Interacciones docente-estudiante en educación infantil de Camboya: una validación inicial de la Escala de Creencias e Intenciones Docentes
Contenido principal del artículo
Resumen
Los docentes mantienen numerosas creencias que influyen en sus prácticas de enseñanza diarias en el aula. Pese al creciente interés científico, existen pocos estudios sobre sus creencias e intenciones respecto a las interacciones docente-estudiante en países en vías de desarrollo. El presente trabajo investigó las creencias e intenciones de docentes de educación infantil en Camboya en relación con las interacciones docente-estudiante, centrándose en su estilo de juego, sensibilidad, comunicación verbal/no verbal, estructura factorial y relación. Un total de 409 docentes (90.2% mujeres) con edades entre 18 y 68 años participaron en el estudio. Se utilizó la Escala de Creencias e Intenciones Docentes. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos, análisis factorial confirmatorio y de correlación. Se halló que los participantes mantenían creencias e intenciones centradas en los estudiantes, destacando un vínculo directo entre sus creencias e intenciones en las interacciones docente-estudiante. El análisis factorial confirmatorio identificó cargas factoriales significativas para los factores de primer orden y una covarianza significativa entre los factores de segundo orden de creencias e intenciones. Se encontraron correlaciones moderadas entre los factores de segundo orden y sus respectivos factores de primer orden, enfatizando la interconexión entre creencias e intenciones. Este estudio apoya la validez de la Escala de Creencias e Intenciones Docentes, ofreciendo valioso conocimiento sobre la relación entre las creencias e intenciones respecto a las interacciones docente-estudiante, específicamente en el contexto de la educación infantil en Camboya. Se discuten las implicaciones para la investigación y el desarrollo profesional docente.
