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

Abstract

Abstract: The research topic is entitled The teaching and learning process of catechists in the transmission of knowledge. This research was conducted in the parish of Tumbaco, Quito, Pichincha, Ecuador. The general objective was to evaluate the didactics used by catechists to analyze their impact on the learning and on the spiritual formation of the catechized. The sample consisted of 58 catechists. A mixed approach was used with quantitative and qualitative methods, with the survey being the main technique. The online questionnaire was adapted from the CEMEDEPU report which was designed by Gargallo et al (2010) and it was applied to the teaching staff of the University of Valencia (Spain). It was designed using Google Forms which allowed the collection of data for the analysis. The results showed that the didactic methodologies that were used have a positive impact on the formation of the catechized, promoting meaningful learning. However, areas for improvement were identified, such as continuous pedagogical training in the ongoing formation of catechists and the integration of more dynamic, innovative and active methodologies. The research concludes that it is necessary to strengthen catechetical training programs with innovative approaches that respond to current needs.
