recursos educativos con inteligencia artificial para la enseñanza-aprendizaje de estudios sociales en 9° egb del colegio nueve de octubre

Abstract

The present research addresses the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based educational resources in the teaching of Social Studies for ninth grade students at the Colegio de Bachillerato Nueve de Octubre. The study arises from the pressing need to update traditional teaching methods by harnessing the potential of emerging technologies to enhance student engagement and learning. In an educational context where the gap between technological evolution and pedagogical practices is becoming increasingly evident, this research set out to explore how AI can revolutionize the way social sciences are taught. The main objective was to strengthen the educational process through the implementation of innovative teaching resources generated with AI, seeking not only to improve the understanding of content, but also to foster a more dynamic and interactive learning environment that responds to the needs and expectations of 21st century students. To achieve these objectives, a mixed methodology combining qualitative and quantitative approaches was employed, including teacher interviews, and an initial and final student assessment. This comprehensive approach provided a holistic view of the impact of AI-based resources on the teaching-learning process. In addition, it was descriptive in scope and used the analytic-synthetic method and the inductive-deductive method. A prototype of educational resources was developed using advanced AI tools such as Ideogram, ChatGPT, Dupdub, D-ID, Gamma and Educaplay, in which a variety of materials such as videos, presentations, music and interactive activities were created. These materials were carefully designed to complement and enrich the Social Studies curriculum, offering multisensory and adaptive learning experiences. To facilitate access and use of these resources, a dedicated website was created using WordPress, providing a centralized and user-friendly platform for students and teachers. The results of the study revealed an exceptionally positive reception of the AI-based educational resources. The vast majority of students found these resources accessible and easy to use, indicating that the technological implementation did not present significant obstacles. A substantial number of participants stated that these resources strengthened their learning process and enhanced their understanding of Social Studies concepts. A noticeable increase in interactivity and class participation was observed, with a large proportion of students noting an improvement in these aspects. Enthusiasm for the innovation was reflected in the high level of student interest in seeing these resources implemented in other subjects. Perhaps most telling was the high level of overall satisfaction with the resources, with almost all students reporting being satisfied or very satisfied, underscoring the success of the intervention from the perspective of the end users. The findings of the study highlight the transformative potential of AI in education, particularly in the subject of Social Studies. The resources developed, which include videos, interactive slides, thematic music and gamified activities, proved to be effective in engaging students' attention and improving their understanding of complex topics.
