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

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the pedagogical principles underpinning the pre-professional practicum planning developed by students in the Basic Education program at the Private Technical University of Loja. The research was conducted under the positivist paradigm, employing a deductive method and a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional methodological approach. Data was collected using documentary observation, with a structured documentary observation guide as the instrument. Ten micro-curricular plans from the areas of Social Sciences and Language and Literature were selected. These plans had been developed by students during their pre-professional practicums and were chosen through non-probability, non-purposive sampling, specifically convenience sampling. The results indicate that while there is good curriculum management regarding evaluation criteria, improvements are needed in certain aspects, such as the correct alignment of objectives, lack of resources, and evaluation techniques, among others. In conclusion, it is important to highlight the need for teachers to strengthen their lesson planning, applying all pedagogical principles to ensure relevant and coherent learning within the context of basic education.
