La pareja pedagógica practicante: modalidad de formación docente en la Universidad Nacional de Educación

Abstract

This paper proposes functions of the practicing pedagogical partner for each training unit at National University of Education (UNAE), considering the curricular and pedagogical components of Pre-Professional Practice Model (2017) of the university, together with the Pedagogical Model of UNAE (2017), linked to early research. For the study, the categories: pedagogical partner, teacher training, pre-professional practice, among others, were theoretically revised. The concept of a practicing pedagogical partner was assumed based on the study of different authors’ opinions and on experience in pre-professional practice. It is understood as a practicing pedagogical partner two or more students who perform a work cooperatively and reflectively, by training, following and sharing common responsibility before, during and after pre-professional practice. Research methods such as observation, documentary analysis, interviews and surveys were used as well as instruments such as field diary, observation guides, interview guides and questionnaires. The observation, in its modality of participant observation, allowed to register information in the field diaries, useful for the diagnosis of this work, in which students, teachers and managers of both UNAE and the institutions where the pre-professional practice takes place participated. From the diagnosis, the research problem was reached: what will be the functions of the practicing pedagogical couples in each of the training units for Basic Education major? As a result, the functions of practicing pedagogical partner are proposed: communicative, organizational, executive, investigative and evaluative ones.
