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

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to describe the contribution of didactic principles to the professional practicum within the Basic Education program at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja (UTPL). The study adopted a qualitative, descriptive approach and utilized a case study design, employing matrices to analyze micro-curricular planning and evaluating semantic networks via ATLAS.ti software. Key findings revealed that the trainee teacher possesses solid technical knowledge grounded in the application of socio-constructivist and cognitivist approaches, implemented through the ERCA learning cycle and appropriate formal assessments. However, regarding language and literature skills, it remains unclear whether she failed to identify students with Special Educational Needs, given the absence of specialized curricular modifications.
