Mentoring of pre-professional practices in initial teacher training. UNAE- Ecuador

Abstract

Within the framework of the initial training of the Ecuadorian teacher, the pedagogical experiences acquired by the authors as teachers of the Basic Education (EB) career of the National University of Education (UNAE), represents the starting point for the analysis of the process of tutorials in the field of preprofessional praxis training in various study cycles; in accordance with the Pedagogical and Practical Model of the UNAE. For the analysis, the contributions of Schön (1987) regarding the training of reflective professionals are mainly assumed, by means of the teaching support for the development of professional competences propitiated through the axes established for pre-professional practices such as: supporting, accompanying and experimenting. As a result, the determining character of the tutoring is confirmed based on the quality of the research teacher training process, as it is a scenario that encourages the linking of reflection-action- transformation processes in real socio-educational scenarios.
