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

Abstract

Abstract: The purpose of this research was to describe the didactic foundations underlying the pre-professional practices carried out by Basic Education students at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, through an analysis of the micro-curricular planning developed during *Prácticum 2. The study employed a qualitative approach, utilizing the descriptive-phenomenological method and document analysis. Data were collected using a document review guide and analyzed through coding processes and semantic networks with the aid of ATLAS.ti software. The results demonstrated that the planning is grounded in didactic principles primarily guided by the constructivist approach and shows appropriate alignment among micro-curricular planning components, consistent with the guidelines of the National Curriculum for General Basic Education. Furthermore, the study identified a predominance of active methodological strategies, the use of didactic resources, and an assessment process with a formative focus. It is concluded that the planning documents reflect a sound grasp of didactic foundations, although opportunities remain to strengthen the integration of technological resources, innovative strategies, and diversified assessment procedures.
