Abstract

Abstract: This research focuses on verifying the pedagogical principles that underpin the planning of professional practices in Basic Education, developed by students of the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. It adopts a positivist philosophy, which follows a deductive approach and a quantitative, descriptive methodological route, ensuring a quality education that is not limited to merely transmitting knowledge but also encompasses the development of students' competencies and skills. It promotes playful activities, the activation of prior knowledge, and experiential, cognitive, analytical, and reflective learning, enabling students to take ownership of their knowledge and become protagonists of their own learning. This research holds significant importance for the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL), both for teachers and students, as it provides relevant information on the application of pedagogical principles and their effectiveness in ensuring quality teaching and meaningful learning. It contributes to the training of professionals who provide inclusive and comprehensive education, significantly improving the educational system.
