Análisis del uso de tecnología de inteligencia artificial en las actividades académicas de las instituciones universitarias del Ecuador: Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH)

Abstract

Abstract:The present study analyzes the use of digital technologies and artificial intelligence tools in the academic activities of students of the Polytechnic Higher School of Chimborazo (ESPOCH), for this purpose it was aimed to identify behavioral patterns and their relationship with academic performance. The CRISP-DM methodology was used, using data mining techniques such as principal components analysis (PCA), K-means clustering and regression models based on a sample of 597 students and 52 variables related to digital habits, use of AI and academic performance. The findings showed the existence of differentiated profiles of technological use, where AI can contribute to the improvement of learning and skills, but also presents risks associated with technological dependence and inappropriate use. In addition, significant relationships were identified between the use of AI tools and academic variables, which allows us to better understand their impact on the educational environment, so it is concluded that the strategic and regulated use of AI can enhance academic performance and support institutional decision-making.
