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

Abstract

Abstract: This Curricular Integration Project aims to describe the didactic foundations of the pre-professional practices carried out by students in the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, through the review of lesson planning and teaching resources. The research arises from the need to strengthen the connection between didactic principles and teaching practice during initial teacher training, promoting more solid professional preparation that aligns with current educational demands. The study was conducted from a qualitative approach, supported by the descriptive phenomenological method, using document analysis as a research technique. The population consisted of students in the Basic Education program, and the sample was made up of a microcurricular plan selected through purposive sampling. The results showed the presence of pedagogical approaches, methodological strategies, teaching resources, and evaluation processes that support the connection between theory and practice. It is concluded that didactic foundations are an essential element for strengthening reflective, contextualized, and relevant teacher training, aimed at the continuous improvement of overall educational quality.
