La planificación de la práctica preprofesional y sus principios pedagógicos en la carrera de Educación Básica

Abstract

Abstract: Pre-professional internships constitute an essential component in the initial training of future teachers, as they integrate theory and practice within the educational sphere. This research describes the didactic foundations of the internships undertaken by Basic Education students at the Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja, through an analysis of micro-curricular planning and didactic resources. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing a descriptive phenomenological method. Data collection involved a document review guided by an analysis framework followed by a content analysis conducted using the software ATLAS.ti. While elements of meaningful learning and constructivism were identified, issues were observed regarding the alignment between performance-based skills, objectives, and assessment indicators. The study concludes that micro-curricular planning fosters the development of professional competencies and pedagogical reflection, thereby serving as a fundamental element for enhancing both the initial training of teachers and their pre-professional internships.
