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

Abstract

Abstract: The primary objective of this research is to present a detailed account of the didactic principles applied during the pre-professional practicums of the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, specifically by examining lesson planning and associated didactic resources. This study addresses the critical need to analyze the disconnect between theoretical knowledge and actual classroom pedagogical practice. It employs a qualitative approach based on a descriptive phenomenological method, utilizing techniques such as document analysis specifically semantic networks, critical analysis by the researcher, and coded tables. The purposive sample consisted of micro-curricular lesson plans for Mathematics developed by students in the "Practicum 2" course; these plans integrate both basic and formal curricular elements while also revealing opportunities for improvement regarding methodological descriptions and assessment criteria. In conclusion, the study finds that systematic, reflective guidance from instructors during pre-professional practicums is essential to highlight the practical utility of these planning documents and to foster teaching competencies within real-world educational settings.
