Principios pedagógicos que sustentan el desarrollo de la práctica profesional en la Educación Básica

Abstract

Abstract: This study addresses the pedagogical principles that support pre-professional practice in the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL). The pre-professional practice is crucial in the training of future teachers, because it allows them to apply the knowledge acquired in real teaching situations. Micro curricular planning is essential, as it defines how students organize their teaching and apply pedagogical principles in the classroom. The objective of the research was to identify the pedagogical principles that guide the planning of the students' pre-professional practice. As specific objectives: to explore the theoretical foundations of micro-curricular planning, to identify the key elements of such planning and to determine the pedagogical principles applied. The research, quantitative approach, included the analysis of student planning and interviews with tutor teachers. The results highlighted principles such as constructivism, the student-centered approach and formative assessment. It is concluded that, although active learning is promoted, it is necessary to improve the integration of some pedagogical principles. This study is relevant to improve teacher training and educational quality.
