Abstract:

Abstract This article discusses the contributions to initial teaching resulting from three formative actions developed in two Pedagogical Practice subjects in the last two semesters of an evening degree course in Physical Education. To this end, actions for training reflective teachers are linked with teaching models based on the body movement culture as well as training, questioning and reformulating teaching plans to be used in supervised student teaching by fifteen future teachers. Statements from these future teachers, obtained through recorded interviews and transcribed according to a qualitative research approach, demonstrate the importance of such activities. By opposing the current training model of technical rationality that emphasizes the concept of physical education as a technical and sporting activity which is not committed to educational purposes, these activities present themselves as significant alternatives for the initial training of teachers in this area.
