Using the coherent states representation and the Schwinger boson model, the propagator of a spinning particle in interaction with an arbitrary magnetic field is derived in the framework of the path integral formalism. To show the relevance of the formalism to some applications, the Green function of spinning particle s=1/2 in special configuration of magnetic field is calculated. The transition amplitude and Berry’s phase for an arbitrary spin and time dependent magnetic field are deduced. The case of half integer spin is also considered.
