Introduction
Ethics and social responsibility in scientic research are fundamental
aspects that ensure the integrity and development of knowledge. As science and
technology advance, so do the ethical considerations inherent in conducting
research. It is vitally important that researchers not only adhere to ethical
principles in their work, but also understand the societal implications of their
ndings.
Scientic research, whether in the medical, social, technological, or
environmental elds, can have a signicant impact on human life and society as
a whole. It is therefore essential that researchers take a responsible approach,
concerned not only with acquiring new knowledge but also with the well-being
of participants, communities and the environment. Research ethics encompasses
many issues, including obtaining informed consent, protecting privacy and
condentiality, and minimizing harm.
In addition, social responsibility means that the results of scientic
research must be disseminated and applied in ways that benet society by
promoting equitable and accessible progress for all. In this book, four chapters
are addressed, emphasizing the importance of ethics in scientic research and its
relationship with articial intelligence and social responsibility.
In chapter one, we delve into the ethics of research for the development of
knowledge and the integrity of science, emphasizing that research is carried out
in a fair and responsible manner. Therefore, a lack of ethics can have devastating
consequences, such as the spread of misinformation and a loss of trust in the
scientic community. Ethics includes not only the treatment of research
participants but also the transparency of methods, data analysis and publication
of results.
Chapter two addresses the growing dependence on technology in
education and how AI solutions are implemented in the teaching-learning
binomial, urging educational institutions to become passive recipients of
technology, ignoring important skills that cannot be replaced by digital tools.
This can include communication skills, critical thinking, and creative problem-
solving. We highlight that not all students have the same opportunities to interact
7
with advanced AI tools. Therefore, the lack of adequate infrastructure can lead to
growing educational inequality, so only those with sucient resources can
benet from advances in articial intelligence.
In chapter three, we delve into interactive dialogic learning from the
conceptual pedagogical approach that is based on interaction and dialogue
between participants as fundamental methods for the acquisition of knowledge.
To deeply understand this approach, it is essential to explore the theories of
learning that underpin it, the basic principles that govern it, and how they
compare to other learning methods.
Finally, in chapter four we inquire about scientic research, especially in
the area of science and technology for development, because it is not only to
promote the advancement of knowledge, but also to invest signicantly in
research and development (R+D) for greater growth and competitiveness in
management and innovation in education.
Through this research, we want to open the debate on research ethics with
appropriate regulation, as well as active engagement by researchers and
technology developers to ensure that their work contributes positively to society.
Therefore, education in research ethics is vital for the academic preparation of
students in all cycles of education, with inclusivity and equity in teaching and
learning within learning spaces.

Chapter I
Articial Intelligence in Educational Management: Ethics
and Social Responsibility
Articial intelligence (AI) has penetrated many dierent areas of modern
society, and education is no exception. In recent years, the incorporation of
articial intelligence into educational management has revealed its
transformative potential in the way educational processes are planned,
implemented and evaluated. From using algorithms to analyze large amounts of
student data to creating personalized learning platforms, articial intelligence is
presented as a tool that can signicantly improve the eciency and eectiveness
of education. But the deployment of articial intelligence technology raises
questions of ethics and social responsibility.
As automated systems are introduced that have a direct impact on
students, teachers, and administrators, it is necessary to consider the impact of
these tools on education, as well as the importance of establishing an ethical
framework to govern their use. Articial intelligence has the potential to oer
innovative solutions to classic educational problems such as personalized
learning and resource optimization. In other words, with a recommendation
system, the content can be adapted to the needs and learning speed of each
student, thus promoting a more comprehensive and eective education (Wang et
al., 2024).
Likewise, analysis tools allow educators to identify trends in student
performance, facilitating early intervention in cases of academic risk. This is how
this technological transformation raises a series of questions regarding ethics and
responsibility when implementing it. The most important aspect is the protection
of student data and privacy. When carefully collecting and analysing personal
data, educational institutions must ensure that these processes do not violate
fundamental rights and are carried out with appropriate consent and
transparency.
The lack of clear regulations in this area can lead to abuse and breaches of
condentiality, creating a lack of trust between students and families. Another
troubling issue in the debate over the ethics of articial intelligence in education
9
is algorithmic bias. Algorithms developed by humans may reect prejudice or
discrimination existing in society. This can lead to unfair decisions that
negatively impact certain groups of students, perpetuate inequities, and limit
opportunities for students who are already disadvantaged. That's why it's
important for edtech developers to prioritize equality and diversity when
designing their tools.
Social responsibility also plays an important role in this debate. As
educational institutions incorporate AI into their practices, they must actively
participate not only in improving education but also for the benet of students
and society as a whole. This requires a careful and critical approach to the use of
AI, ensuring that initiatives are aligned with core educational values and
promote social justice.
Looking ahead, it is important that the deployment of articial intelligence
in education is done ethically and responsibly. It is important to combine
technological innovations with a continuous analysis of their impact on society,
making education not only more eective but also more equitable and accessible
to all. This approach not only benets students, but also contributes to a more
equitable and informed society in the digital age.
1.1 Denition and context of articial intelligence
Articial intelligence (AI) is dened as a eld of study of computer science
that develops systems that perform tasks that require human intelligence. These
tasks may include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and
understanding of language. The rise of intelligence is transforming educational
management by streamlining processes and personalizing learning. The origins
of articial intelligence date back to the 50s and it was coined by John McCarthy
in 1956 during a conference at Dartmouth College, considered the cradle of this
discipline.
During these early years, articial intelligence was focused on simulating
human thought processes using computer programs. Early designs included
simple logic systems and board games that pied computers against humans. AI
has faced waiting periods followed by cycles of frustration due to a lack of
signicant progress and reduced funding (Klimczak & Petersen, 2023). In this
context, starting in the 2000s, articial intelligence began to experience a
renaissance, driven by the increase in computing power, the availability of large
amounts of data, and advances in machine learning.
10
AI development can be divided into several stages. The rst phase, known
as symbolic AI, focuses on manipulating symbols and rules to solve problems in
structured environments. The second phase, which emerged in the 1980s,
involved machine learning, which uses data to identify paerns and make
predictions. The third phase still in development is the era of deep articial
intelligence, which uses complex neural networks to perform more complex
tasks.
1.2 Types of articial intelligence
Articial intelligence can be classied into dierent types, depending on its
capacity and functionality. Some of the most recognized categories are:
• Narrow AI: This type of AI is designed to perform specic tasks and does
not possess general awareness or understanding. This is the specic case
of virtual assistants such as Siri or Alexa that answer questions or perform
specic tasks.
• General AI: Refers to systems that have the ability to understand, learn,
and apply knowledge in a similar way to a human. While it has yet to be
achieved, this type of AI is a long-term goal in the eld.
• Superintelligent AI: A theoretical concept that describes an intelligence
that exceeds human capacity in all creative, emotional, and problem-
solving aspects. This type of AI still belongs to the realm of science ction.
• Machine Learning: This subcategory focuses on the development of
algorithms that allow machines to learn from data and improve with
experience.
• Deep Learning: A more advanced approach to machine learning that uses
multi-layered articial neural networks, allowing machines to process and
learn from large volumes of unstructured data, such as images and text.
Understanding the history and dierent types of articial intelligence is
essential to recognize their inuence on educational management, where the
potential of these technologies can be both transformative and limiting.
11
1.3 Applications of articial intelligence in educational
management
The implementation of articial intelligence (AI) in educational
management has generated a signicant impact in various areas, facilitating
administrative processes and improving the learning experience of students.
1.3.1 Administrative automation
Among the most prominent applications of AI in educational management
is the automation of administrative tasks. Educational institutions face a huge
burden related to data management, planning, student registration, and
performance evaluation. Articial intelligence can help simplify and streamline
these processes so that faculty and sta can spend more time teaching and
interacting with students. The main features oered by administrative
automation using articial intelligence include:
• Data governance: AI-based education management platforms can collect,
process, and analyze large volumes of student data, making it easier to
make informed decisions. This includes managing academic records,
aendance, and test scores.
• Schedule planning: AI-powered tools can help you craft class schedules
more eciently, considering various variables such as teacher availability,
course demand, and student preferences.
• Registrations and enrolments: AI systems can manage the enrolment
process, making use of chatbots that assist students in real-time,
answering questions and guiding them through the steps required to
complete their enrolment.
• Educational evaluation and planning: AI can automate the evaluation of
exams and papers, using algorithms that provide accurate feedback and
allow students to know their performance immediately, fostering a
culture of continuous improvement.
1.3.2 Characterization of learning
In the individualization of learning, the student has his or her own pace and style
of learning, and articial intelligence allows learning resources and methods to
be adapted to particular needs. Thanks to advanced algorithms, each student can
12
be provided with an educational experience more tailored to their specic needs.
Keyways AI enables personalized learning include:
• Learning data analysis: Through academic performance tracking, AI can
identify paerns and trends in student learning, allowing educators to
oer targeted interventions and recommendations tailored to each
student.
• Adaptive learning resources: AI-integrated online learning platforms can
adjust the content and diculty of lessons based on the student's progress.
If a student shows strengths in an area, the system can oer additional
implications; If you are struggling, support resources can be provided.
• Virtual learning assistants: This type of technology can help students
solve doubts in real time, oer guidance on study materials, and facilitate
a more interactive learning environment. This translates into an enriched
and more student-centered experience.
• Collaborative learning: AI can identify groups of students with similar
interests or skill levels and facilitate interactions between them, promoting
collaborative learning that initializes synergies and dynamism in the
classroom.
So, articial intelligence is transforming educational management, allowing
greater eciency in administrative processes and personalizing the learning
experience. However, it is essential to approach the implementation of these
technologies with an ethical and responsible approach, ensuring that their use
benets all actors in the education system.
1.4 Ethical implications of articial intelligence in education
The integration of articial intelligence (AI) in the education sector has
brought a number of benets, including process automation, personalization of
learning, and increased administrative eciency. It also raises important ethical
questions that need to be addressed to ensure responsible and equitable
implementation (Kamalov et al., 2023). Among these issues, the two most
pressing are privacy and data protection, as well as transparency and algorithmic
bias.
The automated collection and analysis of personal data are fundamental
elements of AI's work. In the educational context, this means collecting
13
information about students, faculty, and administrators, including academic
data, achievements, behavior, and interests. While this information can be used
to improve teaching and learning, it also poses signicant risks.
• Informed consent: The backbone of privacy is ensuring that individuals
understand what data is being collected and for what purposes. It is
critical that an informed consent system is implemented that allows
students and parents to decide if they want their personal information to
be used by AI systems.
• Data storage and handling: The way personal data is stored and handled
must be secure and comply with legal regulations on data protection. A
breach in security can lead to leaks that expose sensitive information,
aecting users' trust in the education system.
• Right to be forgoen: In the digital environment, students have the right
to request the deletion of their data once it is no longer needed. However,
this right is often not eectively recognized on platforms that use AI,
which can lead to the perpetuation of negative information about a
student, aecting their academic and professional future.
1.5 Transparency and algorithmic bias
For innovation in education, the important ethical issue is the need to
guarantee the transparency of the algorithms used in the sector. AI-driven
decisions, such as admissions recommendations, academic diagnoses, and
performance evaluations, are often based on complex models that teachers and
students don't easily understand.
• Algorithmic bias: The risks associated with a lack of transparency is the
potential for algorithmic bias, algorithms developed and trained using
historical data can reect the inequalities and biases that exist in society.
If these biases are not identied and corrected, the use of AI could
perpetuate discrimination, negatively aecting vulnerable groups such as
students from disadvantaged communities or ethnic minorities. It is
critical for educational AI developers to strive to create fair and
representative models, eliminating errors that may be present in training
data.
14
• Explainability: A lack of transparency also harms educators' ability to
understand and trust the decisions the AI system makes. Explainability is
essential for teachers and students to question and understand the
recommendations oered to them and can generate resistance and distrust
towards the new technologies implemented in learning spaces.
AI has the potential to revolutionize education, it is critical to address its
ethical implications. Protecting data privacy and combating algorithmic bias are
key to outlining a responsible and ethical path in the use of emerging
technologies in education (Chan, 2023). The educational community, together
with developers and senior managers, must work to establish clear standards
that guarantee equitable and accessible education for all.
1.6 Social responsibility in the implementation of AI in education
Social responsibility is a concept that has become increasingly important in
educational management, especially in the context of technology and its
applications in the teaching-learning binomial. The introduction of articial
intelligence (AI) in the education sector not only involves the use of advanced
technological tools, but also entails a number of rights and responsibilities that
must be considered to ensure a positive impact dedicated to learning and
teaching.
Incorporating AI into the education system can bring many benets, such as
personalizing learning and simplifying administrative processes. In contrast, this
transformation also creates ethical and social problems. Therefore, it is important
for educational institutions and technology developers to adhere to social
responsibility principles to ensure that the use of these tools benets all
participants involved in the educational process:
• Accessibility: A vital aspect of social responsibility is ensuring that access
to AI-based technologies is not limited to certain populations. It is crucial
to develop solutions that are inclusive and that consider the dierent
socioeconomic realities of students. The digital divide must be addressed
so that all students, regardless of their context, can benet from intelligent
learning.
• Fairness: The algorithms used in AI can perpetuate existing biases if not
implemented fairly. Social responsibility involves making a conscious
eort to identify and mitigate biases in AI systems that could harm certain
15
groups. For example, it's essential that personalized learning platforms
don't inadvertently favor students from certain demographics to the
detriment of others.
• Accountability in decision-making: The implementation of AI in
education can lead to automated decisions in processes such as admission,
performance evaluation, and resource allocation. It is vital that institutions
maintain a human approach to these decisions and not rely entirely on
algorithmic processes. Social responsibility involves the creation of
mechanisms that allow for human review and control in automated
decision-making.
• Transparency and accountability: Trust in AI is built on the transparency
of its processes. Institutions must clearly communicate how data and
algorithms are used to make decisions that aect students. In addition, an
accountability framework must be established that allows students and
educators to question and appeal the decisions made by automated
systems.
• Training and continuing education: To ensure the responsible use of AI
in education, it is essential that both educators and students receive
adequate training on the use of these technologies. This not only includes
knowing how to interact with AI-based tools, but also understanding their
ethical and social implications. Education must go beyond simple
technological use and encourage critical thinking about AI.
1.6.1 Towards a more responsible future
Social responsibility in the implementation of AI in education must be a
priority for all parties involved and requires a real commitment to address the
ethical and social concerns that arise with its use. Educational institutions,
technology developers, and policymakers must work together to create an
environment where AI not only improves educational eciency, but also
promotes social justice and human development.
Therefore, the implementation of articial intelligence in education entails
a series of social responsibilities that must be actively managed. Only through an
ethical and equitable approach can the transformative potential of AI be
maximized, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to reach their full
potential in an inclusive and fair learning environment.
Articial intelligence (AI) in education management not only entails a
number of challenges that must be addressed seriously and responsibly, but also
16
provides signicant opportunities to transform our educational practices and
improve student learning. With the continued advancement of technology, it is
imperative that educators, administrators, and education policymakers
collaborate to maximize the benets of AI while minimizing its risks. Among the
main challenges facing the implementation of AI in education is the digital divide
in synergy with technological advances. On the other hand, there are many
educational institutions, especially in rural or disadvantaged contexts, which lack
adequate access to devices and internet connection. This inequality can
exacerbate dierences in educational opportunities and limit the eective use of
AI.
The issue of data privacy and security is another major concern. The bulk
collection of students' personal data raises questions about how this data is
managed and protected. Institutions must ensure that they comply with data
protection regulations, and that data is not used in an inappropriate or
exploitative manner.
In addition, there is a risk of algorithmic bias. AI systems are fed by
historical data, and if this contains biases, AI can perpetuate and amplify these
biases in its decisions. This is especially concerning in education, where a bias in
student assessment can lead to wrong decisions about their potential and
opportunities. Resistance to change among educators and administrators can
also be a signicant obstacle. The introduction of new technologies usually faces
skepticism and lack of adequate training. The need to develop digital skills in
education sta is crucial for the successful integration of AI into teaching and
learning processes.
Despite this panorama, the opportunities presented by AI in educational
management are promising and the personalization of learning is one of the most
prominent applications of AI. Through the use of data analysis and adaptive
algorithms, AI systems can create personalized educational experiences that
adjust to the needs and learning rhythms of each student, generating a school
climate adapted to the real context of the members in the classrooms.
This is how automating administrative tasks can maximize the time for
educators to focus on teaching and personal interaction with students. AI can
take care of repetitive tasks such as exam correction, aendance management,
and schedule planning, thus allowing education sta to spend more time
developing innovative teaching strategies (Chiawa, 2023). AI can facilitate the
analysis of school performance and the early identication of at-risk students;
17
And this is possible by using analytical tools, institutions can beer predict
student achievement and develop proactive interventions that help students stay
on track for educational success.
So, continuous training that can be oered through AI-powered platforms
is a great opportunity to improve teacher education. Allowing access to online
courses and resources not only improves digital skills, but also fosters a culture
of continuous learning that is vital in today's fast-paced technological world.
With an ethical and responsible approach, articial intelligence has the potential
to transform the educational eld in ways that benet students and teachers
alike.
The incorporation of articial intelligence in educational management
represents a signicant step towards the modernization and eciency of the
education system. It also raises important ethical and social considerations that
need to be carefully addressed. As educational institutions begin to integrate AI
tools, it is essential to reect on the impacts and implications of their use in
learning, teaching, and administration.
In this sense, the characterization of learning through AI can transform the
educational experience of students, allowing an adaptive approach that adjusts
to individual needs. In other words, AI-based platforms can analyze students'
academic performance, identify their strengths and weaknesses, and oer
specic resources and materials to help them integrate multiple intelligences.
However, this personalization must be carefully designed to avoid creating
systems that perpetuate existing inequalities or ignore the needs of minority
groups. In turn, it is crucial that the decisions made by machines are transparent
and understandable for students, parents, and educators.
While AI can improve operational eciency and allow educators to focus
on more creative and pedagogical aspects of their profession, it is also critical to
consider the implications of the dehumanization of education. The absence of
human interaction in certain processes could aect the quality of the educational
experience, as the emotional and social context of learning is equally important.
Emphasis should be placed on privacy and data protection as a fundamental
maer when using articial intelligence systems that collect and analyze personal
information. Institutions should ensure that appropriate measures are in place to
protect this data and that students and their families are informed about how
their information will be used. Therefore, it is vital to establish clear and adequate
policies for the management of information.
18
Regarding algorithmic bias, it is essential to recognize that AI systems are
designed by humans and, as such, can inherently include biases that reect
existing social and racial inequalities. The implementation of articial
intelligence in education must be constantly reviewed and audited to minimize
these biases and ensure that all students are treated equally. The responsibility
for monitoring these processes lies not only with technology developers, but also
with educational administrators and legislators who establish regulations.
It is important that the adoption of these new technologies is carried out
with a focus on social and ethical well-being. Educational institutions must
become leaders in the discussion on the ethics of articial intelligence and its
application in learning. Considering the voices of students, parents, and
educators is essential to creating a framework that not only seeks to improve
educational eectiveness, but also to promote equity and social justice (Akgun,
& Greenhow, 2022). Therefore, articial intelligence has great potential to
transform educational management, but its implementation must be guided by
solid ethical principles and relevant social responsibility. Only in this way can it
be guaranteed that its use contributes to the integral development of students
and to the construction of a fairer and more accessible education for all.
1.7 Ethics and deontology of articial intelligence in the education
sector
The main ethical issues that arise when implementing articial intelligence in
education is equitable access, as not all students have the same level of access to
technology, which can lead to dierences in learning outcomes. This raises
questions about social justice and the need to adopt inclusive policies that ensure
that all students, regardless of their socioeconomic background, have equal
access to the benets that AI brings. In addition, another important aspect to
consider is the bias of the algorithm. Articial intelligence systems can perpetuate
or even amplify existing errors in the data they are trained on. Therefore, if an
algorithm is trained on data that reects racial or gender inequalities, the system
can reproduce similar errors in its recommendations or rankings, which can lead
to unfair and discriminatory results. This requires the development of
transparent and veriable algorithms that allow teachers and administrators to
identify and eliminate any potential bias.
Privacy and data protection are also important ethical issues when
applying articial intelligence to education. The handling of sensitive student
19
data, such as grades and behavior, is subject to strict privacy regulations. Data
collection should be ethical and transparent and provide parents and students
with information about how their data will be used.
1.7.1 Social and Cultural Eects
The incorporation of articial intelligence into education not only has
ethical implications but also important social and cultural implications. The
personalization of learning is an eect that worries many educators and parents
because it plays a more active role in learning and there is a risk of weakening
the human connection between students and teachers. Education is not only
about imparting knowledge, but about building interpersonal relationships,
empathy and developing social skills. Education is not a homogeneous
phenomenon and AI tools must be developed considering the cultural and
contextual characteristics of each learning community.
This requires a localized approach to creating AI-based educational
software that considers cultural diversity and dierent student needs. Finally, the
use of articial intelligence could also inuence the public's expectations of
education. An increased reliance on technology can lead to the misconception
that the quality of education can only be measured through quantitative data.
This approach may underestimate core values such as critical learning, creativity,
and problem-solving, which are dicult to measure but are equally important
for students' well-rounded development.
1.7.2 Deontology and Guiding Principles
Deontology in the context of articial intelligence (AI) applied to
education is a crucial aspect that denes the ethical conduct of developers and
the institutions that create and apply these technologies. Understanding the
behavioral norms that professionals in this eld must follow is essential to ensure
that AI benets all actors involved in the educational process.
A well-dened code of conduct is critical for developers of AI technologies
in the education sector. This code should address key aspects such as:
• Integrity: Developers should strive to create systems that are fair and don't
perpetuate bias. A commitment to scientic and technical integrity is essential to
building algorithms that operate ethically.
• Transparency: AI designers should adopt practices that favor
transparency in algorithmic processes. This involves not only documenting how
20
models work, but also clearly communicating to educators and students how AI-
based decisions are made.
• Privacy: Protecting students' personal data is an essential principle that
should guide the development of AI tools. Developers must ensure that
regulations such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe, as
well as other related legal frameworks, are complied with.
• Collaboration: Fostering interdisciplinary collaboration between
developers, educators, and psychologists is key to creating eective tools. This
not only improves AI applications, but also helps identify and mitigate potential
ethical risks.
A code of conduct that urges developers to act responsibly and ethically
can contribute signicantly to creating an educational ecosystem in which
technology is at the service of learning and human development.
1.7.3 Responsibility and Accountability
Responsibility and accountability are fundamental concepts that must be
present in any AI project aimed at the educational eld. Lack of accountability
can lead to problematic situations that negatively aect students and the system
as a whole (Zhai et al., 2024). Some things to consider include:
• Identication of Responsible Parties: It is essential that clear roles are
established in the development and deployment of AI. This includes identifying
those responsible for the design, implementation, and oversight of the
technologies used. Those who design and apply AI must be responsible for their
decisions and actions.
• Impact Assessment: The implementation of AI tools should be preceded
by ethical impact assessments that analyze how they will aect various
educational communities. These assessments help to anticipate and minimize
harmful consequences before technologies are deployed.
• Complaint Channels: Educational institutions should establish accessible
channels for users, including students and teachers, to report issues related to the
use of AI. Feedback systems are essential for detecting and correcting errors or
biases in the operation of AI.
• Ongoing Training: Both developers and educators should receive ongoing
training on ethical aspects related to AI. This helps to ensure that all parties are
21
aligned around the principles of ethics and deontology, promoting a responsible
use of educational technologies.
The combination of a strong code of conduct and a strong commitment to
responsibility and accountability will enable progress towards an ethical,
responsible and win-win integration of AI in the education sector.
1.7.4 Ethical Risks in the Use of AI
The use of articial intelligence (AI) in the education sector has
transformed the way students learn and educators teach. Educational platforms
that use AI often collect comprehensive information to personalize the learning
experience, which involves considerable risk in terms of privacy. The data
collected may include:
• Academic information and student performance.
• Learning behaviors and paerns.
• Demographics (age, gender, geographic location).
Improper handling of this information can have devastating
consequences. From the sale of data to third parties without consent to
unauthorized access by malicious entities, the possibilities are worrying. The
exposure of sensitive data can result in irreparable damage to students'
reputations, as well as their trust in educational institutions.
In addition, the lack of clear and robust regulations on data protection in
many jurisdictions increases the vulnerability of these platforms and, therefore,
of their users. Educational institutions must adopt rigorous and transparent
privacy policies, ensuring that data is used only for the purposes for which it was
collected. Implementing security measures, such as data encryption and
restricted access, is crucial to mitigating these risks.
AI algorithms are designed to make predictions and decisions based on
large volumes of data. But, if the training data contains bias or is representative
of a particular population, the results may be unfair and discriminatory. In the
educational context, an algorithm that assesses a student's potential may favor
certain demographics to the detriment of others. This can manifest itself in:
• Unequal access to educational resources.
• Biased evaluations and ratings.
22
• Inequality in personalized learning opportunities.
This bias can reinforce existing stereotypes and perpetuate inequities in
the education system. Students who are disadvantaged, whether because of their
socioeconomic background, race, or gender, are at risk of receiving a lower-
quality education due to biased algorithmic decisions.
To address these issues, it is essential for AI developers to work on creating
transparent and auditable algorithms, which are capable of identifying and
correcting biases in their data models. In addition, diversity in development
teams should be encouraged to ensure that multiple perspectives are present in
the design and implementation of AI-based educational tools (Koçak et al., 2024).
Therefore, articial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize education, the
associated ethical risks, such as data privacy and algorithmic bias, must be
managed seriously. Educational institutions, together with developers of AI
technologies, have a responsibility to establish practices that ensure ethical and
fair use of these tools, protecting all actors involved in the educational process.
1.8 Good Practices and Mitigation Strategies
The integration of articial intelligence (AI) in the education sector
presents several opportunities to improve teaching and learning. Therefore, it is
essential to implement good practices and mitigation strategies that ensure a
responsible and equitable use of these technologies. Transparency in the use of
algorithms is essential to ensure trust in AI tools applied to education. This means
that both developers and educational institutions need to be clear about how
algorithms work and what criteria they use to arrive at specic decisions. Among
the strategies that can be adopted, we highlight:
• Clear documentation: Provide manuals and appropriate documentation
that explain the algorithms and decision-making process. This material should
be accessible not only to educators and administrators, but also to students and
their families.
• Audits and reviews: Conduct independent audits and regular reviews of
algorithms and their results. This will allow you to identify biases or errors and
adjust the models as needed. The results of these audits should be published to
promote accountability.
23
• Education on the use of AI: Include in academic programs content on how
AI works, its benets and limitations. This will help both educators and students
have a deeper and more critical understanding of the tools they use.
• Active communication: Establish communication channels where
concerns and suggestions related to the use of AI can be shared. Not only does
this help solve problems in real-time, but it also strengthens collaboration
between all stakeholders.
1.8.1 Involvement of the Educational Community
The involvement of the educational community is another essential
strategy to mitigate the ethical risks of AI in education. This means that all actors
involved (students, parents, educators, and administrators) must have an active
and signicant role in the process of implementing and evaluating these
technologies. Some best practices in this area are:
• Fostering participation: Creating forums and spaces for dialogue where
the impacts and uses of AI in the educational environment are discussed. The
active participation of students and parents can provide valuable perspectives
that inuence decision-making.
• Interdisciplinary collaboration: Foster collaboration between dierent
disciplines and areas of knowledge to address the ethical conicts of AI from
multiple approaches. This may include the participation of experts in ethics, law,
and technology.
• Training programs: Oer training programs to all levels, from educators
to students, on the responsible and ethical use of AI. This will ensure that
everyone is empowered to address potential issues and contribute to a safe
educational environment.
• Continuous evaluation: Implement feedback mechanisms that allow the
use of AI and its impact on learning to be constantly evaluated. This should
include surveys and focus groups to gather feedback and experiences on their
use in the classroom.
Transparency in the use of algorithms and the involvement of the
educational community are essential to mitigate the ethical risks associated with
articial intelligence in education. These practices not only foster trust in
emerging technologies, but also contribute to a more equitable and responsible
educational environment.
24
The application of articial intelligence (AI) in the education sector has
generated growing interest in the academic community, as well as in institutions
seeking to improve the quality of learning. Through various case studies,
successful implementations and lessons learned can be identied that can serve
as a guide for the future use of AI in education.
1.8.2 Lessons Learned and Future of AI
The most common mistakes in AI applications in education is the lack of
prior training of teachers, they do not receive the necessary training to eectively
use these tools, which limits their potential. It is essential that any AI
implementation includes accessible and eective training programs for teachers.
Ethics also play a fundamental role. In some cases, it has been observed
that algorithms can perpetuate biases or discriminate against certain groups of
students (Chen, 2023). During the implementation of an automated scoring
system for entrance exams, a university in the United States had to face criticism
for obtaining results that favored students from privileged backgrounds. This
experience underscores the need to develop algorithms that are fair and
representative.
It is vital to adopt a collaborative stance between students, educators and
technology developers. The active participation of all stakeholders ensures that
AI solutions are not only focused on the technology, but also on the real needs of
the educational process. In addition, the development of a data protection policy
is indispensable. Proper management of student data is crucial to maintaining
their privacy and trust.
The future of articial intelligence (AI) in education promises to be
transformative and revolutionary, oering new opportunities to improve the
quality of learning and teaching. While this development is not exempt from
ethical and deontological boasts, they must be addressed to ensure that the
implementation of AI benets all actors involved in the educational process. By
analysing data collected on students, articial intelligence can help tailor
curricula to each student's individual needs, facilitating a more inclusive
education. This translates into the possibility for each student to progress at their
own pace, receiving support according to their level of understanding and skills
(Ellikkal & Rajamohan, 2024).
In addition, education itself must adapt to the presence of articial
intelligence in the classroom. It is essential that content on digital literacy and AI
25
ethics be integrated into educational programs to prepare future citizens to
interact with these tools critically and responsibly. Students must be able to
understand not only how AI works, but also the ethical implications of its use,
including algorithmic decision-making and the social impact of technology.
However, the implementation of AI in education faces several setbacks
and risks. Among them are:
• Inequalities in access: Not all students and educators have the same access
to technology. This can widen the education gap rather than narrow it.
• Data management: Data collection and analysis must be carried out
ethically and transparently to protect student privacy.
• Dehumanization of learning: Relying too much on AI can lead to an
education that relies too heavily on algorithms, to the detriment of human
interaction and the development of social skills.
To address these challenges, it is crucial that there is a collaborative
approach to the implementation of AI in education. Educational institutions,
technology developers, policymakers, and the community at large must work
together to establish good practices and policies that regulate their use.
1.8.3 Towards a hybrid model
The creation of a hybrid educational model where AI complements and
enhances the work of the teacher, helping to create more dynamic and interactive
learning spaces. Educators could use AI tools to assess their students’ progress
and design more impactful teaching strategies more eectively. It is through the
use of AI-powered learning management systems that teachers can receive alerts
about students who might need additional aention, allowing for early
intervention.
Likewise, the continuous training of teachers in the use of AI tools is
essential. They must be prepared to integrate these technologies in a way that
fosters a nurturing and ethical learning environment. This involves not only
being procient in the use of technology, but also understanding its ethical
implications and its impact on teaching and learning. The future of AI in
education is full of promise and opportunity, but also signicant contrasts that
require an ethical and responsible approach. The key will be to nd a balance
that allows us to move towards a more personalized and inclusive education,
without losing sight of the importance of human interaction and respect for
26
fundamental ethical values. How society addresses these issues will determine
the real impact of articial intelligence on our educational institutions and, by
extension, on future generations.
The integration of articial intelligence (AI) in the education sector poses
a series of challenges and opportunities that must be addressed from an ethical
and deontological perspective. As technologies advance and become more
ubiquitous, their impact on learning environments becomes increasingly
palpable, presenting both benets and risks that need to be carefully weighed.
It is essential to recognize that AI has the potential to revolutionize
education by personalizing the learning experience. Tools such as virtual tutors,
adaptive learning platforms, and learning management systems can facilitate a
more student-centered approach. However, with this potential comes a
responsibility to ensure that the data used to power these systems is managed
ethically. The collection, storage, and processing of students' personal
information must be governed by clear principles that prioritize security and
privacy.
Also, algorithmic bias is a signicant factor in the educational context,
algorithms used in AI tools can perpetuate or even amplify existing inequalities
if not designed carefully. For example, if the training data used to create these
algorithms reects historical or cultural biases, the results produced by the AI are
likely to show bias as well. Not only does this aect equity in education, but it
can also have repercussions on the self-esteem and future opportunities of
vulnerable students. Therefore, it is crucial to implement auditing and review
mechanisms for algorithms used in educational applications to ensure that they
are fair and equitable.
Education must be accompanied by training that prepares teachers to
integrate AI into their teaching methods without losing sight of the humanity and
critical judgment that are fundamental in the educational process. Educators
must be empowered to question and evaluate the analysis oered by AI tools,
integrating their professional expertise with technological capabilities (Seo et al.,
2024).
Based on this, the need arises to build a regulatory framework that
guarantees ethics in the use of AI in education. This framework should be based
on principles that promote transparency, accountability, and the participation of
diverse stakeholders, including students, parents, educators, and technology
27
developers. Only in this way can we aspire to create an educational environment
where technology complements and enhances teaching, rather than replacing the
human interaction that is essential for eective learning.
It is vital to foster an ongoing dialogue about the ethical and deontological
implications of articial intelligence in education, as technology continues to
evolve. Ongoing research, as well as the exchange of experiences and good
practices between institutions, can contribute to a deeper understanding of how
AI can be used to improve education without compromising ethical principles.
Articial intelligence has the potential to transform education, but its
implementation must be guided by a serious commitment to ethics and
deontology. It is a eld in which it is crucial not only to seek technological
innovation, but also well-being and equity for all actors involved in the
educational process. With a proactive and thoughtful approach, it is possible to
achieve a positive and responsible integration of AI in education.

Chapter II
Teaching and learning with articial intelligence
applications
The integration of articial intelligence (AI) in the education sector opens
up several opportunities to improve teaching and learning. Therefore, it is
important to implement best practices and mitigation strategies to ensure the
responsible and equitable use of these technologies. In this chapter we consider
two important aspects: transparency in the use of algorithms and the
commitment of the educational community.
Transparency in the use of algorithms is essential to ensure trust in AI tools
used in education. This means that both developers and educational institutions
must have a clear understanding of how algorithms work and the criteria they
use to make specic decisions. Among the possible strategies we can distinguish:
2.1 Augmented and virtual reality, applications in education
Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) represent an additional
dimension in educational innovation facilitated by articial intelligence. These
technologies transform the classroom into an immersive environment, allowing
students to interact with concepts in tangible and visual ways (Christopoulos et
al., 2018). Among the applications in education we have:
- Laboratory simulations where students can experiment without the risks
associated with real materials.
- Virtual eld trips to historical sites, museums, and science spaces that
would otherwise be inaccessible.
- Educational games that encourage teamwork and the development of
social skills in controlled environments.
These immersive experiences not only enrich learning, but also encourage
students' curiosity and interest in complex topics, facilitating a beer
understanding and assimilation of the subjects.
Gamication is another innovative aspect where articial intelligence is
having a signicant impact. By integrating elements of play into the learning
process, it seeks to increase student engagement and participation. AI systems
29
can personalize gamication, adjusting diculty levels and makes it an eective
method for teaching, improving skills, and encouraging continuous learning.
The application of articial intelligence in education is not only enabling more
ecient management but is also transforming the very concept of learning.
Through a personalized approach, immersion in AR and VR environments, and
the integration of gamication, AI is creating a more inclusive, dynamic, and
eective educational future.
2.3 Ethics, deontology and considerations in the use of AI
The collection and processing of data through AI-based tools often
involves the handling of private student information, which raises serious
privacy and security concerns. Education systems use data to personalize
learning, identify areas for improvement, and tailor pedagogical interventions.
Among the main concerns are:
- Informed consent: It is essential that informed consent is secured from
students and their parents before any data is collected. This involves not
only obtaining authorization, but also ensuring that the parties involved
understand how their data will be used.
- Transparency in data use: Institutions must be transparent about how data
is collected, stored, and used. A lack of clarity can lead to mistrust among
parents and students.
- Information security: It is vital to implement robust security measures to
protect sensitive information. Security breaches in data handling can
result in the exposure of personal information, which would not only
aect individuals, but also the reputation of educational institutions.
In addition, the possibility of biases in the data used to train AI systems
should be considered. If the data collected is biased, AI can perpetuate or even
exacerbate existing inequalities in education.
2.3.1 Implications for teachers
- Teacher replacement: One of the most common fears is that AI could
replace human educators, which could dehumanize the educational
process. It is essential that AI is seen as a tool that complements the work
of teachers instead of replacing it.
- Technological dependence: Dependence on AI tools can lead to a decrease
in teachers' pedagogical skills and critical capacity. Training in the use of
30
these technologies must be accompanied by a strengthening of
interpersonal and teaching skills.
- Inequalities in access to technology: Not all educational institutions have
the same access to AI tools, which can lead to disparities in the quality of
education oered. Teachers need to be aware of these dierences and
work to ensure that all students have equal opportunities to benet from
AI.
- In summary, while articial intelligence has the potential to transform
education, it is critical that educational institutions address the ethical
aspects that its use entails. This involves ensuring data privacy and
preparing teachers to leverage technology responsibly and eectively,
thus ensuring an equitable and humane educational environment.
Articial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the education landscape,
and its future promises to be even more impactful. As technology advances,
educational institutions, from basic education to universities, must adapt to these
innovations to remain relevant and eective (Kamalov et al., 2023). There are
several emerging trends that are shaping how AI is integrated into the education
sector:
- Adaptive learning: AI makes it possible to create personalized learning
experiences tailored to each student's individual needs. Through machine
learning algorithms, systems can analyze student performance in real-
time and adjust the content, diculty, and pace of learning according to
their specic requirements.
- Virtual assistants: Increasingly, institutions are using chatbots and virtual
assistants to provide support to students and teachers. These tools can
answer frequently asked questions, aid in problem-solving, and provide
educational resources, freeing up teaching sta to focus on more complex
and creative tasks.
- Automated assessment: AI facilitates the automatic correction and
assessment of exams, assignments, and projects, which not only saves
time, but also reduces human bias in grading. This allows teachers to focus
on qualitative feedback and improving teaching.
- Educational data analysis: The collection and analysis of data using AI
allows you to identify trends and paerns in student performance. This
data can help institutions beer understand students' diculties and
design more eective intervention strategies.
31
The future of articial intelligence in education is promising and full of
possibilities, including:
- Integration of augmented and virtual reality: The combination of AI with
augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies is anticipated
to revolutionize the way we teach and learn. Students will be able to
immerse themselves in virtual environments where they can interact and

The transcendence of AI in education oers a horizon full of innovative
opportunities that, if properly implemented, can revolutionize the way we learn
and teach. Likewise, it is crucial to address these advances ethically and
responsibly to ensure that all students benet from this transformation and
represents a paradigmatic shift that not only transforms the educational
environment, but also redenes the role of the actors involved in the teaching-
learning process (Alam & Mohanty, 2023). Therefore, it is imperative that
educational institutions adopt and adapt new technologies to improve their
eectiveness and relevance in a global context.
2.3.2 Personalization of learning and eciency in management
AI also makes it possible to optimize the administrative management of
educational institutions, from automating administrative processes to eciently
managing resources, articial intelligence can free up valuable time for educators
to focus on what really maers: teaching. Smart tools can aid in resource
32
allocation, scheduling planning, and tracking student progression, leading to
greater operational eciency.
Incorporating advanced technology, such as AI, into the educational
curriculum not only prepares students for the future, but also fosters the
development of critical 21st-century skills. Competencies such as critical
thinking, problem-solving, and creativity are enhanced by using technological
tools that simulate real-world scenarios and allow students to experiment and

Educational management and innovation through articial intelligence
applications are fundamental pillars for the education of the future. The key to
eective development lies in collaboration between all actors involved, ensuring
that technological tools include and benet all students, creating an inclusive
educational environment adapted to the needs of the 21st century.
2.4 Teaching and learning with articial intelligence applications
The implementation of articial intelligence (AI) in education has changed
the way we teach and learn. As technology advances, new opportunities open up
that allow the educational process to be optimized, making it more personalized,
accessible and ecient (Labadze et al., 2023). AI oers tools that analyze the
behavior and performance of students, allowing the creation of content adapted
to their individual abilities:
- Continuous Assessment: Using algorithms that collect data on students'
interactions with educational material, AI can identify areas where a
student is struggling and oer specic resources to address them. This
33
allows educators to tailor their teaching methods to each student's needs,
thus improving their understanding and retention of information.
- Resource Recommendations: AI-based educational platforms can suggest
study materials, exercises, and hands-on activities to students based on
their preferences and previous results. This not only optimizes study time,
but also motivates students to explore dierent learning modalities.
- Self-directed learning: Articial intelligence fosters student autonomy by
allowing them to access tools and resources independently. Not only does
this strengthen their ability to learn on their own, but it also teaches them
valuable skills that will serve them well throughout their lives.
AI also plays a crucial role in creating a more accessible and inclusive
educational environment. Smart systems can cater to the diversity of educational
needs, ensuring that all students, regardless of their abilities, have access to the
same quality of education:
- Support for Students with Disabilities: Tools such as reading software,
automatic captioning, and real-time translation make it easier for students
with hearing or visual disabilities to learn. Thanks to AI, adaptive
resources can be created that adjust to the abilities of each student,
reducing the barriers often encountered in a traditional academic
environment.
- Language and Communication: Articial intelligence makes it possible to

can help educators identify trends in student performance, as well as areas
for improvement in the course design itself. This data can be used to
continuously adjust and improve the educational oer, ensuring that
students' needs are met in the future.
Overall, articial intelligence is transforming teaching and learning in ways
that go beyond what could have been imagined a few years ago. The
personalization of learning, the improvement in accessibility and inclusion, as
well as the eciency and time savings it provides, are just a few examples of how
AI can be a powerful ally in the educational process. With the unication of these
technologies, the future of education promises to be more inclusive, eective and
enriching for each student, bringing us closer to a more equitable educational
model adapted to the demands of the 21st century.
2.4.1 Applications of Articial Intelligence in the Classroom
Assessment is a fundamental part of the educational process, and with the
help of AI, it can be done more eciently and objectively. Automated assessment
systems use algorithms to grade exams, essays, and other tasks, oering multiple
benets that can transform assessment in the classroom:
- Faster feedback: Automated systems can grade tests in seconds, allowing
students to receive near-instant feedback and correct errors in their
learning process.
- Standardization and objectivity in assessment: Unlike human assessment,
which can be subjective and inuenced by personal factors, AI provides a
more objective rating based on predetermined criteria.
- Performance analysis: These platforms can analyze student performance
over time, identifying paerns and areas where students may need
additional support.
The implementation of automated assessment systems allows teachers not
only to save time on exam correction, but also to gain a clear view of the group's
35
performance and adjust their teaching methods according to the needs identied
through the analytical data generated.
Simulation and augmented reality (AR) are immersive tools that are
revolutionizing the teaching of complex disciplines, such as medicine, science, or
engineering. Through the creation of immersive learning environments, these
technologies allow students to interact with content in a way that simply reading
or viewing could not achieve:
- Experiential learning: Simulations allow students to experience real-world
situations without the associated risks. For example, in a medical
simulation environment, students can practice surgical or diagnostic
procedures.
- Improved conceptual understanding: AR can overlay digital information
into the real world, helping students visualize abstract concepts. For
example, when studying chemistry, students can observe chemical
reactions in an interactive 3D environment.
- Motivation and engagement: These technologies make learning more
engaging and exciting, encouraging greater interest in course content and
promoting active participation.
Simulation and AR applications can also be used in areas such as history,
where students can experience historical events in a vivid and dynamic way. This
not only facilitates the retention of information, but also allows knowledge from
various disciplines to be integrated, making the learning process comprehensive
and enriching.
The use of articial intelligence in the classroom oers vast potential to
improve teaching and learning. Through virtual assistants, automated
assessment systems, and augmented reality simulations, educators and students
can benet from more personalized, ecient, and engaging teaching methods. It
is important to be aware of the limitations that this integration presents, as well
as the need for training and continuous support for both teachers and students
(Zouhri & Mallahi, 2024). In an increasingly digital world, AI is presented not
only as a tool, but as an indispensable ally in the evolution of education.
In this context, it is essential to analyze long-term projections and how AI will
transform the role of the teacher in the classroom. As AI technologies continue to
advance, new opportunities present themselves that can change the way we teach
and learn.
36
2.4.2 Long-Term Projections and the Evolution of the Teacher's Role
Long-term projections on AI in education suggest that its implementation
will become increasingly profound and multifaceted. As AI evolves, tools and
applications are expected to become more sophisticated, allowing the
educational experience to be personalized in ways that are just beginning to be
explored:
- Directed learning: One of the most exciting projections is the possibility of
oering highly personied learning experiences. AI systems will be able
to analyze each student's performance and learning styles, adapting
content and teaching strategies to meet individual needs. Not only will
this improve understanding of concepts, but it will also increase students'
motivation and engagement.
- More eective assessments: AI will enable more accurate and eective
assessments. Through advanced algorithms, applications will be able to
identify not only the student's performance in nal exams, but also their
areas of weakness and strength in real time. This information will allow
educators to adjust pedagogical strategies immediately, rather than
waiting until the end of an academic cycle to make changes.
- Lifelong education: With the rapid evolution of the labour market,
continuing education will be essential. AI will facilitate lifelong learning
by oering courses and resources tailored to the changing needs of
professionals. This includes exible training programs that t individuals'
schedules and preferences, making education more accessible to
everyone.
- Improved inclusivity: AI has the potential to improve accessibility in
education. Tools such as voice assistants and translation apps can help
overcome language and disability barriers. In this way, students from
dierent backgrounds and abilities will have the same learning
opportunities.
- Simulations and immersive learning: As augmented and virtual reality
technologies integrate with AI; teaching methods will become more
immersive. Students could participate in complex simulations that allow
them to experience real-world situations in a safe and controlled
environment, thereby improving their understanding and practical skills.
The introduction of articial intelligence in education also raises questions
about the future of the teacher's role. As automated tools take on certain
37
functions, it is crucial to consider how the teaching profession will be
transformed:
- Guides and mentors: With the availability of AI systems that can provide
immediate feedback, the teacher's role could shift more towards being a
guide and a mentor. Rather than being the sole source of knowledge,
educators will focus on facilitating learning, helping students navigate
their personalized learning experiences, and fostering critical thinking
and collaboration.
- Facilitators of the learning culture: Teachers will have a key role in creating
a positive learning environment. By leveraging AI to automate
administrative and assessment tasks, educators will be able to spend more
time building relationships with students and cultivating a learning
culture that values curiosity and personal development.
- Collaborators in technology implementation: As more AI tools are
integrated into the classroom, teachers will need to become experts in
these technologies. They will need to know how to use these tools
eectively and ethically and how to approach them in pedagogical terms.
This will require continuous and adaptive training.
- Ongoing Professional Development: Being an educator in an ever-
changing environment will require a commitment to continuous
professional learning. Teachers will need to keep up with new
technologies, methodologies and pedagogical approaches in order to
make the most of the opportunities oered by AI.
- Ethics and responsibility: With the integration of AI also come important
ethical considerations. Educators will need to address how student data is
used, ensuring that privacy and security are respected. At the same time,
they will need to instruct students about the responsible use of technology
in an increasingly digital world.
In general, the role of the teacher will evolve, becoming a guide and mentor
who fosters an inclusive learning environment adapted to the needs of each
student. To meet these changes, it will be crucial for educators to be well prepared
and commied to their professional and ethical development in an ever-evolving
world. The incorporation of articial intelligence (AI) into teaching and learning
has brought about a signicant change in the way education is approached. This
technological paradigm, although it has brought with it endless benets, also
38
presents contradictions that must be considered to maximize its potential in the
educational eld (George & Wooden, 2023).
AI allows educational content to be adapted to the needs and learning
rhythms of each student. Through advanced algorithms and data analysis, areas
of strength and weakness can be identied, thus oering materials and activities
that are tailored to individual capabilities. Not only does this improve learning
eectiveness, but it also increases student motivation and engagement.
AI-powered technology gives educators and students access to a vast array of
online resources, from learning platforms to specic apps that make it easy to
acquire new knowledge. This access democratizes education, allowing more
people, regardless of their geographical location or economic situation, to benet
from quality education.
AI can automate numerous administrative tasks, from managing enrollments
to evaluating exams. This allows educators to spend more time on eective
teaching and accompanying students, rather than focusing on bureaucratic tasks.
By optimizing these processes, school organization is improved and the
workload for teachers is reduced.
2.4.3 AI scenario in the sociocultural context
- Inequalities in Access to Technology: Despite eorts to democratize access to
education, there is still a signicant digital divide that aects many students.
Those who lack proper devices or a reliable internet connection may be left at a
disadvantage, preventing them from beneting from AI-powered tools.
- Technology Dependency: There is a risk that both educators and students will
become overly reliant on technology and AI tools, neglecting fundamental skills
such as critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills without the
support of technology. Education must balance technological integration with
the development of essential skills.
- Ethical and Privacy Issues: The use of AI in education raises critical questions
about data privacy and the ethics of data handling. It is crucial that clear and
strict regulations are put in place to protect students' personal information and
ensure that technology is used responsibly and transparently.
- Resistance to Change: The implementation of AI-based educational practices
may encounter resistance from educators and administrators who are
accustomed to traditional methods. Adequate training and support needs to be
39
provided to ease the transition and help educators adapt to new tools and
approaches.
The impact of articial intelligence on education is being dened as we
continue to explore its potential to transform education management. While the
benets are indisputable, it is essential to approach technological paradigms
seriously and proactively. The key to a successful educational future lies in
nding a balance between incorporating advanced technologies and preserving
the essential values of education. The intersection of humanities and technology
can enrich the educational experience. Fostering interdisciplinary projects that
use AI while exploring ethical, social, and cultural aspects can prepare students
for a world increasingly inuenced by technology (Bahroun et al., 2023).
Education should not be limited to the transmission of knowledge or the
execution of automated tasks. An integrated approach should be taken that
fosters not only academic learning, but also students' emotional and social
development. Integrating AI into a framework that prioritizes the holistic well-
being of the student will be essential.
So, articial intelligence has the potential to transform education in
profound ways. It is the responsibility of all those involved in the educational
process – politicians, educators, parents and students – to work together to
maximize the benets. Only in this way can we ensure that the education of the
future is fair, inclusive and enriching for all.

Chapter III
Research in education with articial intelligence:
Interactive dialogic learning
Education is a fundamental pillar in the development of modern societies,
and educational research plays a crucial role in the improvement and evolution
of teaching and learning methods. As technology advances, the intersection
between education and articial intelligence (AI) has become increasingly
relevant, oering new opportunities to personalize the educational experience
and optimize the learning process. The authors explore the relationship between
educational research and articial intelligence, focusing on the current context
and the importance of AI in this eld.
The purpose of educational research is to generate knowledge that allows
improving teaching and learning processes. Since its inception, it has focused on
aspects such as pedagogy, didactics and the psychology of learning.
Traditionally, educational researchers have used qualitative and quantitative
methods to collect data and analyze it with the goal of understanding how
students learn, which teaching strategies are most eective, and how more
inclusive and accessible learning environments can be designed (Renjith et al.,
2021).
Today, educational research is facing new challenges and opportunities,
driven by globalization, digitalization, and technological advancement.
Traditional educational models are no longer sucient to address the diversity
of student needs and the rapid evolution of knowledge. It is therefore essential
that researchers adopt innovative approaches that integrate technological tools
that facilitate data collection and analysis, while promoting eective pedagogical
practices.
Articial intelligence is emerging as one of these innovative tools,
transforming the way educational research is conducted. AI techniques, such as
machine learning and natural language processing, allow researchers to analyze
large volumes of data more eciently and eectively, leading to more accurate
and useful ndings about learning and teaching.
Below are some of the reasons why articial intelligence is critical in the
context of educational research:
41
- Real-time data analysis: AI allows researchers and educators to analyze
data in real-time, providing a deeper understanding of how students are
performing in the classroom. By using AI algorithms, researchers can
detect paerns in student behavior and performance, facilitating quick
and eective interventions to address learning problems before they
become signicant obstacles.
- Eciency in data collection: Historically, data collection in educational
research has been a laborious process and often limited by time and
resource constraints. However, AI tools can automate much of this
process, allowing researchers to gain valuable insights more quickly and
accurately. This in turn promotes more agile and evidence-based research.
- Development of new pedagogical methods: The incorporation of AI in
education also stimulates innovation in pedagogical practice. Educators
can experiment with new teaching strategies and evaluate their
eectiveness using AI-powered tools, enabling an evidence-based
approach to the development of educational methodologies.
By addressing the limitations of traditional approaches and providing new
opportunities to personalize learning, AI is paving the way to a future where
education is more accessible, inclusive, and eective. As we continue to explore
the intersection of education and technology, it is critical that thorough research
is conducted that not only examines the benets of AI, but also addresses the
ethical and equity concerns associated with its implementation in educational
contexts.
3.1 Historical context of Articial Intelligence in Education
Since its inception, articial intelligence has sought to improve teaching
and learning, creating tools that can personalize education and meet the needs of
each student. The rst experiments in the eld of articial intelligence date back
to the 1950s. One of the pioneers in this eld was the mathematician and
computer scientist Alan Turing, who proposed that machines could think and
learn like humans. In retrospect, the use of articial intelligence in education
didn't emerge until the 1970s, when researchers began exploring the possibility
of creating systems that could adapt to student learning. One of the rst
educational programs to use the principles of articial intelligence was the
Intelligent Teaching System (ITS) program. These systems are designed to
provide students with personalized instruction, analyze their responses, and
tailor content to their needs.
42
Then in the 80s articial intelligence began to be integrated more widely
into educational practices, these programs allow evaluation and provide
interactive exercises so that students can practice and receive immediate
feedback on their performance. But these early eorts also encountered
problems. The limitations of computer technology at the time made it dicult to
develop more advanced systems and they were eectively adapted to dierent
learning styles.
3.1.1 Technological evolution
From the 90s onwards, the evolution of technology has profoundly
transformed the eld of articial intelligence in education. With the advent of the
Internet and the increase in data processing capacity, access to an unmatched
amount of information and educational resources was facilitated. This allowed
researchers to create more complex AI systems that could analyze large volumes
of data and continuously improve their eciency.
These techniques allow AI systems to not only perform specic tasks, but
also learn from the data they collect. In education, this has led to the creation of
adaptive learning platforms that personalize the learning experience for each
student, adjusting content and activities based on their performance and
preferences. The rise of mobile technologies and access to smart devices has also
played a crucial role in this evolution. Students can now access educational apps
that use AI to deliver interactive learning experiences anywhere, anytime. For
example, math and language apps that use chatbots allow students to practice
and receive instant assistance, making them more active in their learning process
(Grassini, 2023).
Also, data analysis has become an integral part of modern education.
Educational institutions use predictive analytics tools to monitor student
performance, identify paerns, and predict potential problems before they occur.
Not only does this help educators personalize their approach, but it also
contributes to the creation of more inclusive learning experiences.
From the rst tutoring systems to today's personalized learning platforms,
technology continues to transform the way we teach and learn. As we move into
the future, it is essential to continue to explore and take advantage of the
opportunities that articial intelligence oers to improve education and respond
to the needs of students in an ever-changing world. In this sense, from adaptive
43
learning platforms to educational data analysis, AI is impacting the way content
is taught and learned.
3.1.2 Adaptive learning platforms
These platforms use AI algorithms to analyze student performance in real-
time and adjust educational content according to their individual needs. This
allows for a personalization of learning, where each student progresses at their
own pace and according to their previous skills and knowledge.
Adaptive learning systems can:
- Identify areas of diculty and oer specic exercises to improve student
performance.
- Provide instant feedback and recommendations on additional resources
to facilitate learning.
- Analyze paerns of student behavior and achievement, allowing
educators to beer understand the needs of their students.
- Numerous studies have shown that this approach not only improves
content comprehension and retention, but also increases student
motivation by making the learning process more relevant and engaging.
These systems are designed to interact with students, providing real-time
help and support. Through chatbots and natural language processing
technologies, virtual assistants can answer questions, clarify concepts, and guide
students in their learning.
Educational institutions are collecting a wealth of data on student
performance, class engagement, and other key metrics. Using AI-powered data
analysis techniques, these institutions can extract valuable insights that allow
them to improve teaching and learning.
Applications of education data analytics include:
- Identifying trends in student performance, helping to spot issues before
they become academic crises.
- Segmentation of students according to their characteristics and needs,
which allows the development of proactive and personalized
interventions.
- Evaluating the impact of educational programs and methodologies,
informing future decisions about curriculum and other academic areas.
44
Today's applications of articial intelligence in education are reshaping
teaching and learning in innovative and eective ways. From platforms that
tailor learning to individual student needs, to virtual tutors that oer constant
support and data analysis that inform educational decisions, AI is becoming an
indispensable tool in education. Its integration into classrooms promises not only
to enrich the learning experience, but also to beer equip students to face the
transition from face-to-face learning to distance learning.
Through advanced algorithms and data analytics, adaptive learning
platforms can assess students' individual skills and needs, adjusting the content
and pace of learning based on their progress. This is especially valuable in
environments where students have dierent learning styles and developmental
paces. Some of the enhancements to personalized learning include:
- Adaptive content: Educational apps use AI to tailor learning resources to
each student's specic abilities. Not only does this help keep students
engaged, but it also maximizes learning eectiveness as students don't feel
overwhelmed or undervalued.
- Immediate feedback: Through continuous data collection, AI systems can
provide instant feedback on student performance. This allows learners to
identify areas for improvement quickly, facilitating a proactive approach
to their education.
- Diculty detection: AI can analyze paerns of behavior and performance,
identifying students who may be struggling with certain concepts. This
way, educators can intervene early and oer the necessary support. It is
critical to balance the use of technology with the human touch that
educators can provide (humanization of knowledge).
3.1.3 Ethical and privacy concerns and inequalities in technology
management
The use of AI in education also raises important ethical and privacy
questions. AI systems often require large amounts of personal data to optimize
their operation. This raises concerns about how this data is collected, stored, and
used. Some of the ethical concerns include:
- Student privacy: The collection of sensitive student data can expose
students to risk, especially if institutions do not implement adequate data
protection measures. Condentiality and information security must be
prioritized to maintain the trust of students and their families.
45
- Bias in algorithms: AI can perpetuate existing biases if not carefully
designed. If algorithms are trained on data that reects cultural or social
biases, this can result in unfair treatment of certain groups of students,
aecting their access and educational opportunities.
- Dehumanization of learning: There is a risk that over-reliance on AI in
education will lead to a less human learning experience. The relationship
between educators and students is a critical component that cannot be
replaced by technology. Therefore, it is vital to nd ways to integrate AI
in ways that complement, rather than replace, social and emotional
interaction in the classroom.
Despite the promises of AI in education, one of the most pressing concerns is
inequality in access to technology. Not all students and schools have the same
opportunities to benet from AI tools, which can lead to disparities in learning.
Some factors that contribute to this inequality include:
- Internet access: In many places, especially in rural and disadvantaged
communities, access to high-quality internet is still an issue. Without a
reliable connection, using online learning platforms and AI-based
resources becomes unfeasible.
- Training and training: Eective implementation of AI in education
requires not only hardware and software, but also training for educators.
Teachers must be prepared to integrate technology into their teaching
eciently, which is not always possible in contexts with limited resources.
Emerging technological innovations and new research methodologies oer a
fertile eld not only to improve the eectiveness of learning, but also to explore
how AI can leverage ethical and equitable aspects in educational institutions and
are revolutionizing the way education and educational research is conducted
(Walter, 2024). Some of the most promising trends include:
- Deep Learning and Neural Networks: These AI techniques are improving
the ability to personalize learning. As deep learning algorithms become
more sophisticated, they have the potential to analyze not only a student's
performance, but also their behavioral and emotional paerns during the
learning process. This allows for the creation of highly personalized
learning environments that are tailored to each student's individual needs.
- Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR): These technologies
allow for the creation of immersive learning experiences. The combination
of AI with AR and VR can make it easier to simulate educational
46
environments that are inaccessible in real life. For example, in physician
training, students can practice surgical procedures in a virtual
environment where errors have no real consequences.
- Predictive Analytics: This technique is being used to anticipate student
performance and detect potential problems before they become signicant
obstacles. By leveraging large volumes of educational data, institutions
can identify factors that aect academic success and deliver timely
interventions.
- Recommendation Systems: Based on student preferences and behavior,
these systems can help guide students toward more relevant and
personalized educational resources. Not only does this increase the
eectiveness of learning, but it also motivates students to explore areas of
interest that they might not have considered.
3.2 Research methodologies with the application of articial
intelligence
The implementation of AI in educational research is also driving the
evolution of innovative methodologies that improve the validity and replicability
of studies in this eld:
- Mixed methodologies: The combination of qualitative and quantitative
approaches allows researchers to obtain a more complete view of
educational problems. Using AI tools to analyze large quantitative
datasets along with interviews and focus groups can oer unique insights
on how to improve teaching and learning.
- Data-driven research: With the increase in data collection through
learning platforms, researchers have access to unprecedented insights into
student behavior. By applying data mining techniques and statistical
analysis, they can uncover paerns and correlations that might go
unnoticed in traditional studies.
- Longitudinal studies: AI allows for long-term monitoring of students'
educational development, combining performance data with contextual
information from their family and social environment. This provides a
robust framework for understanding the inuence of multiple factors on
learning over time.
- Agile experimentation: The ability to quickly test dierent educational
approaches and measure their eectiveness through AI algorithms allows
for unprecedented adaptability in educational research. Real-time data
47
helps adjust strategies and provide immediate feedback to educators and
students.
In this context, future research in the eld of education with articial
intelligence is full of potential. Emerging technological innovations and new
research methodologies not only promise to improve educational practices, but
also oer the opportunity to address historical problems of inequity and access
in education. However, it is crucial that these opportunities are addressed with
due regard to ethics and privacy, ensuring that the integration of AI in education
is inclusive and benets all students. As we move forward, the education
community will need to collaborate to develop a robust framework that guides
the use of AI responsibly and sustainably.
After the COVID-19 pandemic, we have witnessed a signicant shift in how
educational research is conducted and how technology is applied in the
classroom. AI's ability to process large volumes of data, as well as its ability to
learn and adapt to various situations and learning styles, has opened up new
horizons for educators and students alike (Pantelimon et al., 2021).
3.3 Ethical Principles in Scientic Research
Scientic research is based on the search for knowledge and the generation
of information that can benet society. This search cannot be carried out without
considering the ethical principles that guide research practice. These principles
are fundamental to guarantee respect for the rights and dignity of the
participants, as well as to promote integrity and responsibility in the production
and dissemination of knowledge.
Respect for people is a principle that recognizes the innate dignity of each
individual and their right to decide about their own life and body. In the context
of scientic research, this translates into the need to obtain informed consent
from all participants before any study is conducted. This implies that researchers
must provide clear and understandable information about the study's objective,
procedures, potential risks and benets, as well as their right to withdraw at any
time without negative repercussions:
- Informed Consent: It is essential that participants understand the nature
of the research and the use that will be made of the data collected. This not
only ensures the protection of individuals, but also promotes transparency
in the investigative process.
48
- Privacy and Condentiality: Likewise, the privacy of the participants must
be respected, ensuring that their data is handled condentially and that
their identity is not revealed without their explicit consent. The ethical
handling of information is crucial to maintain trust between researchers
and the community.
The principles of benecence and justice are interrelated and essential to
ethical practice in research. Charity refers to the obligation to maximize benets
and minimize risks to participants. This implies a commitment on the part of
researchers to carry out studies that provide social value and that are conducted
responsibly:
- Risk-Benet Assessment: Before starting a study, it is critical to conduct a
thorough assessment of the potential risks and benets. Researchers
should ensure that the intended benets justify any potential harm or
discomfort that participants may experience.
Justice, on the other hand, refers to the equitable distribution of the benets
and burdens of research. It is imperative that all groups, especially those who
have historically been underrepresented or marginalized, have the opportunity
to participate in and benet from research. This means that:
- Equal Access: Participant selections must be conducted in a fair and
equitable manner, avoiding any form of discrimination or exploitation.
Scientic integrity is another fundamental pillar in ethical research. This
principle refers to honesty in the collection, analysis, and presentation of data.
Researchers have a responsibility to report their ndings accurately and
transparently, avoiding any form of misrepresentation:
- Transparency in Publication: Publishing results, even those that are
negative or do not meet initial expectations, is crucial for the advancement
of scientic knowledge. This helps to avoid duplication of eort and to
build a more robust body of knowledge.
- Prevention of Plagiarism and Fraud: Maintaining high standards of
integrity also involves being respectful of the work of others, properly
citing sources and avoiding plagiarism. The scientic community is
valued for its ability to collaborate and develop knowledge within a
framework of respect and ethics.
49
Respect for people, benecence and justice, and scientic integrity are
essential for the development of ethical and reliable research, which not only
benets the scientic community, but, more importantly, respects and protects
the individuals who participate in it.
3.4 Context and denition of interactive dialogic learning
Throughout history, dialogue has been a central tool in the transmission
of knowledge and in the construction of mutual understanding. The idea of
dialogic learning is nourished by philosophical and psychological theories, such
as those proposed by thinkers such as Freire and Bakhtin, who highlighted the
importance of social interaction in the learning process. Interactive dialogic
learning is based on the premise that knowledge is not something that is
passively transferred from an educator to a learner, but is co-constructed through
the exchange of ideas, perspectives, and experiences (Zhukova et al., 2022).
This approach focuses on creating spaces in which all participants can
express their thoughts, question concepts, and build new understandings in an
environment of respect and collaboration. Through dialogue, students not only
acquire information, but also develop critical skills such as argumentation, active
listening, and empathy.
In addition, interactive dialogic learning manifests itself in a variety of
ways, from small group discussions to open forums in which everyone has a
voice. In this sense, the use of digital technologies has also facilitated the
expansion of these practices, allowing students from dierent contexts and
cultures to interact and learn from each other through online platforms.
Education faces constant challenges in the twenty-rst century, from the need
to prepare students for an ever-changing world of work to the demand for skills
that allow them to adapt and collaborate in a diverse environment. In this
framework, interactive dialogic learning is presented as an eective response to
these demands.
- Promotion of active participation: Unlike traditional teaching models,
where the teacher is the only protagonist, dialogic learning invites
students to be actively involved in their learning process. This gives them
greater autonomy and allows them to assume a leading role, which results
in greater motivation and commitment to learning.
- Development of key competencies: Communication skills, teamwork
and critical thinking are vital for personal and professional development.
50
Interactive dialogic learning contributes to the formation of these
competencies by promoting an environment where the expression of ideas
and the joint construction of knowledge are valued.
- Inclusion and diversity: In an increasingly multicultural world, it is
crucial that educational practices are inclusive and respect diversity.
Dialogue allows dierent voices and perspectives to be heard, which not
only enriches the learning process, but also fosters respect and tolerance
among students.
- Preparation for democratic life: Education should not only focus on the
acquisition of knowledge, but also on the formation of responsible and
commied citizens. Interactive dialogic learning promotes skills that are
fundamental for active participation in a democratic society, such as the
ability to debate, argue, and reach consensus.
- Adaptation to new technologies: The incorporation of technological tools
in interactive dialogic learning allows expanding the possibilities of
communication and collaboration. Digital platforms oer spaces for the
exchange of ideas and collaborative work, which can further enrich
educational experiences.
Commonly, interactive dialogic learning is presented as an educational
approach that not only responds to the needs of the current context, but also
oers the foundations for a more meaningful, inclusive and transformative
education. Through dialogue and interaction, the aim is to generate learning that
transcends the mere memorization of content, becoming an enriching experience
for all participants.
3.4.1 Fundamentals of Interactive Dialogic Learning
Interactive dialogic learning is a pedagogical approach that relies on
interaction and dialogue among participants as fundamental methods for
acquiring knowledge. To deeply understand this approach, it is essential to
explore the theories of learning that underpin it, the basic principles that govern
it, and how they compare to other learning methods (Nouri, 2014).
Interactive dialogic learning is based on various theories of learning that
highlight the importance of social interaction in the educational process. Some of
the most relevant theories include:
• Constructivism: Proposed by theorists such as Jean Piaget and Lev
Vygotsky, constructivism suggests that individuals construct their own
51
knowledge through experiences and interaction with others. Vygotsky, in
particular, emphasizes the role of language and culture, stating that
learning occurs in a social context and that interaction with others is key
to developing new skills and concepts.
• Socio-cultural theory: This theory, also formulated by Vygotsky, focuses
on how the social and cultural environment inuences learning.
Interaction with peers and educators in a cordial and collaborative
environment enriches learning, promoting a joint construction of
knowledge.
• Theory of multiple intelligences: Howard Gardner proposed that there
are dierent types of intelligence, implying that students can learn in a
variety of ways. Interactive dialogic learning allows all learning styles to
be reected in an environment where dierent voices and perspectives are
valued.
These theories illuminate the importance of dialogue and collaboration,
highlighting that learning is not an individual process, but a phenomenon that is
enriched by sharing ideas, questions, and solutions. There are several principles
that serve as the foundation of interactive dialogic learning, which are essential
for its correct implementation in the classroom:
• Active participation: Learners are active participants in their learning
process. They are encouraged to express their ideas and opinions, which
encourages greater emotional and intellectual involvement in the content.
• Joint construction of knowledge: Learning is considered a collective
process where all participants contribute, generating new understandings
and meanings through the exchange of ideas.
• Diversity of perspectives: Dialogue allows for the inclusion of multiple
points of view, which enriches learning. This principle is fundamental for
the development of critical thinking, since students must listen, reect and
evaluate dierent arguments.
• Constructive feedback: Interaction involves giving and receiving
constructive criticism. This helps students improve their understanding
and skills, promoting an environment where error is not feared, but
valued as part of the learning process.
52
• Contextualization of knowledge: This principle focuses on connecting
educational content with the reality and experiences of students. Not only
does this facilitate a beer understanding of the content, but it also
motivates students by seeing the relevance of what they are learning.
3.4.2 Comparison with other learning methods
When comparing interactive dialogic learning with other pedagogical
methods, signicant dierences can be observed:
• Traditional teaching methods: In these methods, the teacher is the central
gure and knowledge is transferred in a unidirectional way, from the
educator to the students. Unlike dialogic learning, student participation is
limited and they are expected to hear and memorize information. This can
lead to supercial learning, in which students are passive and unengaged.
• Collaborative learning: Emphasizes interaction and teamwork, often
focusing on specic tasks and small groups. In contrast, interactive
dialogic learning integrates greater openness to dierent topics and a
space for each voice to be heard in the learning process, creating a more
inclusive environment.
• Project-based learning: This approach promotes research and problem-
solving through team projects. While it may seem similar, interactive
dialogic learning focuses more on the process of ongoing dialogue, while
project-based learning can border dialogue by focusing more on the end
results.
The fundamentals of interactive dialogic learning are rooted in theories that
highlight the importance of social interaction, various principles that encourage
active learning, and a comparison that shows its advantages over traditional
methods and other pedagogical approaches (Chi, 2009). Its implementation not
only transforms the classroom into an enriching learning space, but also prepares
students for a world that values communication and collaboration.
3.4.3 Benets of Interactive Dialogic Learning and Development of
Communication Skills
Interactive dialogic learning has become one of the most valued
methodologies within contemporary educational environments, not only for its
focus on content, but also for the multiple benets it oers to students. Through
dialogue and interaction, students have the opportunity to express themselves,
53
listen to their peers, and reect on dierent points of view. This dialogic
environment promotes the practice of verbal and non-verbal communication,
facilitating the development of a series of essential competencies, such as:
• Speaking: Students learn to articulate their ideas clearly, using
appropriate vocabulary and building strong arguments to defend their
position.
• Active Listening: The methodology encourages aention and respect for
the opinions of others, reinforcing the ability to actively listen and ask
constructive questions.
• Conict Management: Through dialogue, students learn to handle
disagreements and conicts constructively, developing negotiation and
mediation skills.
By strengthening these communication skills, students are prepared not only
for academics, but also for their personal and professional lives, where eective
communication is critical.
3.4.4 Promotion of critical thinking
Interactive dialogic learning not only focuses on the transmission of
knowledge, but also stimulates critical thinking among students. Dialogue
becomes a tool to question, reect and deepen the contents. Some of the ways in
which this methodology encourages critical thinking include:
• Questioning: Students learn to ask critical questions and question the
information they receive, promoting analysis and the search for evidence.
• Diverse Perspectives: By interacting with dierent points of view,
students develop the ability to analyze and consider multiple perspectives
before reaching a conclusion, enriching their thinking.
• Reection: Debate and discussion help students reect on their own
beliefs and assumptions, allowing them to develop more autonomous and
grounded thinking.
In this sense, interactive dialogic learning not only contributes to a deeper
understanding of the contents, but also prepares students to address complex
problems in their daily lives, building a critical sense that is essential in today's
society. Another benet of interactive dialogic learning is its ability to promote
the inclusion and active participation of all students. In the traditional education
54
system, some students may feel more isolated or less likely to participate.
However, the dialogic approach seeks to create a safe and welcoming space
where every voice is heard.
• Inclusion of All Students: By structuring activities that encourage
dialogue, you ensure that students of dierent skill levels, personalities,
and cultural backgrounds can contribute. This is especially important in
diverse environments, where it is essential to reconnect and value the
unique experiences of each student.
• Active Participation: Constant interaction allows all students to have the
opportunity to actively participate in their learning. This approach not
only improves their engagement with content, but also increases self-
esteem and condence in their abilities.
• Collaborative Work: Working in small groups or pairs promotes
collaboration among students, creating a sense of community and
belonging within the classroom.
Fostering inclusion and active participation ensures that every student can
benet from the learning process, making education a more equitable and
enriching experience for all. It facilitates the development of communication and
critical skills, but also creates an inclusive environment that encourages all
students to actively participate, these aspects constitute a solid foundation for a
more comprehensive and eective education in the current context (Molina et al.,
2021).

Chapter IV
Ethics in scientic research
Scientic research is an essential pillar of the advancement of human
knowledge, but its practice must be guided by sound ethical principles. These
principles not only protect research participants, but also ensure that the results
are valid and reliable. The principle of autonomy focuses on respect for the
individual decisions of the participants. Each person has the right to make
decisions about their own life and body, which implies that they must be fully
informed about the research in which they are participating. Informed consent is
the concrete manifestation of this principle.
The voluntary nature of participation, emphasizing that participants can
withdraw at any time without penalty. Obtaining informed consent is not just a
formality; It is an ongoing process that must be re-evaluated and maintained
throughout the research. Researchers should be aentive to changes in the
situation of the participants and ensure that they continue to give their consent
freely and voluntarily.
It is especially critical in research involving vulnerable populations, such
as children, the elderly, or those with cognitive disabilities. In these cases,
researchers should work together with guardians or legal representatives,
ensuring that the rights and wishes of the participants are respected (Gordon,
2020). The principles of benecence and nonmalecence are intrinsically related,
charity implies the obligation to maximize prots and minimize harm in
research. Researchers should design their studies in such a way that the risks are
justied by the potential benets that will accrue from them.
On the other hand, the principle of non-malecence refers to the obligation
not to cause intentional harm. This principle underlines the duty of researchers
to avoid any act that may be harmful to participants. To ensure compliance with
these principles, it is essential that researchers conduct risk assessments before
starting their studies. The principle of justice refers to equity in the distribution
of the benets and burdens of research. Researchers must ensure that there are
no specic groups that benet disproportionately or are subjected to unfair or
exploitative practices. This implies that:
56
- The populations selected to participate in the research must be
representative of the general population to which the results will be
applied.
- The benets of research should be available to all participants and not just
those from privileged classes.
- It must be ensured that the vulnerabilities of certain groups are not
exploited but are protected.
Equality is also manifested in access to research. All individuals should have
the opportunity to participate in studies that could improve their health and well-
being, without discrimination on the basis of race, gender, religion, or
socioeconomic status (Togioka et al., 2024). Respect for these ethical principles is
not only a legal obligation, but a moral responsibility that researchers assume
when they dedicate themselves to the pursuit of knowledge. By adhering to these
principles, fairer and more responsible research practices are promoted, which
contribute to the progress of science and the improvement of the quality of life in
society. Scientic research, especially in the elds of biomedicine and social
sciences, is governed by a series of ethical rules and regulations that seek to
protect the dignity, rights, and well-being of participants.
Among the most recognized are the Declaration of Helsinki and the Standards
of Good Clinical Practice (GBPC). These regulations establish frameworks for the
ethical conduct of research and ensure that they are carried out with the utmost
respect for the participants.
4.1 Declaration of Helsinki
The Declaration of Helsinki, adopted by the World Medical Association
(WMA) in 1964, is considered a fundamental pillar in the ethics of medical
research. This standard has been revised on multiple occasions, progressively
incorporating aspects that respond to contemporary ethical challenges (Carlson
et al., 2004). Its main objective is to provide ethical principles that guide research
on human beings and safeguard the rights of participants.
Some of the most salient principles of the Declaration of Helsinki are:
- Respect for persons: The Declaration underscores the importance of
informed consent. Every research participant must provide their consent
freely, informed, and voluntarily, which implies that they must fully
understand the risks, benets, and purpose of the study.
57
- Benecence: Researchers should ensure that the benets of the research
outweigh the potential risks to the participants. This involves a careful
assessment of the consequences of research for both individuals and
society.
- Justice: The equitable distribution of the benets and burden of research
is another of the fundamental premises. No particular group should be
favored or disadvantaged in the selection of participants.
- Transparency: Researchers are required to report any conicts of interest
and their funding, which improves condence in the research process and
the results obtained.
Over the years, the Declaration of Helsinki has been a model to follow for
many legislations and guidelines in the eld of medical research around the
world. Its impact extends to multiple research modalities and its application is
reected in the development of local regulations in dierent countries.
The Good Clinical Practice Standards (GBPC), established by the
International Conference on Harmonization of Technical Requirements for the
Registration of Medicinal Products for Human Use (ICH), are guidelines that
ensure quality and ethics in the conduct of clinical trials (Vijayananthan &
Nawawi, 2008). These standards not only seek to protect the rights of
participants, but also to guarantee the integrity of data and the production of
reliable results:
- Study Design: Clinical trials are required to be designed so that research
objectives and hypotheses are clear and risks to participants are
minimized.
- Supervision and monitoring: It is critical that research is overseen by an
independent ethics commiee and that adequate monitoring is
implemented during all phases of the study.
- Documentation and data archiving: The GBPCs mention the importance
of maintaining detailed and accurate records of all phases of the clinical
trial, allowing for audit and peer review that ensures transparency of
results.
- Informed consent: As in the Declaration of Helsinki, informed consent is
an essential requirement. Each participant should be properly informed
and understand the scope of the study, as well as their rights.
The implementation of the Standards of Good Clinical Practice has
promoted greater standardization of criteria in research at an international level,
58
fostering condence in the results obtained and ethics in the treatment of
participants. These standards are crucial, especially in the context of the
globalization of research, where clinical trials often involve multiple authorities.
In general, both the Declaration of Helsinki and the Standards of Good
Clinical Practice are fundamental for ethical regulation in contemporary scientic
research. These frameworks not only ensure respect for the rights and dignity of
participants, but also promote the integrity and quality of the data obtained,
which is crucial for the advancement of science and medicine.
4.2 Ethical challenges in specic areas of research
Scientic research is constantly evolving and, with it, ethical aspects arise
that require special aention, especially in sensitive areas such as biomedical
research, social sciences and genetic manipulation and biotechnology. Each of
these areas presents its own ethical dilemmas, which must be carefully
considered to ensure that research not only produces knowledge, but also
respects the rights and dignity of human beings and the environment. Biomedical
research is fundamental to the advancement of medicine and public health
(AyanoÄŸlu et al., 2020).
Now, researchers need to make sure that participants fully understand the
potential risks and benets of the studies they are about to get involved in. This
is especially crucial in clinical trials where new drugs or treatments can be tested.
It is essential to ensure that research does not exploit vulnerable groups, i.e. in
the case of clinical trials in developing countries where regulations may be lax.
Here the issue of equity arises, as it is critical that the benets of research are
distributed fairly and that disadvantaged populations are not disproportionately
represented in studies that may not adequately benet those same groups.
In this context, ethics also come into play when considering data privacy.
The collection of medical data is crucial to the advancement of research, but
rigorous measures are often required to protect the condentiality of patient
data. Researchers need to be sensitive to how their studies can inuence the
communities and groups they are researching.
Informed consent is also crucial in this area, but it is even more complex,
as it is often dealing with populations that may not have the same capacity for
understanding, such as minors or people with intellectual disabilities. This raises
the question of how to approach the ethics of consent and when consent from a
legal guardian is required. The ethics of social science research is also questioned
59
by the potential for bias. Researchers need to be alert to their own perceptions
and beliefs, and how these may inuence research. Work in this eld can often
involve observing groups in sensitive situations, raising concerns about
exploitation and misuse of information.
Ethics and deontology in biomedical research, social sciences, and genetic
manipulation are complex and multifaceted. To address these conicts, it is
essential that the scientic community maintains an open dialogue on ethics and
that regulatory frameworks are established to guide research towards
responsible and respectful practices. Only in this way can we advance knowledge
without undermining human dignity and social well-being.
Ethics in scientic research has been the subject of scrutiny throughout
history. As science advances, concerns arise about how research is conducted and
respect for the subjects involved. This section will focus on some of the most
notorious historical scandals involving ethical violations and the lessons learned
from recent cases.
4.3 The future of ethics in scientic research
These innovations, while promising, require a constant re-evaluation of
ethical principles to ensure that scientic progress does not lead to harmful
consequences for society or the environment. Technological innovations, such as
gene editing, biotechnology, and advances in areas such as nanotechnology, have
transformed the way scientic studies are conducted. Some of the main ethical
dilemmas are:
- Genetic manipulation: The possibility of altering the DNA of organisms,
including humans, has opened a wide debate about the limits of what is
ethically acceptable. Through genetic modication, proles of equity,
identity, and unintended consequences on future generations are
examined.
- Privacy and data: With the increasing use of technologies and applications
that collect personal data, there are concerns about privacy protection and
the possibility of this data being used in an abusive manner. Scientic
research must ensure that the use of personal data is consensual and that
the rights of individuals are protected.
- Sustainability and the environment: Technological innovation also
presents trade-os with respect to the impact on the environment. While
new technologies can oer solutions to global problems such as climate
60
change, they can also lead to unsustainable practices that harm the delicate
balance of ecosystems.
To address these emerging ethical scenarios, exible regulatory
frameworks are needed that adapt quickly to ever-changing circumstances.
Research ethics should be reinforced with continuous training for researchers
and policy makers, ensuring that ethical dimensions are always considered in
decision-making.
One of the most revolutionary elds today is articial intelligence (AI). As
AI becomes increasingly integrated into scientic research, there is also a need to
establish clear ethical principles. Some of the ethical dilemmas related to AI
include:
- Transparency and applicability: As AI models become more complex and
less understandable, the question arises of how decisions are made and
what biases may be implicit in these processes. It is crucial that research
uses models that are transparent and provide understandable
explanations for their results.
- Accountability: Running AI-assisted research can lead to ambiguity in
accountability, especially in cases of errors or biases in the results.
Determining who is responsible – the technology developer, the
researcher, or the institution – is critical to ensuring accountability.
- Impact on employment: Automating tasks through AI can aect jobs in
science and other sectors. Research ethics must be extended to consider
how these technologies might aect access to job opportunities, equity,
and
Policies should include diverse perspectives, including those from historically
marginalized groups, to ensure a comprehensive approach. In conclusion, the
future of ethics in scientic research will depend on our ability to adapt to rapid
technological changes and address the ethical faces that arise from them (Roche
et al., 2023). Critical reection on these issues will not only foster responsible
advancement in the eld of science but will also help build a more ethical and
just society in the twenty-rst century.
Fundamental ethical principles, such as autonomy, benecence,
nonmalecence, and justice, become indispensable guides to ensure that science
not only seeks knowledge for knowledge's sake, but does so responsibly and with
respect for the subjects involved and society in general. Reection on ethics in
61
research not only addresses existing regulations, but also considers the broader
implications of scientic advances on human life and the environment.
However, ethical research is essential to maintain public trust in science; An
ethical scandal can have lasting repercussions, ranging from the loss of credibility
of the scientic community to widespread skepticism towards scientic
advances. In the present, we are faced with new and complex ethical questions
that require introspection and meticulous evaluation. Genetic manipulation,
articial intelligence and research in sensitive areas such as mental health or data
privacy are just a few examples that raise deep ethical questions. It is essential
that researchers stop to reect on the impact of their work on people's lives and
society. The key lies in a preventive approach that seeks to anticipate and mitigate
damage before it materializes.
Also, the perspective of multidisciplinary and collaborative research can
enrich the dialogue on these ethical issues. Scientists, philosophers, psychologists
and representatives of civil society have much to contribute to the ethical
discussion. To ensure that research ethics is not merely regulatory compliance,
but is deeply integrated into all phases of research, the following
recommendations are suggested:
- Continuing education: Researchers should participate in ethics training
programs, which include not only existing regulations, but also case
studies and discussions on contemporary ethical trade-os.
- Promoting ethical culture: Institutions should foster an environment that
values and promotes ethics, where researchers feel free to raise ethical
concerns without fear of repercussions.
- Active and diverse ethics commiees: Ethics commiees should be
multidisciplinary and have members who can bring dierent
perspectives. This will allow for a more complete evaluation of research
protocols, considering both scientic and human aspects.
- Involve the community: The participation of interest groups and the
community in research is essential. Not only does it improve the quality
of studies, but it also helps to legitimise the results and increase public
trust in science.
- Adaptive ethical assessments: Given the speed with which science is
advancing, assessment frameworks must be established that are exible
enough to adapt to new technologies and research methods.
62
- Transparency: Transparency in research processes, the publication of
methodologies and results, as well as the disclosure of conicts of interest,
are essential to maintain society's trust in science.
Ethics in scientic research requires constant and deliberate aention. It is a
shared commitment between researchers, regulators and society to ensure that
the advancement of knowledge is carried out in a responsible and fair manner.
Only through this joint eort will it be possible to build a scientic future that is
in harmony with the human and ethical values that govern our society.
Today, technology has advanced at an unprecedented speed. This dizzying
growth has transformed the way we live, work and relate to each other.
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are one of the clearest
examples of how research in science and technology aects people's daily lives.
Digital platforms, social media and collaborative tools allow immediate access to
a vast ocean of information, which has redened the way we learn and
communicate.
Research in cybersecurity and digital ethics has become especially relevant,
given the need to protect users' privacy and personal information. Likewise,
articial intelligence and automation are revolutionizing various sectors, from
manufacturing to health services, but they also bring with them challenges such
as labor obsolescence and misinformation (Al Kuwaiti et al., 2023).
4.4 Research as a driver of development
Research in science and technology not only drives the advancement of
knowledge but is also an engine of economic development. Countries that invest
signicantly in research and development (R+D) tend to experience higher
growth and competitiveness. According to UNESCO reports, those that allocate
a high proportion of their GDP to this area nd beer opportunities for
innovation, which in turn generate new companies, jobs and a more robust
economy.
However, the gap in investment in R+D between developed and
developing countries is notable. It is crucial that governments and institutions
prioritize research as a development strategy. Encouraging science and
technology education from childhood, promoting collaboration between
universities and companies, and establishing policies that support research are
necessary steps to level the playing eld.
63
Research in science and technology is an open door to a future full of
possibilities. With the commitment of scientists, researchers, eective policies,
and a well-informed citizenry, we will be able not only to face today's challenges,
but also to build a more sustainable and equitable world. Continuous exploration
and insatiable curiosity are the engines that drive progress, making investment
in science and technology an inescapable priority for the societies of the future.
Thanks to these eorts, signicant advances have been generated that have
transformed our lives, promoting not only economic growth, but also the
improvement in people's quality of life. This section will focus on recent
technological developments and their impact on society.
In the post-Covid-19 era, research has allowed for rapid evolution in
various technological areas. Some of the most notable developments include:
- Biotechnology: Biotechnology, which combines biology and technology,
has had a notable impact on medicine and agriculture. Innovations such
as CRISPR gene editing have opened new frontiers in the treatment of
diseases and in the creation of more resistant crops. These technologies
make it possible to address complex problems such as hunger and
hereditary diseases.
- Renewable energy: Research into renewable energy has contributed to the
creation of more ecient and accessible technologies. Solar and wind
energy have advanced to the point of being competitive with fossil fuels
in terms of cost and eciency. This not only helps combat climate change,
but also promotes energy independence for countries.
- Information and communication technologies (ICT): With the rise of the
internet and digitalization, ICTs have changed the way we communicate,
work, and learn. Research into the 5G network and the next generation of
the Internet has enabled faster and more reliable connectivity, favoring the
development of new applications and services.
These advances are not only the result of creativity and innovation, but also
of collaboration between scientists, engineers, and companies. Investment in
research and development (R+D) is therefore essential to maintain and promote
these innovations. The impact of these technological advances on society is
profound and multifaceted. Among the main aected areas, the following stand
out:
- Health: Advances in biotechnology and medicine have allowed the
development of personalized treatments, improved the eectiveness of
64
treatments and reduced side eects. In addition, vaccine research has been
crucial in facing pandemics, as evidenced by the rapid creation of COVID-
19 vaccines, which have saved millions of lives.
- Education: The digitalization of education has democratized access to
knowledge. Online learning platforms, supported by research in
pedagogy and technology, have made it easier for students from dierent
parts of the world to access educational quality that was previously
unthinkable. This educational transformation must continue to evolve to
adapt to the needs of the 21st century.
- Economy: Technology has enabled the creation of new industries and jobs,
stimulating economic growth. Technology-based startups have
proliferated, from delivery apps to remote work platforms, contributing
to the diversication of labor markets.
- Daily life: The incorporation of technology into daily life has improved the
quality of life. From smart appliances to mobile apps that make it easier to
manage personal time and resources, technological advancements are
enabling people to live more comfortable and ecient lives.
For this reason, it is important to mention that the impact of research in
science and technology also entails new teaching-learning schemes. Ethical
questions, particularly in areas such as AI and biotechnology, require careful
aention to ensure that innovations are used responsibly and equitably. Research
in science and technology is not only vital for technical advances, but also plays
a critical role in building a more sustainable and equitable future. Collaboration
across sectors, as well as continued support for research, will be essential to
further harness the transformative potential of these disciplines.
4.5 Scientic Research Methodologies
Scientic research is a systematic and methodical process that aims to
generate knowledge through observation, experimentation, and analysis.
Scientic research methodologies are critical, as they determine how a hypothesis
is posed, data is collected, and the results are analyzed (Barroga & Matanguihan,
2022). There are two methodological approaches: quantitative and qualitative
methods, each with distinctive characteristics and applications in dierent elds.
In addition, interdisciplinarity has become a crucial element in modern research,
allowing diverse perspectives to be integrated in the search for innovative
solutions.
65
Quantitative methods focus on the collection and analysis of numerical
data to understand phenomena and establish relationships between variables.
These methods are particularly useful when seeking to generalize results from
representative samples and require precision in estimates. Some characteristics
and processes associated with quantitative methods include:
- Experimental Design: In this approach, independent variables are
manipulated to observe their eects on dependent variables. This allows
us to establish cause-and-eect relationships.
- Surveys and Questionnaires: Surveys are a common tool in quantitative
research, as they allow data to be collected from a large number of subjects
in a structured way. The questions can be multiple-choice, Likert scales,
among others, facilitating statistical analysis.
- Statistical Analysis: Once the data is collected, statistical techniques are
used to interpret the results. This includes measures of central tendency,
variability, regressions, and analysis of variance (ANOVA), among others.
- Validity and Reliability: Quantitative methods strive to be valid and
reliable. Validity refers to the ability of the study to measure what it
purports to measure, while reliability refers to the consistency of results
over time.
Quantitative methods are widely used in disciplines such as psychology,
sociology, education, and health, providing robust empirical evidence that can
inuence policies and practices.
Unlike quantitative methods, qualitative methods seek to understand
phenomena in depth through the collection of non-numerical data. It is ideal for
exploring experiences, perceptions, and meanings that people aribute to certain
events or situations. Some key aspects of qualitative methods are:
- In-Depth Interviews: This technique allows researchers to gain a detailed
understanding of the participant's perspective. The interviews are exible
and can be adapted to the interviewee's answers, allowing clarications
and deepening of the topics of interest.
- Focus Groups: A group of people meets to discuss a specic topic guided
by a moderator. This encourages interaction and allows a variety of
opinions and experiences to be explored.
- Content Analysis: It focuses on identifying paerns and themes in texts,
speeches, or any type of content. This technique is vital for deciphering
underlying meanings and tendencies in communication.
66
- Participant Observation: In this technique, the researcher engages in the
study environment, observing as he or she participates. This provides a
richer and more contextualized vision of social reality.
Qualitative methods are essential in elds such as anthropology, sociology,
education, and health, where understanding the human experience is critical.
4.5.1 Interdisciplinarity in Research
Interdisciplinarity is an approach that combines knowledge and methods
from dierent disciplines to address complex problems that cannot be solved by
a single area of study. This multidimensional approach has gained great
relevance in current scientic research for several reasons:
- Comprehensive approach: It allows a more complete understanding of the
phenomena, integrating various perspectives and methodologies.
- Innovation: The combination of dierent disciplines can produce new
ideas and innovative solutions, which is essential in an ever-changing
world.
- Collaboration: It encourages collaborative work between researchers from
dierent areas, creating a dialogue that enriches knowledge and
methodological approaches.
In this line, scientic research methodologies, whether quantitative or
qualitative, and the interdisciplinary approach are key tools in the search for
knowledge and solutions to the problems facing society. The integration of these
methodologies allows for a richer and more diverse exploration of the world
around us and contributes signicantly to the advancement of science and
technology. Science and technology have become fundamental pillars of human
development, oering solutions to complex problems and improving people's
quality of life (Bryda & Costa, 2023).
Sustainable innovation refers to the development of technologies and
practices that meet present needs without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs. This concept has become increasingly
relevant in a world facing problems such as climate change, resource scarcity,
and environmental pollution. The search for sustainable solutions implies a
change in thinking in the way technologies are conceived and developed. Some
of the key strategies in this area are:
67
- Renewable energy: The transition to clean energy sources, such as solar
and wind, is crucial to reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Innovations in
energy storage and energy eciency also play an important role in this
transition.
- Circular economy: This approach promotes the reduction, reuse and
recycling of materials, thus minimizing waste and the exploitation of
natural resources. Companies are beginning to adopt business models that
integrate circular economy principles into their production and
consumption.
- Sustainable agriculture: With the increase in the world's population, it is
critical to develop agricultural practices that maximize food production
without causing signicant damage to the environment. Biotechnology
and agroecology are being used to make agriculture more ecient and
sustainable.
Resistance to change, lack of funding, and lack of adequate government
policies are just some of the situations that need to be addressed. It is essential
that governments, businesses and civil society work together to foster an
environment that is conducive to sustainable innovation (Fallah et al., 2022).
Research ethics is a critical component that is often overlooked in scientic and
technological development. As science advances, new questions and concerns
arise about the responsible use of technology and the impact of scientic studies
on society. Some of the most important ethical aspects to consider include:
- Informed consent: In the eld of biomedical research, it is crucial to ensure
that study participants are fully informed about the risks and benets
before giving consent. A lack of transparency can lead to the exploitation
of vulnerable individuals and communities.
- Privacy and personal data: With the rise of digital technologies and the
collection of large volumes of data, privacy protection has become a
central concern. Research must ensure that individual rights are respected,
and that data is used ethically and securely.
- Inclusive approaches: It is essential that research considers diversity and
seeks to include dierent cultural and social perspectives. The exclusion
of certain groups can lead to biases in outcomes and the perpetuation of
inequalities.
In addition, research ethics is not limited to the aforementioned aspects. It
also covers issues related to the social responsibility of scientists and technology
68
companies, as well as how innovations aect ecosystems and communities.
Research ethics requires proper regulation, as well as active engagement by
researchers and technology developers to ensure that their work contributes
positively to society. Education in research ethics is vital to preparing the next
generation of scientists and technologists to navigate these complex dilemmas.
Therefore, sustainable innovation and ethics in research are two of the most
important parameters facing science and technology today. Collaboration across
dierent sectors and disciplines, coupled with a strong commitment to
sustainability and ethics, is essential to address these challenges eectively and
build a brighter future for all.
4.5.2 Social responsibility in research
Scientic research is a fundamental pillar of modernity, and its social
impact is undeniable. Despite the increase in social responsibility in research, it
is an urgent need in an increasingly interconnected world. This approach not
only promotes the well-being of society, but also contributes to environmental
sustainability and equitable social development. In this context, it is necessary to
explore how research can be oriented towards the common good and how
sustainability and responsibility are key elements in this process (Haferkamp &
Smelser, 1992).
Research for the common good refers to those initiatives that seek to
generate knowledge and solutions to problems that aect society as a whole. This
type of research should not be seen only as an instrument for generating
economic gains, but as a tool at the service of humanity. Therefore, the social
impact of research must be measured not only in terms of its contribution to
scientic progress, but also in terms of how it benets diverse communities.
Sustainability has become an unavoidable concept in contemporary
research. This translates into the need to conduct research that is not only
eective in its immediate objectives, but also respectful of the environment and
natural resources:
- Sustainable Research: Sustainable research involves using methods that
minimize environmental impact and promote resource conservation. For
example, the use of renewable energy in research projects can signicantly
reduce the carbon footprint.
- Intergenerational Responsibility: In addition, social responsibility in
research includes a long-term approach. The decisions made must
69
consider their consequences in the short, medium and long term. This is
reected in concepts such as intergenerational responsibility, where
researchers must act in such a way that they do not compromise the ability
of future generations to meet their needs.
- Global collaboration: Sustainability also requires collaboration across
borders. Research that addresses global problems such as climate change
or social inequality requires the cooperation of various actors, including
governments, NGOs, the private sector and local communities. This
collaborative approach allows for the exchange of knowledge and
resources and enriches the research process.
- Research Ethics: Ethics is a fundamental component of responsibility in
research. This implies that researchers must be transparent in their
methods and results, as well as consider the social impact of their work.
Establishing a culture of integrity and accountability not only benets
research, but also builds trust in the community.
Social impact and sustainability are two sides of the same coin in the eld of
research. The search for the common good and the satisfaction of social needs
must be the pillars on which research initiatives are built. The trend towards
research aimed at solving social problems, together with a focus on sustainability
and ethics, can signicantly transform the way research is conducted (Fallah et
al., 2022).
Thus, researchers have a responsibility to contribute to the well-being of
society, ensuring that their actions do not harm the environment or compromise
the opportunities of future generations. This approach will not only foster a more
just and equitable world but will also ensure that science and research continue
to be engines of progress for all humanity.
Collaboration and transparency are two fundamental pillars of social
responsibility in research. Both practices not only guarantee scientic integrity,
but also foster an environment of trust between researchers, institutions and
society in general. This commitment to collaboration and transparency helps
make research more accessible, understandable and benecial to all.
This multidisciplinary collaboration refers to the cooperation between
dierent disciplines and areas of knowledge in the development of research
projects. Some of the benets of this practice are:
70
- Broader approaches: Combining diverse perspectives allows a problem to
be approached from multiple angles, which can result in more eective
and sustainable solutions.
- Innovation: The interaction between dierent disciplines often leads to
innovation, by allowing ideas to intersect and transform into new theories
and practical applications.
- Resource optimization: By joining forces, institutions and researchers can
maximize the use of resources, avoiding duplication of eorts and
boosting research results.
- Leveraging talent: The ability to work with experts from dierent areas
increases a team's ability to conduct high-quality research.
To carry out a successful multidisciplinary collaboration, it is essential to
establish eective and open communication between all participants. This
involves not only exchanging information, but also understanding and
respecting the dierent methodologies and approaches that each discipline
brings. In addition, it is crucial that there is clear leadership that keeps the focus
on common goals and facilitates decision-making.
Transparency in research processes is a fundamental principle that ensures
that the methods, data and results of a research are accessible and
understandable to the public. A lack of transparency can lead to
misunderstandings, mistrust, and replication of errors in future studies. Some of
the main elements that characterize transparency in research are:
- Data access: Publishing and making accessible the data collected during
the research process, allowing other researchers to review, analyze and
use them for their own projects.
- Open review: Encourage a peer review process that is open and
transparent, meaning that both reviewers and authors must be
identiable, thus promoting constructive dialogue.
- Clear methodology: It is essential that the methodology used in the
research is described in a clear and detailed manner, so that other
researchers can replicate the study if they wish.
- Publication of negative results: Publishing all results, even those that do
not support the original hypotheses, is crucial to avoid publication bias
and provide a complete picture of the research area.
Transparency not only benets the scientic community, but also builds
society's trust in research. When people see that researchers are open about their
71
methods and results, they are more likely to trust the ndings and those applied
in policies or practices. This is especially important in areas of great social
relevance, such as health, education and the environment.
In addition, transparency in research also includes ethical aspects, such as the
declaration of conicts of interest and the nancing of projects. Many times,
research results can be inuenced by the interests of funders. Therefore, it is
crucial that researchers declare any relationships that may inuence their work,
thus ensuring that the results are perceived as more valid and reliable.
The need for greater transparency in research has led to the creation of
initiatives and platforms that promote these principles. A notable trend in the
eld of research has been the creation of study registers, in which researchers can
record their protocols and methods before beginning research. These records
allow others to review and evaluate the decisions made, thus encouraging a more
rigorous and critical approach to science (Prager et al., 2019).
Promoting collaboration and transparency in research requires not only
changes in the individual practices of researchers, but also a cultural shift in
institutions and in the scientic community at large. Universities, research
centers and funding agencies must create incentives and policies that favor these
practices. This may include incentives for data publication, recognition of
collaborative eorts, and the implementation of transparency principles in the
evaluation of research projects.
Therefore, multidisciplinary collaboration and transparency in processes are
fundamental for social responsibility in research. Encouraging joint work
between dierent disciplines and ensuring the accessibility of methods and
results will not only raise the quality of research, but also promote an
environment of trust between researchers and society. As we face increasingly
complex situations, commitment to these practices will be decisive in ensuring
that research generates a positive and lasting impact on society.
4.5.3 Education and Training in Ethics
Education in ethics is a fundamental pillar in the training of socially
responsible researchers. In a world where science and technology are advancing
rapidly, it becomes imperative that professionals are not only competent in their
areas of study, but also possess a solid understanding of the social, moral, and
ethical implications of their work. Ethics training should be a continuous process,
from basic education to specialization in various disciplines, including social
72
sciences, biomedicine, engineering, and more. Here we explore the key elements
of ethics education and training in the context of research.
Research ethics refers to the principles and norms that guide the behavior
of researchers. This includes integrity, honesty, fairness, and respect for research
subjects. Violation of these principles can not only aect the outcome of a study
but can also have broader negative consequences on society. Therefore, it is
essential that researchers are educated about ethics from the beginning of their
careers.
Educational institutions have a crucial role to play in teaching ethics to
future researchers. Incorporating ethics courses into academic programs can help
familiarize students with the various ethical issues that can arise in research.
These courses should include not only ethical theory, but also practical case
studies that reect ethical alternatives.
An important way to formalize the commitment to ethics in research is
through the creation and adoption of an institutional code of ethics. This code
must be accessible and understandable, and all members of the institution must
be trained on its content and application. Ethical socialization is an ongoing
process that involves not only formal education, but also interaction with
colleagues and mentors. The culture of an institution can signicantly inuence
the ethical training of researchers. Instances of ethical behavior modeling by
mentors and leaders in the eld are crucial for the ethical socialization of new
researchers (Chetwynd, 2024).
Technological progress poses new ethical challenges in research. With the
management of digital education, issues related to privacy, the use of data and
articial intelligence have arisen. Therefore, ethics education must adapt and
evolve with these new realities.
In general, ethics education and training are essential to develop
responsible researchers commied to social welfare. Academic institutions and
research bodies must work together to infrastructure programs that not only
teach ethical philosophy, but also promote a culture of social responsibility in all
aspects of research. Ethics should not be an add-on, but an integral and
fundamental part of the research process from start to nish.
By fostering an environment where ethics is a priority and where
researchers feel empowered to face ethical dilemmas, we can ensure that research
not only advances science and technology, but also contributes positively to
73
society at large. Ethics training should be seen as an investment in the future,
which will guarantee research that can be respectful, responsible and that
generates benets for all.

Conclusion
The incorporation of articial intelligence (AI) into educational
management and innovation represents a signicant transformation with
revolutionary potential to change the way we teach and learn. In this analysis,
we saw how articial intelligence not only streamlines administrative processes
and resource management, but also improves the personalization of learning,
adapting content to the needs of each student, creating and delivering virtual
learning activities eectively. The most notable discoveries include:
- Increase eciency: The use of AI-based tools allows educational institutions
to operate more eciently, allowing teachers to focus on the more creative
and interpersonal aspects of teaching.
- Adaptation to individual strategies: AI systems can analyze large amounts of
data to oer unique learning experiences that adapt to each student's
learning pace and style.
- Ethical issues and access: It is important to address ethical issues related to
data privacy and equitable access to these technologies. The digital divide
can perpetuate inequalities that already exist in the education system.
Overall, while AI poses challenges that need to be carefully managed, its
potential to transform education is undeniable and ensures a more inclusive and
adaptable future for all learners. The key will be to nd a balance between
innovation and the ethical values that guide its implementation. The future of
articial intelligence (AI) in education opens up a space full of possibilities and
radical transformations that have the potential to redene the way we teach and
learn.
As technology advances, we are likely to see greater integration of AI into
various aspects of the education system, from management to personalization of
learning. One of the most promising aspects is the personalization of learning.
Thanks to advanced algorithms, the educational platform can adapt to the
individual needs of students, providing resources and activities tailored to their
strengths and weaknesses. This will ensure more eective and motivated
learning, and each student will progress at their own pace.
In addition, the introduction of virtual assistants can change the way teachers
interact with students. Not only does this improve student learning, but it also
gives teachers more time to focus on more strategic and creative activities.
75
Social responsibility in research refers to the involvement of researchers not
only in the development of knowledge but also in the well-being of society as a
whole. This concept assumes that research results should be used to improve
quality of life, promote equality and promote sustainable development. Research
faculty must realize that their work can have a signicant impact on
communities, ecosystems, and public health. Therefore, the most important
responsibilities of researchers are to ensure that their research is conducted
ethically and that results are reported in a transparent and accessible manner.
This includes:
- Community Engagement: Involve aected communities in the research
process to ensure that their needs and concerns are considered.
- Equity in research: Ensuring that vulnerable populations are not exploited
and that the benets of research are distributed fairly.
- Sustainability: Conduct research that contributes to environmental,
economic, and social sustainability, minimizing harm and maximizing
benets.
In conclusion, social responsibility in research is essential to build a bond of
trust between scientists and society, allowing the knowledge generated to be
used for the common good. However, the future of AI in education also faces
challenges that need to be addressed, such as data protection, student privacy,
and teacher training for new technological realities. It is important to develop
policies and ethical frameworks to ensure the responsible use of AI in schools.
