Impacto del uso de la inteligencia artificial en las tareas escolares de matemáticas de los estudiantes de séptimo grado de la escuela de educación básica “Manuela Espejo”

Abstract

This study examined the impact of Artificial Intelligence on Mathematics homework among seventh-grade students at “Manuela Espejo” Basic Education School. A mixedmethod approach was applied: the qualitative component supported the development of the theoretical framework, while the quantitative component enabled the collection and interpretation of data through statistical tables. The research incorporated bibliographical, documentary, and field modalities, using diverse and reliable sources, as well as information obtained directly from the study environment. With a descriptive scope, the study allowed for the examination of variables and the observation of situations within the selected population at a specific moment. The population consisted of 21 seventh-grade students from the institution. The survey technique was applied using a structured questionnaire directed at both the teacher and students, including 10 Likert-scale items and 5 multiple-choice questions. A test was also administered to assess learning outcomes with and without the use of AI. The study aligned with the research line focused on social and educational behavior. The results revealed improvements in academic performance and student motivation, indicating that Artificial Intelligence positively influences the completion of school assignments. In conclusion, AI functions as an effective tool that supports the development and execution of Mathematics homework, reinforcing its value as a meaningful educational resource.
