Contribución de los fundamentos didácticos en las prácticas preprofesionales de la carrera de Educación Básica

Abstract

Abstract: This research examines the contribution of didactic foundations in the pre-professional practices carried out by students of the Basic Education degree at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. The general objective of this study is to describe the didactic foundations present in these pre-professional practices, using as a sample a specific didactic plan for the subject of Mathematics developed in Practicum 2. The study is framed within a qualitative approach and employs the descriptive phenomenological method, which allows for an in-depth exploration of how didactic principles are articulated in lesson planning. The application of pedagogical approaches, the diversity of physical resources, and the implementation of methodological strategies aimed at meaningful learning were observed. Likewise, a clear evaluation proposal aligned with the didactic activities was identified. In summary, didactic foundations represent a key factor in the comprehensive training of future teachers, as they foster the integration of pedagogical and didactic approaches, curricular elements, the varied use of teaching resources, the application of effective methodological strategies, and the implementation of assessment aimed at meaningful learning.
