Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed various sectors, including education. In the context of teacher training in General Basic Education, its integration enhances educational quality, personalizes learning, and optimizes educators' pedagogical competencies. This study analyzes the impact of AI on the teaching-learning process of teachers at the Vicente Rocafuerte School, focusing on the challenges and strategies necessary for the successful implementation of AI in teacher and student training. The research followed a mixed-methods approach, using a closed survey to determine the number of pedagogical and methodological strategies applied in the use of AI. Additionally, interviews were conducted to detail the resources and tasks that teachers develop with their students. The results show that teachers primarily use AI for basic tasks, such as recording attendance and tracking students' academic performance. However, despite their interest, they believe that working with AI requires financial and technological resources, which limits its adoption. In response to this perception, the research proposed a training program presenting accessible and free tools such as ChatGPT and Socratic. By the end of the training, teachers showed greater motivation upon discovering that AI reduces repetitive tasks, allowing them to dedicate more time to professional development. This approach enhances educational quality and improves harmony among teachers. The experimentation with AI tools optimizes pedagogical activities, improves the quality of the educational process, and promotes a more balanced work environment.
