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

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the incorporation of didactic foundations into a microcurricular plan developed by a Basic Education student during the pre-professional internship for Practicum 2 at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. The research arose from the need to strengthen the coherence between pedagogical theory and its application in real-life classroom settings. A qualitative approach with a content analysis method was subsequently used, employing category matrices applied to the selected plan. The results show a partial adoption of constructivist and socioconstructivist approaches, with advances in active, student-centered methodologies. However, weaknesses are also evident in the sequencing of content, the use of ICTs, methodological strategies, and evaluative feedback. Therefore, through content analysis, supported by ATLAS.ti software, the need to strengthen the explicit theoretical foundation and promote critical and reflective planning was identified. Finally, this research contributes to strengthening initial teacher training by promoting more contextualized, coherent, and transformative planning, in line with the current national curriculum.
