Artificial Intelligence and the Academic Performance of Senior High School Students In Ecuador
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, High School Education, Academic performance, Teacher training, Personalization of learningAbstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed education globally, positively influencing students' academic performance. This investigation focuses on the impact of AI on high school students in Ecuador, evaluating how it can be effectively integrated into their context. Using a bibliographic review of previous studies on the implementation of AI in secondary education, both in Ecuador and other countries, a qualitative investigation is presented in which empirical and theoretical studies and success stories and challenges are analyzed. The experiences of institutions that have integrated AI into their curricula are examined, highlighting improvements in academic performance, motivation, and student satisfaction. The results indicate that AI can personalize learning, adapt to individual needs, and provide real-time feedback, improving academic performance and student motivation. However, challenges are identified such as the lack of adequate technological infrastructure and the resilience of teachers, who often lack training to integrate AI; besides, adapting these tools to the local and cultural Ecuadorian context is necessary. It is concluded that successful implementation requires a comprehensive approach that considers the key factors identified and adapts solutions to the specific needs and context of the Ecuadorian educational system.
