Artificial Intelligence as a Teaching Tool to Promote the Development of Critical Thinking in Primary Education Students

Descripción

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a teaching tool to promote the development of critical thinking in primary education students, and its integration into the teaching-learning process, represents an important step in its use as a potentially transformative resource, allowing pedagogical challenges to be addressed through innovative and personalized approaches, focused on active learning and the different teaching strategies that can be implemented in the service of education. AI, understood as the ability of machines to simulate human cognitive processes, offers significant opportunities to enrich teaching-learning processes. By leveraging machine learning algorithms and data analytics, educators can design adaptive educational experiences that fit the individual needs of students, thereby encouraging their engagement and active participation in the learning process. Through the development of critical thinking, which is considered a fundamental skill that integrates the key competencies of the current educational system, students are encouraged to acquire the necessary skills to face the challenges of a society that needs people who are capable of handling large amounts of information. A pedagogical approach focused on students and a careful selection of active methodologies is necessary to ensure that the use of AI as a teaching tool encourages critical thinking and contributes significantly to the comprehensive development of students and the achievement of educational objectives in the digital age.
