Formación Profesional de los Estudiantes de la Carrera de Pedagogía de la Química: Modelo Conceptual-Metodológico con Fundamentos Didácticos

Abstract

Due to the need to use teaching strategies that allow the student to use learning to face the problems they cope with in daily life, the objective was proposed to design a model for a teaching unit with a theoretical justification of the elements to be introduced, their contextualization, the objectives, the contents, the methodology, activities to be developed in the classroom and finally the evaluation criteria were established, based on the didactic principles. The project will be applied to first-year students of the bachelor’s degree in Pedagogy of Chemistry, at the “Luis Vargas Torres” Technical University, in Esmeraldas, Ecuador. The results seek to contribute to the training of new teachers focused on ensuring that our students learn in depth the science they teach, that they have a conceptual and methodological mastery, that they master the didactic and pedagogical foundations for teaching the subject, apply the relationship theory-practice in the teaching exercise, are motivated by the investigation of classroom problems and are creative in conducting the process and in the application of the evaluation process. It is concluded that the teaching of Chemistry cannot be reduced to dictating concepts and theories, to a process of abstract memorization. A greater dynamization of classes is required, where students see the practical application of all those concepts and theories studied in classes in their daily lives.
