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

Abstract

Abstract: The study focuses on the pedagogical principles that guide teaching practice in basic education. Its general objective is to analyze how these principles support the planning of pre-professional practice developed by students of the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, taking into account the design elements established in the curriculum. To achieve this, ten lesson plans from different areas of the 2016 National Curriculum were reviewed. The research adopts a positivist perspective, with a deductive approach and a quantitative descriptive methodological design. Two documentary observation guides based on a Likert scale were used to evaluate methodological elements and principles. The study was conducted through a descriptive report supported by tables and graphs. The results show that the planning strategies applied widely incorporate methodological principles, demonstrating strengths in formulating objectives, although weaknesses were also identified in the use of pedagogical methods and performance assessment. It is concluded that the pedagogical training of future teachers needs to be strengthened through programs that promote better application of pedagogical principles in planning, aiming to improve the quality of the teaching-learning process.
