La planificación de la práctica preprofesional y sus principios pedagógicos en la carrera de Educación Básica

Abstract

Abstract: This research addresses the need to strengthen the didactic foundation in the planning of pre-professional internships for Basic Education students, given the importance of ensuring planning that aligns with the guidelines of the 2016 National Curriculum. The objective was to describe the didactic foundations present in these plans by analyzing their curricular, methodological, and evaluative components. A qualitative study was conducted using the descriptive phenomenological method and content analysis as the interpretation technique. The sample consisted of micro-curricular plans prepared by "Practicum 2" students at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja; these were analyzed using a document review guide and semantic networks created with ATLAS.ti. The results demonstrated appropriate alignment among learning objectives, performance criteria, methodological strategies, didactic resources, and assessment processes, all grounded in constructivist, sociocultural, and competency-based approaches. The study concludes that a solid didactic foundation strengthens micro-curricular planning and fosters the development of pre-professional internships that are coherent, contextualized, and oriented toward meaningful learning.
