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

Abstract

Abstract: This research aimed to describe the didactic foundations present in a microcurricular plan developed within the framework of pre-professional practices in the Basic Education program at Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja. The study followed a qualitative approach, with a documentary design and content analysis. A microcurricular plan corresponding to Practicum II was reviewed, considering its curricular components, methodological strategies, teaching resources, and assessment processes. The information was organized through analytical matrices and semantic networks, with the support of ATLAS.ti software. The findings revealed the presence of constructivist principles, strategies oriented toward active learning, and a general relationship among the curricular elements of the plan. However, areas for improvement were also identified, particularly regarding the diversification of assessment strategies, attention to students individual differences, and the need to strengthen coherence among objectives, skills, resources, and assessment. It is concluded that didactic foundations constitute an important axis for guiding the planning of pre-professional practice, provided that they are clearly articulated with the current National Curriculum and the needs of the educational context.
