Principios pedagógicos que sustentan la práctica profesional en Educación Básica

Abstract

Abstract: The present research, titled Pedagogical Principles Supporting Professional Practice in Basic Education, aimed to verify the underlying principles in the planning of the professional practice of students from the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. The study was conducted in the city of Loja, where 10 micro-curricular plans corresponding to the areas of the 2016 National Curriculum, developed by students during their pre-professional practices, were analyzed. The method adopted a deductive approach and a quantitative, descriptive methodological route. The instruments used were Document Observation Guide No. 1, constructed with a Likert-type scale, which includes 10 evaluation criteria, and Document Observation Guide No. 2, also using a Likert-type scale, which includes 12 evaluation criteria. The study reveals that the pedagogical principles in the plans align with active learning approaches, critical reflection, and the contextualized application of knowledge. The designed activities favor the direct connection of the student and promote experiential learning.
