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

Abstract

Abstract: This research analyzes the main didactic foundations presented in the preprofessional practice of the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTLP). The objective is to describe the pre-professional practices developed by students by reviewing the planning and its teaching resources, strengthening pedagogical competencies in the classroom. The study focuses on a qualitative approach, using the descriptive phenomenological method, which is ideal for analyzing the processes, experiences, and meanings that the subjects of study attribute to their reality. This facilitates a deep understanding of the phenomena linked to planning. The sample is comprised of the curricular planning carried out in practicum 2, corresponding to the area of the 2016 National Curriculum for the subject of Natural Sciences. The results show that the didactic foundation allows for more consistent, contextualized, and important planning that strengthens professional competence in teacher training. The research concludes that integrating didactic foundations into the planning and implementation of pre-professional practices enriches the training process and enhances pedagogical performance in real-life learning contexts.
