the point of forming a partnership.
