Experimental methods to promote pre-professional practices in vocational technical high school students

Abstract

Introduction: Experimental methods are essential for vocational technical high school students because they provide skills, techniques, and abilities. Through them, students can check pre-professional practices to obtain work skills in accordance with the current market. Objective: Prepare a proposal for innovative experimental methodologies that optimize the pre-professional practices of students, thus promoting their comprehensive development in the educational, work, and social context in the “Dr. “Odilón Gómez Andrade.” Methodology: The research was descriptive on the problem of deficiencies in the use of experimental methods necessary to strengthen pre-professional practices. The quantitative approach was used, the methods used were inductive-deductive and analysis. To collect information, the following techniques were applied: observation, interview and survey of technical high school students and teachers. Results: The results indicate that after the use of experimental methods, students have changed their perception regarding pre-professional practices. However, challenges are also highlighted, such as the need for teacher training in the implementation of various methods, techniques, and strategies in the students' learning process. Conclusion: The research is feasible and relevant. It proposes solutions to the needs of students in conducting experimental methods to obtain better learning, allowing them to improve their pre-professional practices.
