Abstract

The insertion of students from the beginning of their training in the fields and areas of action is one of the strengths of the UNAN-Managua model for developing competencies. The Hispanic Language and Literature program has as a strategic action of its curricular design the gradual integration of students in teaching, research, pedagogical consulting and management. The first approach of the students with the object of the profession is in the high school classrooms through the planning and execution of the student symposium. This experience is the one described in the present work, and for this reason it is governed by the sociocritical paradigm, the qualitative approach and the type of educational action research. The population was the first year students of Hispanic Language and Literature, academic year 2023, and the team of teachers who attended the first semester. The sample consisted of 49 students and 9 teachers, selected by convenience. For the collection of information, an online interview guide and a documentary analysis guide were applied. The most relevant results focus on the two main actors of the teaching-learning process: the students developed conceptual, procedural and attitudinal skills for the execution of the student symposium and the teachers promoted teamwork, formation of values and development of skills and abilities.
