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

Abstract

Abstract: The general objective of this curricular integratión project is to describe the didactic foundations of the pre-professional internships undertaken by Basic Education students, through a review of lesson planning and associated didactic resources. The study examined micro-curricular plans created by students in the Practicum 2 course of the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, employing content analysis and semantic networks. A qualitative approach using a descriptive-phenomenological method was adopted, utilizing a purposive sample that analyzed a micro-curricular plan for the Natural Sciences subject area. The study revealed a plan aligned with the elements of the 2016 National Curriculum and partially aligned with constructivist and socio-constructivist approaches as well as the ERCA model; however, weaknesses were identified regarding application activities, feedback, and the graduate profile weaknesses that directly impact meaningful learning. It is concluded tha while student teachers successfully integrate the elements of micro-curricular planning, they require further training in other areas prior to entering the classroom; such training is crucial for strengthening teaching competencies.
