Abstract

The present investigation was proposed with the objective of analyzing the perspective that the students of the Basic General Education career of the University of Cuenca have on preprofessional practices and contrast them with the program's approaches to this subject. The study was developed under the quantitative method in the bibliographic and observational modality of descriptive type based on field research. A sample of 57 students enrolled in the eighth cycle of the Basic General Education course, course Seminar II: Systematization of Preprofessional Experiences at the University of Cuenca, was selected as a questionnaire used by Illanes (2007) to assess the perspective and performance of undergraduate students of Physical Education for Basic Education in relation to their professional practice, which was analyzed and reviewed to obtain the questions that most related to the research topic. According to the results obtained, students maintain a low perspective in terms of personal, classroom and institutional dimensions. However, they considered the university training received as good, in that it has allowed them to develop skills, abilities, skills, resources and tools according to the requirements of the practices, with which to face each situation that is presented in the classroom of lessons. When contrasting these results with the contents for the Preprofessional Practices Seminars I and II: a gap was perceived between theory and practice, which leaves room for the improvement of this formative educational process related to the development of preprofessional practice.
