Uso del Chatbot Profe de Matemáticas y su influencia en el rendimiento académico en estudiantes de cuarto año de EGB, de la Escuela de Educación Básica Manabí.

Abstract

Abstract: This research, entitled "Use of the Math Teacher Chatbot and its influence on academic performance in fourth and seventh grade students at the Manabí Basic Education School," aims to analyze the implementation of the Math Teacher Chatbot as a complementary educational resource for learning units of measurement in 77 students. The study was developed from a quantitative approach, with a quasi-experimental design, integrating diagnostic instruments, pre- and post-test assessments, and student perception surveys. The results show improvements in conceptual understanding, the development of procedural skills, and the level of motivation towards mathematical learning, as well as a high acceptance of the chatbot as a pedagogical support tool. Immediate feedback, sequential explanations, and constant support strengthened more autonomous and contextualized learning, especially in environments with technological limitations. From the perspective of educational leadership and reflective teaching practice, the findings confirm that the pedagogical integration of artificial intelligence, mediated by the teacher, contributes to innovating teaching and learning processes and promoting greater educational equity in rural contexts.
