Educational management in the professional guidance of the graduate in preschool education

Abstract

The training of early childhood educators in Cuban pedagogical universities faces challenges in career guidance, as shortcomings in institutional management are evident in fostering students' identification with and reaffirmation of the teaching profession. In response to this situation, this article focuses on establishing the foundations of educational management for career guidance for students in the Bachelor of Preschool Education program. A qualitative approach was employed, utilizing a documentary study and content analysis of 42 specialized references. Theoretical methods included analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive, and systemic-structural approaches. Key findings include: institutional educational management, its dimensions and guiding principles, as well as the stages of career guidance.
