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

Abstract

Abstract: The study was conducted at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja with the objective of analyzing the pedagogical principles that underpin the planning of the pre-professional practice developed by students in the Basic Education program. A descriptive quantitative approach was adopted, as the aim was to describe the variables involved and examine their relationships at a specific point in time, which is consistent with the foundations of the positivist paradigm. The methodological design made it possible to precisely define the participant sample, select data collection instruments, and organize a systematic process for the statistical analysis of the information, ensuring criteria of validity and reliability through formal procedures that guaranteed the consistency of the results. The findings enabled the identification of the pedagogical principles and the most relevant structural elements present in the students micro-curricular planning. In conclusion, the study showed that pedagogical principles are integrated into the planning of pre-professional practice, albeit with varying levels of application. This study serves as an input to strengthen the quality of training for future teachers.
