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

Abstract

Abstract: This research aimed to describe the didactic foundations present in a microcurricular plan developed within the framework of the pre-professional practicum for the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. The study was conducted using a qualitative approach, with a documentary design and content analysis. To this end, a plan corresponding to Practicum II was reviewed using analysis matrices organized into dimensions, categories, subcategories, and indicators, complemented by semantic networks created with the support of ATLAS.ti software. The results identified the presence of didactic foundations related to active pedagogical approaches, methodological strategies, teaching resources, and learning-oriented assessment processes. However, areas for improvement were also identified in the curricular coherence between the objective, the performance-based skill, the strategies, the resources, and the assessment. It is concluded that microcurricular planning constitutes an essential component in teacher training, provided it is clearly aligned with the current National Curriculum and the needs of the educational context.
