Principios pedagógicos que sustentan la planificación de la práctica preprofesional en Educación Básica

Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this research was to analyze the pedagogical principles that underpin the planning of pre-professional practice carried out by students in the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. To this end, a quantitative methodology was chosen, with a descriptive and cross-sectional design that facilitated a better understanding of the subject in question. The population consisted of 10 micro-curricular plans, selected for convenience using non-probabilistic sampling, to which two documentary observation guides were applied: the first contained 14 evaluation criteria and the second 12. The results indicate that the pedagogical principles and elements of the plans are deficient in their application, hindering the achievement of educational objectives. This research provides a more accurate view of the design and execution of planning carried out during pre-professional practice and offers a detailed understanding of the areas that require improvement to ensure educational quality and adequate initial teacher training. In addition, this study enables the interpretation of the results and can be used as a basis for future research.
