Introduction
This article analyzes pedagogical support as a professional training proposal aimed at promoting individual and collective strengthening and improvement of teachers' teaching practice in accordance with the competencies of the Framework for Good Teaching Performance (Minedu, 2012). For Cruz et al. (2021), pedagogical support is considered important for strengthening teacher performance; likewise, from the sources responsible for education, it is assumed as a continuous process throughout their territory. Cruz et al. (2021) establishes that "the fundamental thing is to provide technical advice to teachers that allows them to reflect on their pedagogical practice in the classroom in an environment of harmony and affective communication between the accompanying and accompanied to obtain better learning" (p.1).
Garcia (2012, p.11) quoted by Cruz et al. (2021, p.7), indicated on the dictionary of the Real Academia de la Lengua, Acompañamiento means "action and effect of accompanying, implies, participation in the feelings of others". They also defined that "This word is a synthesis of needs, feelings, tasks and projects5 its development involves two or more people and institutions, which assume a commitment with the logic of personal, institutional and contextual change, i.e. the construction of new educational practices, towards a social and transforming project". Agreda and Pérez (2020) defined pedagogical accompaniment as a formative strategy linked to the exchange of pedagogical experiences, starting with the recording of observable situations, reflective dialogue and inter-learning groups between accompanied and accompanying teachers that allow them to transform their teaching practices.
For Jabalera (2021, p.2), he considers pedagogical accompaniment as "an instrument that groups multiple strategies aimed at the development of teaching competencies", also indicating a lack of evidence of a correct use to influence the continuous development of basic competencies of the practicing teacher. The strategy used by the author was the pedagogical accompaniment plan to know the teaching competencies and the way they are transmitted to the students, but these strategies do not have the proper follow-up after knowing the improvement opportunities of each teacher. This fact invites us to reflect on the role that these strategies play in the professional development of teachers. On the other hand, Ferra's study (2021) examines the technical-pedagogical accompaniment in a virtual learning platform to strengthen the teaching intervention in the classroom.
Almendras (2019) and Alzate & Castañeda (2020) cited by González, Guanilo, Vegas, Cachicatari (2021), indicated that education is the main vehicle for the promotion of knowledge and its dissemination, based on the formation of values: social, cultural and collective that guide human beings towards cooperation, collaboration and respect for others. Arboleda and Diaz (2017) cited by Gonzales et al. (2021) consider that this guideline is based on an educational model that guarantees a permanent quality accompaniment to teachers and rethink the pedagogical concept, oriented to the needs of the user, their personal, social, economic and cultural development placing it at the level of developed countries. This accompaniment can produce benefits to achieve a significant transformation, requiring that educational institutions raise awareness of the need for change in their administrative aspects and their pedagogical dimension, promoting new visions, ideas and practices framed in a dynamic of quality execution.
Rodríguez, Medina, Tapia (202, p.2), consider that the "teacher is a fundamental factor in the quality of education and responsible for achieving authentic learning in students". In their study, the authors show that in most institutions there is a lack of induction processes and that new professors face difficulties in teaching, interpersonal relations, research and links with society. They consider it necessary for higher education institutions to implement induction programs for the success of new teachers, improving their professional performance and student learning, as well as receiving pedagogical support to integrate them into the organizational culture of the institution. In the study of Siñani (2021), I consider that there is a need to incorporate educational management with the current standards, and also found the lack of monitoring and support instruments that systematize the professional performance of teachers.
Del Valle (2020), conducted a study on the perception of students on the virtual pedagogical support of a course, determining the learning achieved to provide feedback to the professorship. They used strategies in the teaching support, expressed through collaborative evaluation, evaluation of teaching activities, self-evaluation and feedback. Rodriguez (2020), reflects on the rescue of pedagogical support seen as an open and creative attitude in the university reality. Abduraxmanovich (2020), considers the professional teaching process, where communication should be a continuous strategy, ensuring continuity between training and professional activities. Regarding the study of Valencia, Ledesma and Guevara (2020), explained that the pedagogical accompaniment has a significant impact on the training of teachers, through the improvement policies, practices and specific training experiences developed.
The present study finds its justification in the teaching accompaniment which will allow the educational institution to optimize and reinforce the pedagogical aspects of the teachers and improve the learning of their students, likewise, the supervising management of the institution will be able to take actions for post-study improvement.
In this part of the study, the international background of the study is raised, starting with: Perez, Del Valle, Valles de Rojas, Lugo, Nava (2018), raised as an objective to analyze the supervision carried out in middle school principals, to optimize the pedagogical accompaniment in educational institutions. Positivist paradigm study, sample conformed by 24 directors and 173 teachers of official educational units of the Miranda municipality, Zulia State. A Likert-type questionnaire was used, with five response alternatives, reaching a Cronbach's Alpha reliability level of 0.89 for principals and 0.98 for teachers. The results indicated that educational supervision, which allowed the creation of a good working environment based on the application of an efficient and effective form of supervision, Valencia, Ledesma and Guevara (2020), set as an objective to determine the incidence of pedagogical support in the training of teachers in the educational institution of Peru. The research of causal correlational level, the sample consisted of 65 teachers, the technique used was the survey and the instruments used for each variable were questionnaires. The results indicated that pedagogical support has a significant impact on the training of teachers at the República de Bolivia Educational Institution in Lima - Peru; it was also demonstrated that it has a significant impact on the improvement policies, practices and concrete training experiences developed, and academic production.
Table 1 shows the topic studied, author, the year in which the research was carried out and the variables taken into account. A systematic bibliographic review was conducted in order to document the problem, a search was made in databases and repositories of scientific journals. from 2014 to 2021. The information processed has contributed, according to Cruz, Siles and Bustos (2021), in a conceptual way, background and various strategies of pedagogical accompaniment. The studies evaluated indicate that pedagogical support is a very important process in the education of the country and anywhere in the world.
Regarding the follow-up of accompaniment, translated into supervision, Pérez, Del Valle, Valles, Lugo and Nava (2018), consider that educational supervision as part of accompaniment, is important because it allows creating a pleasant work climate, based on the application of an efficient and effective form of supervision, to achieve the change of behavior and performance patterns of the people engaged in the educational process. Siñani (2021) proposes monitoring for the improvement of educational management, considered by teachers as an act of relevance that guarantees academic excellence.
Materials and methods
The research is based on the review and documentary search, with classification parameters of databases such as Scopus, Scielo, EBSCO and others. Information searches were carried out, defined by each database of indexed journals. The epistemological and praxeological approach to "pedagogic accompaniment" is based on a synthesis of 18 articles, found, and also with the search term "pedagogic accompaniment". Educational proposals, accompaniment protocols with diverse results were found. In order to categorize the articles, the different types of research were classified with their respective units of observation and instruments (the researches are listed in relation to the year of acceptance in Table No. 1).
Table 2 shows the different types of methodology, with different approaches. Likewise, the subjects of analysis and instruments used in each research. It can be seen that the variable analyzed is present in different countries, especially in Latin America, with different proposals to improve teaching, which is common in all the studies.
Results
Based on the studies compiled, Table 3 presents the results, showing the contribution of each of them to the scientific community.
The information obtained from the articles shows the state of teacher accompaniment, in its different perspectives, which leads to a reflection and the work to be done, especially in the education of our country at its different levels.
Discussion
Pedagogical accompaniment is an important strategy that effectively strengthens teaching performance; likewise, in pedagogical practice, it seeks to create a classroom in an environment of harmony and affective communication between the person accompanying and the person being accompanied in order to obtain better learning. The implementation of a Pedagogical Accompaniment Plan becomes an important strategy to improve teaching performance in educational institutions.
The principles of quality, in the teaching accompaniment in formal education, are also important to be taken into account. Likewise, induction programs to improve professional performance and integrate it into the organizational culture of the institution. Innovation in a pedagogical technical assistance proposal strengthens the teaching intervention in the classroom.
There are weaknesses in the lack of follow-up and monitoring instruments that systematize the professional performance of teachers. In the search for academic excellence, it is important to build a monitoring and follow-up guide for the improvement of educational management.
The studies observed correspond mostly to the quantitative approach, descriptive and correlational, and to a lesser extent to the qualitative and mixed approach. The instruments used are mostly questionnaires and in-depth interviews. The research is based on statistics of real facts. The population and sample of the research considered is based on principals, teachers and students, who have been considered as subjects of study, which is observed and the actors involved in the teaching support are determined.
