El proceso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de los catequistas en la transmisión de los conocimientos

Abstract

Abstract: This research, entitled "The Teaching and Learning Process of Catechists in the Transmission of Faith Knowledge," aims to evaluate the teaching and learning process used by catechists to identify its impact on the spiritual formation of catechumens. In a parish in the canton of Ibarra, using a mixed-method research approach and a descriptive non-experimental design, the sample for this research was 40 catechists. This research was conducted through an online survey and instrumented by an online Likert-scale questionnaire. This questionnaire was adapted from the CEMEDEPU report designed by Gargallo, B., Suárez, J., Garfella, P., and Fernández A. (2010). The results showed that catechetical didactics enhances learning and spiritual formation through structured planning, effective communication, and active methodologies. However, the limited integration of alternative teaching technologies and strategies reduces its impact. Therefore, catechesis requires ongoing training and innovation to adapt to current contexts, enrich education, and promote a living commitment to the faith through inclusive and participatory approaches among those being catechized.
