INTRODUCTION
Teaching practices are the actions of the educational process, that is, teaching
practice is influenced by multiple factors: from the teacher's own academic
training to the singularities of the entity in which he/she works, including the
need to respect a compulsory program that is regulated by the government
and the diverse responses and reactions of his/her students.
For the development of the theoretical level in the design of education in
training, it is necessary to carry out the teaching practices focusing on the
problems from the theoretical training, normally or the regular curriculum;
the teaching practices are carried out at the end of the processes and it is
wrong because the practice always helps you to improve the theory, it is better
the articulation from the beginning of the career.
In this way, reality is more complex and even competitive as a meshing of
practice and theory, this must be a reflexive habit since it is necessary to act
and exemplify the competences, for that it is important the relation of the
teaching practices in the initial training that affect the noble teachers. From
the institution it is necessary to establish training links, the devices of the
processes are necessary to identify them as: the reflection, the narrative from
the objectification then that we must socialize this reflection to a writing of
the vivencia through the practice diary, autobiographical writings and the
interviews of clarification in addition to the rubrics and the observation
feedback, case studies with memorable teachers and videoconferences in this
sharing to intervene in the noblest habits of teaching, framing the practice,
although the current reality is based on specific and general training from the
traditional model where at the end it is given with a conclusive project even
to make the thesis, through the formative model.
Therefore practices should be the articulating axis, that is, from the career
where all spaces must be committed, based on it is reported and exemplified

the development of cases for the function of professional practice, for these
alternative models it would be essential to work with the practice from the
early years working in an integrated manner, you must have contact with
outstanding teachers, experience in situ , in addition with project-based
learning, with the school biography or with the life project. In this regard,
Alharbi, Athauda, & Chiong (2018) noted that project-based learning is a
pedagogical approach that many higher education programs have
incorporated, with students working in teams or groups on a specific project
over an extended period of time facilitated by an instructor. Likewise,
Blumenfeld, et al (1991) noted that project-based learning has unique
characteristics, such as involving students in solving complex problems or
real-world issues to sustain the learning processes. Likewise, Lou &
MacGregor (2010) indicated that it is one of the most important elements in
the implementation of project-based learning allowing the facilitation of
group work structures.
From the previous evidences, the articulation of contents through professional
practices would respond to the student's needs to know from the teaching
experience the didactic proposals that are necessary in the development of the
practitioners of an integral formation. The integrating axis of didactics and
the curriculum must be standardized in a systematic and collective way
because the curricular has become more technocratic than the experiences of
didactics. Based on this, project-based learning presents a didactic approach
where students work collaboratively with the design of projects with the
possibility of exercising an interdisciplinary range of skills. In this regard,
Biasutti & El-Deghaidy (2014) pointed out that, for cooperative learning
methodologies include advantages over traditional teaching approaches such
as promotion and development that determine the following:
• Active participation of students in the learning process;
Article
Pedagogical device: training of teaching practices in university education.
86
• Independent learning and teamwork;
• The integration of knowledge and skills in several areas;
• Student autonomy and awareness;
• Critical thinking processes;
• A positive attitude towards the subject of study;
• Student satisfaction.
It is for this reason that a reflective teacher must have some doors or
safeguards that are the parts of a whole in an interdisciplinary way, that is to
say, that knows how to work the development of the chairs from the
theoretical and practical training from a cosmogonic look, that is why it is
important to have teachers in these teams as sociologists, curricularists,
pedagogues, philosophers to have a systemic idea that converges in the
professional development of the student in the formative process.
In this sense, the reengineering of curricula in the design of training is much
richer with the budgets of our countries, because living with foreign
educational books takes away the identity of the social construct from the
budget. However, it is necessary to readings of experts in the subject to help
theorize the evolutionary development. In this regard, a study of teacher
professional development through curriculum development as a teacher's
experience in the field of online materials testing, research by Fisher (2011)
pointed out that from the teacher's reflection on the use and impact of
materials in associated technologies, these are a success that are defined as
good experiences in the classroom from the teacher's judgment. For that
reason, the implementation of learning materials associated with the
development and proliferation of online Curriculum design opens an
opportunity to replicate some of the unforeseen but significant impacts on
teachers' professional development. However, curriculum design provides the
Article
Pedagogical device: training of teaching practices in university education.
87
conditions in which teachers could reflexively generate knowledge, such as
about the use of computers in their own particular environments.
Regarding classroom projects, a study on scientific activities through
classroom projects and curricular ideas conducted by Demchik (2010)
pointed out that the curriculum design should incorporate the acid rain
method which presents six learning experiences such as: an introduction to
the topic through educational media; investigations and presentations in class;
laboratory activities; simulations; design; and implementation of a design. For
that reason, once applied, students are divided into groups of three and
directed to a variety of sources, such as library references and internet
resources, so that they can conduct research. From these learning experiences,
students acquire the ability to research, select appropriate information and
apply it to particular concepts, i.e., by doing the acid rain activities, students
learn in a practical way that there is a relationship between what they learn in
science classes and what happens in the real world.
Therefore, Gómez & Peñaloza (2014) indicated that practice is necessary and
from it to visualize the causes and effects of teaching practices, which are
structural changes where they point to Jürgen Habermas as a German
philosopher and sociologist known for his work in political philosophy, ethics
and theory of law, as well as in philosophy of language, indicating that a
conflict of antagonistic values is constitutive but it is not necessary to deny it
but to work on it, There has been a neglect in the micro pedagogical to
understand from the social aspect, politics and didactics where a change to
positivism is founded, where first is the theory and then the practice, although
education is phenomenological, changing and transforming in the classroom.
Based on the above, a study determining advice in relation to educational
theory about teaching practices conducted by Dennick (2012) pointed out
that, if learning is built on existing knowledge, then an effective teacher must

88
be aware of his or her students' prior knowledge. Furthermore, in the
acquisition of new knowledge can only be mediated by existing knowledge,
i.e., that teachers present and explain new concepts using the knowledge that
students already possess using analogies and metaphors to help build
scaffolds and bridges to new understanding. Based on the above, the
researcher gives the following twelve practical recommendations: 1)
Determine and activate prior knowledge; 2) Build on existing knowledge and
challenge misconceptions; 3) Facilitate social construction of meaning
through group work; 4) Use active learning techniques; 5) Encourage students
to think about how they learn and give students responsibility for their
learning; 6) Make sure students get the experiences they need; 7) Reflection
is aided by log books, folders and feedback; 8) Develop mental models,
practical skills and attitudes; 9) Allow learners to participate in hypothesis
testing and action planning; 10) Respect learners and recognize who they are
and where they come from; 11) Ensure physical, psychological and emotional
needs; 12) Teaching and learning is a relationship.
Consequently, it is better to make decisions from the teaching practice where
the philosophy of Jürgen Habermas indicates, it focuses the problematic and
activation to build new knowledge, that is, it must be reflective to
problematize the causes and consequences of their teaching practice and then
theorize to understand when and with what technique I am being
constructivist, especially when it allows decision making in construction of
the practice-theoretic in a spiral way.
The Carabante study (2021) study indicates that the reference is in:
The rationality manifested in communication has a discursive character
because the success of communicative acts rests on the possibility of an
argued defense of validity claims. We can therefore define discourses
as processes in which speakers manage to provide a reasoned basis for

Pedagogical device: training of teaching practices in university education.
89
their communicative proposals and the validity claims that underlie
them. The discourse ends successfully when these claims are
"performed" or defended, and eventually accepted by the receiver.
Consensus or agreement constitutes the optimal end of any discourse.
(p. 3)
With respect to the theoretical construction from the educational practice is
necessary within the reflection - action or action - reflection from that tacit
knowledge, because this appropriation of knowledge to situations of practice
helps us to resignify the "learning to do"; because that commoditization
(private system differentiated with the Ecuadorian public sector taking away
the leadership in areas such as Academia, Research and Technology) of
education that is better to continue as we are sometimes in the same place
without effort, has an impact on the learning of the learner; but the classroom
climate is the best thermometer to know that we are ruining the class without
that empowerment, it is there as it is given from "reflection in action" because
now I realize that I am modifying my teaching practice in the classroom, to
make it more dynamic and truthful with the practice.
However, the actions of the practice are motivated with theories with the
professional habitus, as Bourdieu indicates the analysis of the devices as
entrapment from the projection of teaching, which are those gajes of the
profession that are built in the unconscious of the teaching staff, and that it is
difficult to build from the practice of development or that determines the
complexity of the class, without reflection Cruz (2010).
Then, that assimilation and accommodation that Ausubel indicates, allows
understanding the mental assimilation where it consists in the incorporation
of objects within the schemes, schemes that are nothing else but the
framework of actions that man can actively reproduce in reality, in practice it
refers to the process of modifying schemes to accommodate a new change, in

Pedagogical device: training of teaching practices in university education.
90
making oneself understood with the most valuable device that is reflection
and understanding new mental schemes. (Temporetti, 2006) .
From the above evidence, learning practices as educational dialogic reflection
foresees that the need to make a mental schema is when at the same time a
mental reengineering for the design of external conditioning factors, in favor
of new knowledge updates, that is, when a thorough and critical examination
of the "demands of beliefs" sometimes give in the development of practical
knowledges and references of new contexts. In this regard, Simpson (2016)
pointed out that dialogic learning has a positive impact as a pedagogical tool
on the value students perceive of their learning experience. Therefore, by
incorporating social networks into the learning context, the educator
responsible for the design of the unit of study makes use of successful
communicative models of interaction that allow him to ensure that students
come to value other forms of knowledge, through explicit use focused on
practices.
Likewise, the best residency practice that is carried out in class, above all
leaving the technicality is the reflection of the formative process, of the
experience seeking professionalization from the policy and complexity,
however, it will act as a modeling that develops in the integrality preparing
us for the adequacy of the practice, because it is from the reflective practice
that we will return to the ethics and innovation of employability. In this
aspect, the authors Prieto, Magnuson, Dillenbourg, & Saar (2020) pointed
out that reflective practice is an important approach to teacher professional
development, defining it as the professional growth that a teacher achieves as
a result of acquiring greater experience and examining his or her teaching
systematically.
In summary, the answers of the theory-practice in the training processes, have
had incidence in the teaching devices in the work of pedagogical couples and

a collaborative work, that the "professional habitus" (process through which
the professional performance is internalized in an unconscious way in the
individuals at the level of knowledge and professional practices), as it is
handled in the book "The distinction", which indicates that "they are the
structures structured in the structures, which are handled as non-transferable
dissipations over time", in the case of teaching practices it is a manifesto that
is unconscious as a teaching nature where the cultural baggage of the learner
from the development of their university beginnings to their sustenance of
social reproduction and which is highly guided by the teachers Bourdieu &
Passeron (1996).
Teaching: object of study of professional teaching knowledge.
Due to this, in general terms, training and regulation by the State is required
to develop public training policies in a standard manner throughout the
country, and teachers must have a high degree of ingenuity and creativity to
carry out their teaching duties, that is, they must have a high social and
individual commitment to the educational center, with teaching as their
central function.
According to the manual of the Undersecretary of Public Policies in 1993 and
analyzed by the Inter-American Development Bank, the following is a
summary of the results of the study (Di Franco, Di Franco, & Siderac, 2016,
p. 7) they indicate that:
The diagnosis was common to the entire region: the deterioration of
quality, low internal performance, low equity in access and
permanence, inadequate allocation of resources, little development of
their own sources of financing and lack of articulation with the
productive sector and between higher education institutions.
Therefore, due to this, the teaching professional is able to manage mismatches
between the prescribed work and the actual work, in professional practices.

92
Within the professional knowledge the educator must place himself in the
decision making of the practices based on singular contextualized situations
of the educational task as it indicates (Pedroza-Melo, 2020) citing the article
by (Naduri, 2012) emphasizes that teaching skills, personality attributes,
tools and techniques in their teaching practice can contribute to the
achievement of effective results in educational institutions. Faced with this
challenge, it is estimated that human capital in the context of education brings
together teaching competencies, teaching-learning skills, knowledge and
pedagogical-didactic experience, values and attitudes of commitment in the
training of their students, in addition to the educator must know the theories
and experiences that bring about meaningful learning. Their studies should be
based on research that develop other researches with the same formative line.
In this same context, the teaching practice as a subjective construction is
added to the necessary inputs to develop the teaching-learning process, from
here the teacher is formed in his mental and psychological structure, this
formative path is composed of school biography, professional socialization,
initial training, professional development, together with traditional theories
and incorporated theories.
"It is observed that this habitus is constructed in the intersubjective
relationships that occur between teachers, in such a way that the beginning
teacher elaborates his pedagogical knowledge in the interaction of his daily
practice." (San Martín & Quilaqueo, 2012, p. 2) .
In this regard, San Martín & Quilaqueo (2012) pointed out that, in the process
of social construction of teaching practice, "the educator can visualize himself
as a craftsman, scientist, technicist, professional or reflective etc. In addition,
he/she has to be a reflective entity that provokes the media confrontation of
the profession versus the practice to generate in the student an integral
formation" (p. 10) .

93
Therefore, this habitus is built by what the student knows, the family, the
psychosocial environment where the teacher, through this previous
knowledge, molds this intelligence in the search for the social management
of knowledge.
How to distribute intelligence: (1) Physically distributed intelligence: notes,
diaries, folders, calculators, computers, etc. (2) Socially distributed
intelligence: group learning with a common group test system, pair problem
solving, Socratic teaching, dramatic activities; (3) Symbolic distributed
intelligence: essays in mathematics and science, diagrams, classification
tables, in literature. Variety of textual forms: stories, essays, lists, concept
maps, graphs, two-dimensional tables. (Perkins, 1997, p. 14) .
Likewise, teacher training is the same classroom practice that is required to
train teachers who contemplate laws, practice, welfare, budgets,
administration and management. Didactics is required to teach.
The characteristics of the pedagogical devices:
It allows the didactic approach to events in their real contexts, highlighting
the place of conflict, contradiction, movement, the act in progress, and
history. It includes the relationship of multiple lines or dimensions that
intertwine: social, institutional, group, interpersonal, individual, technical; at
explicit and implicit levels in imaginary and real registers. (Souto, 1998, p.
118).
However, the evaluation techniques within the context of the student body
must be carried out by the participatory, conscious and organized teacher,
which can be done through the pedagogical pairs that allow the university
student a dialogue between peers.
The proposal to carry out teaching practices, implementing the pedagogical
pair, aims at achieving a critical reflection on classroom practice and on the
process of building professional knowledge. In this sense, the residents

94
recognize that working in a pedagogical pair is a contribution to their own
training, since it enables spaces and instances of reflection. (Sanjurjo L. La
pareja pedagógica como dispositivo de evaluación en la formación docente
universitario, 2016, p. 7).
In synthesis, the most powerful discussions have their derivations, from the
episteme in relation to the Theory it is necessary to know about the trilogy
(student-teacher-family); in the Technique to build and deconstruct from the
development of the pedagogical budgets in higher education (academy,
research and linkage with the community); in the Ethics with the development
of complexity; Social-effective with love and respect to our educational
community.
Didactics is necessary for the development of the teaching-learning process,
based on the recursive need for learning:
Didactics is reborn today on the basis of criticism of the eight assumptions
we have listed. Because we believe that it is always possible to teach better,
that it is necessary to permanently revise curricula; because it is necessary to
select and use teaching strategies well and to create new ways of teaching and
evaluating; because we are committed to ensuring that all students learn and
build all kinds of knowledge that are indispensable in their personal lives, in
their social relations, as citizens and as workers; because in order to seriously
base pedagogical decisions and practices it is necessary to integrate the
contributions of different disciplines as well as to carry out research in the
specific field of teaching; and because reflection must systematically
accompany all tasks related to the action of teaching, we affirm that it is
necessary to have a mature, serious, rigorous and dynamic didactic theory.(De
Camilloni, Cols, Basabe, & Feeney, 2007, p. 16).
Therefore, this perspective, didactics is a theoretical discipline that deals with
the development of active techniques that are developed in the classroom,
Article
Pedagogical device: training of teaching practices in university education.
95
with which you can play with dynamics such as: crossword puzzles,
ideograms, anagrams, fitting of pieces, mentefacts, application of Cartesian
planes.
The importance of the process of structuring information makes it necessary
for the learner to prioritize ideas:
Concept maps, as well as V-heuristics, organized in tiny "fragments", help us
to construct new meanings because they help us to organize the knowledge
we place in long-term memory and because they can act as a kind of mental
scaffolding to assemble the fragments of knowledge in our working memory
(Novack, 1989, p. 5). (Novack, 1989, p. 5)
Among the advantages of active techniques for the development of teaching
practice ideas we have:
• They are useful for organizing knowledge.
• They serve to preserve knowledge.
• They allow for meaningful learning.
• They facilitate the perception of interrelationships.
• They represent a set of meanings included in a structure.
• Allows timely verification of achievements.
• Develop creativity.
• Create psychomotor skills.
• Develop visual-spatial intelligence.
Teaching practice as seen from the learning environments depends on the
investment of public universities that determine the following:
The results of the consultation showed that, in terms of national higher
education policies, the main barrier to digital transformation at the
institutional level is the "lack of public financial support" provided for HEIs
to transform. Although there were some differences in the assessment of how
national regulatory frameworks and educational policies were conducive to
Article
Pedagogical device: training of teaching practices in university education.
96
transformation, this is the most important constraint across geographic areas.
(López, et al., 2021, p. 36).
It is necessary to revalue the teaching practices for a real university
transformation where the process is developed with digital tools for the
presentation of experiential case studies in the classroom.
Didactic transposition is the process by which a knowledge content is
modified to adapt it to its teaching. In this way, the knowledge is transformed
into taught knowledge, adapted to the student's level:
A knowledge content that has been designated as knowledge to be taught,
then undergoes a set of adaptive transformations that will make it suitable to
occupy a place among the objects of teaching. The "work" that transforms an
object of knowledge to be taught into an object of teaching is called didactic
transposition. (Chevellard, 1998, p. 16).
It is necessary to know that the result of the student-teacher teaching actors
leads us to a new actor in the process called "knowledge" as part of this
teaching process, that is to say, that it can be visualized with a connotation of
the subjectivized object of learning called: student. Being this knowledge a
category of analysis of the system, which is being modified for the best
performance of the teaching.
In the group-class, the explicit task leads to the achievement of learning: the
construction of knowledge within a discipline, the acquisition of specific
intellectual or motor skills, the modification of attitudes, the change in the
forms of subject-object relationship, etc. The analysis of this from the non-
manifest levels, from the implicit task, opens new perspectives of pedagogical
understanding. "Overcoming obstacles of different kinds that interfere with
the achievement of the objectives is not alien to teaching; on the contrary, the
quality of teaching and the results depend largely on including this level of
functioning." (Souto, 1993, p. 6). .

97
To this end, knowledge is much more dynamic if it is learned in a group,
which is why the pedagogical device of pedagogical training trains, teaches
and plans the development of the constituent elements of teaching that above
all prepares for the development of the profession in the classroom.
The Escuela Nueva and its contribution to university teaching practices
In Europe at the end of the nineteenth century, the new school develops in the
development of the generational change of education, where education for
life, the construction of a student capable of being a citizen, takes place. In
Brunner's book (1995) indicates how the teaching should be carried out in
such a way that the objectives of education are fulfilled from the intellectual
reasoning of children and their cognitive psychology, the best development
of the class evolves in these six parts according to the author (p. 16) .
The teaching internship or residency environment should be an inexhaustible
place of experience that allows the new teacher to really get involved in the
educational task, because he/she is going to carry out a formative practice.
Our noble teachers in the process of training must make the environment of
the student dynamic by recreating a series of problems that will form the
motivation to solve the class.
Active methodologies allow giving value to the teaching-learning processes
from a practical approach, which determines the following:
APS (service-learning) facilitates, from its open and social conception,
experimenting on educational situations that, in addition, revert in
improvements for the community. All this, combined with appropriate
pedagogical techniques, is the ideal breeding ground for the emergence and
consolidation of the teaching condition, i.e., for the appearance of the defining
identity as a teacher. (Chiva-Bartoll & Gil-Gómez, 2018, p. 97).
Article
Pedagogical device: training of teaching practices in university education.
98
Therefore, it is a model where teaching practices are manifested in the
development of content and praxis associations where mutual collaboration
is required for the development of teaching competencies.
When a situation is unapproachable, we are faced with a dilemma that
prevents us from constructing the problematic situation. "The problem always
implies the recognition of the situation as a possible resolution based on our
intervention. The problematic situation always implies a construction, as
such, on the part of the one who is going to approach it." (Sanjurjo &
Rodriguez, 2003, p. 59) .
Thus, the problems in which we place the student under the current education
as we observed in the authors we have seen, reveal the need to develop the
intellect of students through reflective, generational and participatory practice
inside and outside the classroom, it is necessary to rediscover that way to the
teaching practice that is conscious and that resignifies the current education,
as well as those resources that allows to optimize learning and integration:
The resources that contribute to comprehension, whether they are used on the
blackboard or in the students' folders, are the diagrams (...) However, we
cannot fail to mention that the diagrams have an indisputable pedagogical
value and constitute a visual resource that, articulated in other basic forms,
strengthen the process of progressive differentiation and integrative synthesis.
(Sanjurjo & Rodriguez, 2003, p. 54)
Therefore, the didactic resources are necessary for learning and the
representation of the formation of the teaching nobel in the case of
educational cloisters, some that do not have learning environments with
technology even the classic utensils as recursive must overcome in content
and interest to the student body to cause that effect of empowerment of the
class. The active techniques proposed in this article promote the need to
provide students with educational experience, even if they do not yet have the

99
experience of "teaching practice". Thus, with the development and approach
of a classroom project containing three active techniques: study guide, case
study, problem-based learning, it is possible to condense the precisions of
university teacher training.
Study guide: study and evaluation strategies inside and outside the classroom.
Case study: allows the reinforcement of contents with the exemplification of
educational scenarios.
Problem-based learning: it implements the contents from research and its
approach to the family-teaching-school context.

training.
Source: Prepared by MSc Ericka Figueroa-Martínez, survey directed to
virtual education students period 2020-2021/ Pedagogy of Physics and
Pedagogy of Chemistry and Biology.
Ninety-two percent of the students agreed with the need to carry out
educational practices in the classroom through collaborative work,
simulations or case studies, while 5% were indifferent due to lack of
knowledge about the subject matter and 1% disagreed because they wanted
the theoretical classes to be applied in educational institutions in zone 8
(Guayas-Samborondón).

RESULTS
The use of the teacher training device in the classroom from the educational
praxis is manifested in the 164 students who were surveyed, having an
acceptance in the following aspects: collaborative learning, formative
extensions, organization of remote connectivity, project-based learning,
research processes, classroom projects, case studies, didactic guides,
formative research.
In the collaborative learning in the classroom educational practices motivate
the student to the development of teaching competencies their response
demonstrates the level and degree of interest to meet this initiative through
online learning in the integration of case studies for student training as
proposed in the survey.
Therefore, among the aspects of the Pedagogical Device: teaching practices
or residency, primary characteristics such as collaborative work and the
summative formative process are evident, that is, the evaluated process, but
with the approach of complexity.
Agreeing with Souto and Sanjurjo (2003) pointed out that complex thinking
invites you to look for uncertainty, disorder and interaction are part of
successful educational practices.
CONCLUSIONS
This research identified the pedagogical devices of teaching practice in
university education for the Faculty of Philosophy, Letters and Educational
Sciences, specifying the theoretical positions to build the development of a
class for the formation of teaching practices in the university based on aspects
such as: collaborative learning, formative extensions, organization of remote
connectivity, project-based learning, research processes, classroom projects,
case studies, didactic guides, formative research.

It is necessary to carry out reflective practices that stimulate cognition where
collaborative work is valued and that are transversal in this way the writing
of formative essays or shared evaluations bringing the experience to the
classroom through case studies, classroom projects, research workshops.
It is necessary the design of a guide for each process that is built including
the collaborative autonomous task from a tacit orientation, hierarchizing the
dynamics of the professional practice in the university through the
consultation to memorable teachers, as the experiential part of the student.
Through experience, new concepts must be reconstructed with dynamics and
mental schemes, making the school biography or life project dynamic for the
recognition of the school identity.
