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

Abstract

Abstract: This work arises from constant observation during my pre-professional internships in the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. Throughout this experience, I identified a disconnection between the didactic foundations taught at the university and their application in lesson planning. Therefore, the objective of this research was to analyze how these foundations are reflected in the lesson plans created by students, based on documents produced during Practicum 2. A qualitative approach was used, employing a descriptive and phenomenological method based on document analysis. The population consisted of Basic Education students, and a purposive sample was selected from lesson plans in five different areas of the national curriculum. This allowed for a broad view of how theoretical knowledge is applied in various disciplinary contexts. The main findings revealed that although students use active methodological strategies, many lack a solid theoretical foundation. In addition, inconsistencies were found between objectives, content, and assessment methods. As a result, despite a clear pedagogical intention, there are still weaknesses in integrating all components coherently.
