The September-December journal of the Interdisciplinary Scientific Journal Investigación y Saberes* presents a series of research projects that stand out for their innovation in the field of education. This volume, published by the Luis Vargas Torres Technical University, addresses the integration of emerging technologies and advanced methodologies in education, reflecting a commitment to academic excellence.
One of the main articles analyzes the impact of artificial intelligence on learning, focusing on teaching experiences. It highlights that, although AI can personalize learning and improve pedagogical processes, it is essential to strengthen the technological training of educators and establish policies that promote its use.
Another important study reviews computational thinking in basic education, highlighting its benefits for cognitive development. It concludes that this skill not only improves logical reasoning and creativity, but should also be key to educational innovation in Latin America.
In addition, it explores student perceptions of generative artificial intelligence, showing a high degree of familiarity but mostly instrumental use. This underscores the need for more effective teacher mediation to promote critical and creative use. This volume offers a comprehensive overview of current educational trends, providing a solid foundation for future research and pedagogical practices, and reaffirming its role as an essential forum for the development of contemporary educational strategies.
