Pedagogical accompaniment as indicator of educational quality

Abstract

Pedagogical support is a key element in improving the quality of education. This research describes the pedagogical accompaniment in the careers that are part of the piloting of the competency-based curriculum at UNAN-Managua. Regarding the methodological aspects, the research is qualitative, the sample is composed of the four careers of the Faculty of Education and Languages that started the piloting of the competency-based curriculum approach in 2020; the techniques to be applied are the survey, interview, focus group and classroom observation. As for the analysis of the results, content analysis, data cleaning and triangulation were carried out. The results of the research allowed us to know the development of the pedagogical accompaniment in the careers under study, the feelings of the teachers about it and the actions taken by the university to accompany the educational process. The results show that the pedagogical accompaniment is not very evident in the classroom and the feedback as part of it is not visualized in the careers. The accompaniment is centered on the fulfillment of the didactic planning.
