aplicación de la inteligencia artificial en el desarrollo de habilidades de lectoescritura en los estudiantes de 3ero bgu en la unidad educativa “ciudad de machala”

Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on strengthening literacy skills in third-year General Unified Baccalaureate (BGU) students at the "Ciudad de Machala" Educational Unit. A chatbot called Edubotz was designed and implemented, programmed in Python and developed in Visual Studio Code, with the aim of enhancing students' active participation in the learning of Language and Literature. The study follows a mixed-method approach (qualitative and quantitative) and adopts the ADDIE model for prototype development, progressing through the phases of analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The research identified issues such as low student participation, the lack of technological tools, and the predominant use of traditional teaching methodologies. During the chatbot evaluation, two experiences were conducted: one with the subject teacher and another with students, who interacted with Edubotz using mobile devices. The survey results indicated improvements in students' motivation, reading comprehension, and writing skills, as well as greater interaction with educational content. A total of 68.42% of students believed that AI enriches their literacy learning, while 57.89% stated that it enhances reading comprehension. The main conclusions highlight the chatbot’s effectiveness in the classroom, the positive impact of AI on education, and the need to continue optimizing the tool to adapt it to more subjects. Among the recommendations, it is suggested to train teachers in technological tools and provide greater access to digital devices in educational institutions. This study demonstrates that AI is an innovative tool with great potential to improve literacy instruction, fostering autonomous and dynamic learning among students.
