WHEN AI ENTERS THE CLASSROOM: PERSPECTIVES AND PARADIGMS

Abstract

The research aimed to analyze how the introduction of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in classrooms transforms educational paradigms and what perspectives arise with this change. The methodology adopted was bibliographic, with analysis of academic sources on the use of AI in education, its pedagogical applications, challenges and benefits. Topics such as personalization of teaching, new pedagogical approaches, the impact of AI on knowledge management and learning assessment were addressed. The results indicated that AI promoted the personalization of teaching, providing an adaptation to the individual learning pace and increasing student engagement. Changes in educational paradigms have been observed through the introduction of active methodologies, which prioritize student autonomy. However, the main challenges identified were technological, financial, and pedagogical barriers, as well as issues related to ethics and privacy in the use of AI. The analysis indicated that the continuous training of educators and the appropriate infrastructure are essential for the implementation of AI in schools. The final considerations highlighted the relevance of AI for inclusive and personalized education, but pointed out the need for studies on the long-term impact of this technology on education and its social and pedagogical implications.
