| description | One of the main limitations to educational progress in Central America is the poor quality of teacher training. Because of this, the majority of those teaching at the primary level, have not mastered Early Grade Literacy (EGL) content knowledge and skills. The objective of this article is to present research findings which analyze the state of EGL pre-service teacher education at the National Pedagogical University (UPNFM) of Honduras. The data comes from a mapping of the EGL courses of the Basic Education Teaching Curriculum for the I and II Cycles in the bachelor’s degree field, against a conceptual framework based on current evidence on the teaching of EGL. In addition, teacher trainers and teachers in training were interviewed and observed. This qualitative study was carried out from July 2018 to March 2019. The results show that the strength of the program is the curricular design based on the competency-based education model. However, courses related to EGL teaching are insufficiently aligned with the scientific evidence. There are gaps in the curriculum that weaken the teacher training process and result in gaps in teacher trainees’ mastery of EGL content and pedagogical knowledge. These findings are presented along with recommendations for improving teacher training as a part of other efforts to provide greater opportunities to children. |

El objetivo del artículo es presentar los hallazgos de la investigación que analizó el estado de la formación inicial docente (FID) para la enseñanza de la Lectoescritura inicial (LEI) de la Universidad Pedagógica Nacional (UPNFM) de Honduras. Se mapeó el currículo de Profesorado de Educación Básica para el I y II Ciclo en el grado de Licenciatura en el ámbito de LEI, a partir de un marco de referencia basado en la evidencia actual sobre la enseñanza de la lectoescritura. Asimismo, se entrevistó y observó a docentes formadores y docentes en formación para recolectar información. El estudio de enfoque cualitativo se llevó a cabo de julio 2018 a marzo de 2019. Los resultados mostraron la fortaleza del diseño curricular sustentado en el modelo educativo por competencias. Sin embargo, los cursos relacionados con enseñanza de LEI no están lo suficientemente alineados con la evidencia contemporánea; el currículo presenta brechas y limita los procesos de formación de los docentes porque no proporciona un grado suficiente de dominio de contenidos y conocimientos de pedagogía de la LEI.
