Implementación de modelos de inteligencia artificial generativos para fomentar la creatividad en niños de Educación Básica

Abstract

This research explores the implementation of Artificial Intelligence models to foster creativity in elementary school students. This study addresses the issue of creative limitations in traditional educational settings, identifying true needs. The research was conducted with sixth-grade students and teachers at a private school in the city of Cuenca, Ecuador. A mixed-methodological approach and exploratory scope were used. The main objective is to evaluate the impact of generative AI models on students' creative development by determining prior knowledge, selecting and implementing appropriate AI models, and evaluating their effectiveness in creative activities and planning. Pre- and post-test questionnaires were administered throughout the intervention, allowing the quantification of the educational impact and progression in the subjects. Design Thinking is the main methodology used, which is based on creative activities to foster collaboration and solve problems through divergent thinking. The study's significance lies in its contribution to the field of educational innovation in Ecuador. The research seeks to establish precedents for the appropriate integration of AI in educational settings. The findings could inform future implementations of educational technologies and contribute to the development of innovative methodologies that respond to the educational needs of the 21st century.
