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 underlying the planning of pre-professional internships within the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, through an analysis of a micro-curricular plan developed during Prácticum II*. The study employed a qualitative approach, using document analysis as the research technique and a category matrix to examine didactic foundations, micro-curricular planning, methodological strategies, instructional resources, and assessment. Data were organized, coded, and interpreted using ATLAS.ti software, enabling the establishment of relationships between categories via semantic networks. The results demonstrated that the analyzed plan exhibits proper alignment among its didactic components; however, areas for improvement were also identified, particularly regarding the explicit detailing of assessment instruments. The study contributes to a reflection on the importance of integrating didactic foundations into planning to foster more coherent and contextualized teaching practice.
