Caracterización de las competencias profesionales del educadora infantil ecuatoriano

Abstract

Abstract: Teaching practice involves the application of several competencies and within early childhood education some more specific ones can be highlighted that are necessary in their context. In the present work, the competencies of the Ecuadorian early childhood educator are characterized and their degree of application is measured. After analyzing scientific sources on the skills required of professional teachers, a survey was conducted among 10 teachers who work in two educational units in the provinces of Zamora Chinchipe and Azuay. The survey asked about the frequency of application of 8 professional competencies in the classroom, ranging from Never to Very Frequently, where mediation and conflict resolution and socioemotional skills stood out. With the results obtained, the analysis is carried out, identifying the competencies and their level of application. Focusing on the most positive aspects collected by the instrument, a proposal is offered to the General Rumiñahui institution in the province of Zamora Chinchipe to continue strengthening socioemotional competencies.
