The impact of artificial intelligence on teaching performance and mediation: critical and humanized education in times of technology

Artificial Intelligence, Teaching Practice and Mediation: a Critical and Humanized Approach to Contemporary Education

Abstract

The present study analyzes the role of technologies based on Artificial Intelligence (AI), as a support tool in education, considering teaching mediation as an essential factor in balancing the use of technology with the critical development of students. The research investigated how teachers can promote critical and human learning in times of AI, questioning the extent to which technology can complement, without replacing, the pedagogical role. The central hypothesis is that teaching mediation is essential to adapt the use of this tool to educational needs, maintaining student autonomy and the humanization of teaching. The research adopts a qualitative and exploratory approach, based on a bibliographic review, which brings together recent academic publications on the use of AI in education, extracting concepts and results from studies related to the topic. The results indicated that this technological tool, when used as support, can enrich pedagogical practice. However, mediation that promotes conscious use and encourages the integral and critical training of students is essential. It is concluded that the role of the teacher is essential to integrate Artificial Intelligence in an ethical and formative way, aligning with the need for critical and humanized education.
