Resumen

En los últimos años, la inteligencia artificial (IA) ha transformado la educación, especialmente en la escritura académica. Este estudio analiza cómo la IA influye en la escritura y el desempeño de los estudiantes de secundaria en las secciones 8-1 y 10-1 del Lighthouse International School durante el primer semestre de 2025. Se utilizó un enfoque mixto que combinó encuestas, análisis de ensayos y reflexiones de los estudiantes. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes que usan herramientas como ChatGPT y Grammarly mejoran significativamente la calidad de sus textos, especialmente en gramática, coherencia y estructura. El estudio también destaca la importancia de usar la IA de manera responsable, apoyada por el sistema de semáforo del colegio, para fomentar la autonomía y el pensamiento crítico. Se identifican áreas que requieren mayor investigación, como los efectos a largo plazo en la creatividad y el desarrollo de habilidades de escritura independientes.
