Abstract

This study aims to propose the essential features of a developmental didactic conception for the teaching–learning process of the subject Entrepreneurship and Management in the Marist Baccalaureate of Quito. A mixed-methods, descriptive-diagnostic design was employed, utilizing methodological triangulation through document analysis, classroom observations, surveys administered to students and teachers, interviews with school administrators, and a pedagogical assessment.

The proposed didactic conception addresses the theoretical and practical limitations of the teaching–learning process identified in the diagnostic phase. It adopts a developmental didactics perspective grounded in the cultural-historical approach, adapted to the context of the Ecuadorian Marist baccalaureate. This framework is experiential, participatory, and contextually situated, designed to strengthen students’ holistic development and social commitment.
