MILAN, Fabrício João et al. Experiences of student-trainers in Physical Education: A biographical perspective of learning. []. , 35, 2, pp.228-245. 23--2020. ISSN 0871-9187. https://doi.org/10.21814/rpe.18764.
The objective of this article is to analyse the biographies of student-trainers enrolled in the Supervised Internship (SI) discipline in Sports Coaches of a course in Physical Education. In order to reach this goal, our methodological option was to conduct semi-structured interviews with nine student-coaches of the Physical Education course at a public higher education institution, based on the theory of lifelong learning by Peter Jarvis (2009b). The results indicated the need to consider the different life experiences of student-coaches during SI. By understanding the students' personal and sporting trajectory, SI can be structured in a way that respects the expectations of each student, stimulating their active participation during this important formative moment.
