THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE IDEOLOGICAL- POLITICAL WORK STRATEGY THROUGH THE PREVENTIVE WORK SUBJECT

Abstract

This article responds to one of the lines of the methodological work developed in the Municipal University Center of Cabaiguan: the implementation of curricular strategies in the different subjects for the comprehensive training of the Primary Education professional. The experience of the group of teachers highlighted the need to strengthen the ideological- political work with the students majoring in Primary Education who previously had graduated from the Pedagogical School. The idea encouraged the authors of this paper to set the assessment of the effectiveness of the curricular strategy: the political- ideological work with the fourth year group of the encounter course modality through the Preventive Work subject, as the research´s objective. This subject contributes to the professional training and performance of its targeted object. The research was based on a qualitative methodology. Several methods were used such as the observation from the empirical level and the analytical-synthetic, and the inductive-deductive from the theoretical level. The sample consisted of the group of graduates from the Teachers` Training School who enrolled in the 2016-2017 academic year as part of the Primary Education major. The sampling was non-intentional probabilistic, since the population and the sample coincided. The results showed the improvement of the indicators required by the implementation of the strategy. For instance, the knowledge acquired by the students was undeniable and it was supported by the adequate leadership of both the pedagogical group and the teacher who taught the subject. This experience allowed the effectiveness of the aforementioned strategy to be assessed.
