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

Abstract

Abstract: This Curricular Integration Project aimed to describe the didactic foundations of the pre-professional practicum carried out by students of the Basic Education program at Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, through the review of micro-curricular planning and its didactic resources. The study followed a qualitative approach based on the descriptive phenomenological method, within the framework of Practicum 2, conducted at "20 de Diciembre" Basic Education School, Sozoranga canton. The sample, defined through purposive sampling, consisted of one micro-curricular lesson plan; data were collected by means of a documentary review guide and processed through content analysis, including coding, categorization, and the construction of semantic networks using ATLAS.ti. The findings show the prevalence of a constructivist approach, organized around the learning cycle and active methodological strategies; the combined use of traditional and experimental resources; and a formative assessment approach supported by direct observation. It is concluded that the articulation of strategies, resources, and assessment promotes the development of scientific, cognitive, and social skills, strengthening the performance of future teachers in real teaching settings.
