Abstract

Abstract: The present study attempts to shed light on the inclusion of chatbots in school environments with the aim of achieving significant improvements in student academic performance compared to the use of traditional teaching methodologies. Students from two parallel years of the third year of high school at an Educational Unit in Ecuador participated in the experience; To contrast the results, the same topic of the Mathematics subject was addressed in both groups, in one of them using the Profe de 3ero de Bachillerato chatbot as help for classes and homework, and in the other group traditional classes. The data were obtained at two moments of the intervention: before starting the class topic, and at the end of it. Parametric tests such as Student's T were used for the study; The results showed that there was no significant difference in both groups regarding the use of the chatbot as an educational aid; however, in isolation the experimental group demonstrated more relevant improvements than the control group, which does not rule out the chatbot as an educational aid.
