INFLUENCE OF KHANMIGO-BASED ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCIES IN SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been consolidating itself as a relevant tool in various areas of human activity, especially in education, due to its ability to energize, personalize and optimize teaching-learning processes. The study aimed to determine the influence of the use of Khanmigo-based artificial intelligence on the development of mathematical competencies in secondary school students. The research was developed under a quantitative approach, with an explanatory level and pre-experimental design. The experimental intervention was carried out on 38 students in the last year of secondary education, selected through random cluster sampling. For data collection, two instruments were developed and applied: a multiple alternative questionnaire on the usefulness of AI in the teaching-learning process and tests to evaluate the development of mathematical competencies, applied before and after the experimental treatment, which lasted eight weeks. The data were analysed by percentage interpretation, descriptive statistics and the t-test for paired samples. The results showed a significant increase in the positive assessment of the use of AI tools in the four dimensions considered in the study. Likewise, measures of central tendency such as the mean of the pre-test and post-test showed a significant increase, likewise, the measures of dispersion of coefficient of variation and range experienced a notable decrease; Similarly, the t-test for related samples showed statistically significant differences between the scores obtained by the study participants before and after the experimental intervention. It is concluded that the integration of AI through Khanmigo favours the strengthening of learning and the development of mathematical skills in secondary school students. Consequently, it is essential to promote the use of AI tools by teachers for the design of learning activities and by students to strengthen their motivation towards the study and use of mathematics in problem solving.
