Integración de herramientas de inteligencia artificial para mejorar el aprendizaje de las ciencias sociales en estudiantes de educación básica

Abstract

The present study analyzes the impact of the use of artificial intelligence, specifically the DALL·E 3 tool, in improving the learning of Social Sciences in fifth-year students of basic education in Ecuador. It focuses on the area of History, with emphasis on the discovery of America, and seeks to determine how image generation using AI can facilitate children's understanding of this historical event. Through visual representation, the aim is to overcome the limitations of traditional teaching methods, promoting more dynamic, meaningful and accessible learning. In addition to strengthening historical understanding, the integration of DALL·E 3 in the classroom seeks to raise awareness about the importance of knowledge of the past for building a better society. It is argued that knowing history contributes to the formation of more critical, empathetic citizens committed to solving current problems, such as insecurity and lack of social values. Through a qualitative approach and a methodological design based on observation and experimentation, this study evaluates the impact of AI on the teaching- learning process, highlighting its potential to improve education and citizenship training in primary school students.
