Influencia del uso del Chatbot Profe de Matemáticas en el aprendizaje de las operaciones básicas con números racionales en estudiantes de noveno año de Educación General Básica

Abstract

Abstract: This research evaluated the influence of the Profe de Matemáticas chatbot on the learning of basic operations with rational numbers in ninth-grade students at the Manuel Carrión Pinzano Agricultural Technical School during the 2025-2026 period. Given the low initial academic performance, a quantitative study with an explanatory scope was proposed, using a quasi-experimental design. The census sample of 20 students interacted with the Math Teacher chatbot designed in ChatGPT as a teaching strategy. Subsequently, a survey was used as a technique and a questionnaire as an instrument. The pretest results revealed an average of 6.45, evidencing critical gaps. After the intervention, the posttest showed an average of 9.70, demonstrating a significant improvement and a leveling of the group of students. It is concluded that the chatbot, through immediate feedback and personalized tutoring, acts as an effective pedagogical mediator that enhances autonomy and conceptual, procedural, and application mastery. However, the need to fragment the information to avoid cognitive overload was identified, validating the hypothesis that the use of the chatbot positively influences mathematical learning.
