CAMACHO OVIEDO, Maureen  and  ROJAS ACEVEDO, Kattia. Coordinators’ Perspective  on the Pedagogical Intervention in the Study Program “Pedagogy with a specialization in the 1^st  to 6^th grades of the Basic General Education”. Educare [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.3, pp.315-337. ISSN 1409-4258.

This scientific paper is the result of the pedagogical intervention process carried out as part of teacher  training in the study programs  of the Basic Education Division at Universidad Nacional (Costa Rica). It aims at bringing into focus the tasks of the supervised professional practice process conducted in the study program  of “Pedagogy with a specialization in the 1st to 6th grades of the Basic General Education”, from the perspective  of the coordinators  of this process. The coordination tasks that are essential for the development and successful completion  of the professional practice process are analyzed and systematized  in three main areas: coordination, induction, and conclusion of the pedagogical intervention tasks. The opinions of students and faculty members are considered in the evaluation. One of the main contributions of this paper is calling attention to the pedagogical intervention process, which involves not only the joint preparation of a course program, but also a number  of coordination strategies  among  the persons  in charge  of the pedagogical intervention to complete  the process and take advantage of the practice to think carefully on the educational reality. This study has been  also an opportunity of analysis and teamwork  focused on continuous feedback  to students and  to the  process  itself, giving a new shape  to the  professional  practice, and  strengthening university training  where  the  pedagogical intervention process  of the  Basic Education Division is a permanent research platform.
