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

Abstract

Abstract: This paper addressed the issue of didactic foundations in the context of students' realities, which are not reflected in the planning process. The overall objective of this research was to describe the didactic foundations that contribute to the pre-professional practices developed by students in the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. A qualitative approach was used to understand the characteristics and qualities of the object of study, complemented by a descriptive phenomenological method to understand students' experiences when developing the planning process. Document analysis was used as a research technique. A purposive sample of 20 plans developed by students participating in the internship was considered. The information was analyzed through key dimensions, highlighting the didactic foundation, planning, methodological strategies, teaching resources, and evaluation. The results showed a planning process consistent with the current curriculum, prioritizing meaningful learning, active participation, and respect for individual rhythms. Improvements are recommended in terms of methodological innovation, systematic integration of digital resources, and the strengthening of inclusive evaluation practices.
