Artificial Intelligence: some considerations in the educational field from a teacher's perspective

Abstract

The development of new technologies has provided the opportunity to improve the teaching of educational systems, however, they should not be a substitute for accompanying teachers in the training of students. For this reason, the aim of this paper was to describe the educational challenges related to the evolution of artificial intelligence from a teacher's perspective. The study is approached from a qualitative approach, using a basic aspect of grounded theory, which seeks to unveil the theory from the data, on the reality of study, the scope is descriptive, the data is collected through a structured interview with 20 teachers, two open questions and one multiple choice question were considered, whose results show ChatGPT and Google Classroom as the most used AI tools, the ease of use, time savings and the development of teaching material as its benefits, among the limitations it is noted that if AI is not used as a tool for a solid academic training it can limit the application of critical thinking in students. Therefore, the study provides information to support teachers in improving their practice, since there are more and more platforms that can be explored and applied, especially those that facilitate ethical text writing. Therefore, by way of conclusion, it is possible to mention that some considerations give us a combination of critical reflection, collaboration, training and adequate regulation is feasible to make the best use of artificial intelligence to optimize education and prepare future generations for an increasingly technological and complex world.
