Percepción de los estudiantes de pedagogía de la actividad física y deporte sobre la formación y capacitación docente en el proceso de enseñanza

Abstract

The objective of this research was to design a holistic training plan for teachers of the Physical Activity and Sports Pedagogy career at the Technical University of Machala, based on the students' perception of the quality of the teaching received, in order to improve teaching methodologies and teacher-student interaction, promoting a dynamic, participatory educational environment aligned with the needs of the students. This analysis made it possible to identify strengths and areas for improvement in teacher training, considering factors such as updating the content, the pedagogical strategies used and the teacher-student interaction. The results revealed that, although teachers have solid technical skills and the syllabus is valued as an effective organizational tool, challenges persist related to the obsolescence of content, the use of traditional methods, the lack of detailed feedback in evaluations and a hierarchical interaction with students. In addition, the importance of integrating content related to contemporary social problems was highlighted to promote more comprehensive training. This study concludes that the implementation of innovative pedagogical strategies and curricular updating are essential to improve the educational experience and prepare students to face the challenges of the professional and social environment.
