Principios pedagógicos que sustentan la práctica profesional en educación básica

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this research was to verify the pedagogical principles that support the professional practice plans developed by students of the Basic Education degree at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL). To meet this objective, a thorough analysis of the plans was carried out from two points of view: on the one hand, the main elements that a plan should have, and on the other hand, the pedagogical principles present in them. The methodology used in this research was the positivist philosophy, with which a deductive analysis and a quantitative methodological route of a descriptive type were achieved, in order to verify points such as objectives, evaluation criteria, skills, methodological strategies and resources. The research concludes that 100% of the plans have the fundamental elements, and as for the pedagogical principles, it is concluded that the plans propose activities in accordance with the class objectives. Even so, although 100% of the plans integrate the fundamental elements very well, only 40% of them have concordance between the contents and the emotional connections of the students. Among the strengths of the plans is their alignment with the standards of the Ministry of Education and their contribution to structured learning. However, it is recommended to improve in areas related to reflection, emotional management and creativity in methodological strategies.
