Abstract

The objective of this research was to compare the perceptions of the Supervising Teacher (PS) and his Trainee about the whole period of the Supervised Curricular Internship (ECS) in the school. The research used the qualitative method, through a case study, in the perspective of a descriptive analytical model. The participants were a Physical Education Supervisor Teacher from the basic education network and a Physical Education intern, duly enrolled in the ECS activity. The instruments used were Field Notes, Semi-structured Interviews and a Final Report Document of the intern, submitted to the Content Analysis technique. The results of this analysis revealed that the perception of both participants about the same internship period was quite different. This study considers it necessary that the participants in this important stage of initial formation work in partnership and are aware of the roles they play and their responsibilities.
