Work practice, a way to reaffirm professionalism in students of pedagogical careers

Abstract

One of the priorities of the professional training process is to respond to the demands revealed in the periodic surveys applied to students, which show that the desired results have not yet been achieved. With the aim of proposing methodological actions that from the work practice contribute to the pedagogical professional reaffirmation and improve the preparation of the future teacher for their professional performance. A descriptive study with a qualitative approach was developed, based on the following methods: structural systemic, modeling, analytical-synthetic, participant observation and expert consultation; as well as in the in-depth interview technique. The system of proposed methodological actions allow: the systematization of the activities designed and oriented through the guide of the labor practice; the implementation of a greater number of vocational training and professional orientation activities by the different specialties that make up the career curriculum; better critical attitude on the part of teachers about the activities developed by students in the context of investigative job training; better planning, orientation and evaluation of work practice activities, better results in research work training and the professional reaffirmation of students.
