However, this situation raises new challenges regarding the design and implementation of the teacher preparation model within these programs. Consequently, this study aims to map and synthesize the existing evidence on the characteristics of practice-based teacher education (PBTE) programs, understood as an approach in which professional learning is constructed through authentic, situated teaching experiences rather than primarily theoretical instruction, designed for individuals who already hold technical, bachelor\u2019s, or professional degrees. The review will be conducted following the JBI (Joanna Briggs Institute) methodology for scoping reviews, and will be reported in accordance with PRISMA-ScR guidelines. Data extraction and synthesis will be structured around the JBI Participants, Concept, and Context (PCC) analytical framework. Database searches will be conducted in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus, including studies published between 2009 and 2025 in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. The review will specifically examine program duration, mentoring structures, practicum design, institutional type, teaching strategies, and reported outcomes. This protocol has been registered in the Open Science Framework (OSF) and will be publicly available once approved.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0360047","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,13]],"date-time":"2026-10-13T17:48:22Z","timestamp":1791913702000},"page":"e0360047","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Practice-based initial teacher education in alternative teaching certification programs: A scoping review protocol"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Gerardo","family":"Urra-Barra","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad San Sebasti\u00e1n","place":["Chile"],"department":["Facultad de Educaci\u00f3n"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8100-6663","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Graciela","family":"Acevedo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad San Sebasti\u00e1n","place":["Chile"],"department":["Facultad de Educaci\u00f3n"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erich","family":"Leighton-Vallejos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad San Sebasti\u00e1n","place":["Chile"],"department":["Facultad de Educaci\u00f3n"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V\u00edctor","family":"Ruiz-Gonz\u00e1lez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad San Sebasti\u00e1n","place":["Chile"],"department":["Facultad de Educaci\u00f3n"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Camila","family":"D\u00edaz-Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidad San Sebasti\u00e1n","place":["Chile"],"department":["Facultad de Educaci\u00f3n"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"pone.0360047.ref001","volume-title":"Pr\u00e1cticas reflexivas para la formaci\u00f3n profesional docente: \u00bfqu\u00e9 las hace eficaces?","author":"J Cornejo","year":"2008"},{"key":"pone.0360047.ref002","first-page":"559","article-title":"La formaci\u00f3n de profesores y su desarrollo profesional.
