Abstract

The purpose of this study was to understand andragogical criteria from the perspective of teaching practice in early childhood education at the University of La Guajira. Its methodology focused on the interpretive paradigm with a qualitative approach and a phenomenological inductive method, using interviews and a script of questions as instruments. Among the results, it is noteworthy that andragogy, understood as a factor focused on adult learning, influences the teaching practice of students enrolled in early childhood education at the University of La Guajira, fostering autonomy and intrinsic motivation in them and leading them to apply flexible, dynamic, and collaborative strategies. This leads to the conclusion that university teachers of early childhood education should take andragogical criteria into account to enrich their practices, with a view to encouraging active participation, critical reflection, and meaningful learning.
