I.
Introduction
AI can play a crucial role in competency-based curriculum management,
information management, and content curation by automating the organization,
search, and filtering of educational resources. AI-based tools can provide
personalized content recommendations and help students and teachers manage
information more efficiently. In addition, AI can facilitate the transition to
virtual environments by offering adaptive learning platforms that fit
individual needs and learning styles, depending on the learning process. Negre , Marin and
Perez (2018)
Besides
Kolbe (2019) emphasizes the importance of physical infrastructure in the educational
process, even in a changing context. Adequate infrastructure is essential to
house and preserve pedagogical materials, as well as to provide a safe,
comfortable and ergonomic environment for learning. He also highlights the
crucial role of family, society and governments in bridging the digital divide
and improving connectivity. While physical infrastructure remains important, AI
can complement and, in some cases, replace certain aspects of traditional
infrastructure. For example, AI-based online learning platforms can offer
accessibility to educational resources and remote support, reducing the
dependence on physical infrastructure. However, adequate infrastructure remains
critical to ensure connectivity and provide a safe and effective learning
environment.
AI can enhance these
student-centered approaches through adaptive tools that support collaborative
work and problem-based learning. For example, AI systems can facilitate the
creation of interactive and collaborative learning environments, offering real-time
feedback and personalizing learning experiences to individual students' needs.
This can improve the effectiveness of the training process and help teachers
implement more effective strategies, according to Jiménez, Gonzáles, and Tornel
(2020).
Intelligence (AI) , which is
made up of systems that use databases, algorithms and computing to offer
responses similar to human intelligence, has shown great potential in various
fields, including education ( Luckin et al., 2016).
AI is being integrated into almost all areas of knowledge-based value creation
and is beginning to have a significant impact in the educational field.
Miao et al. (2021) highlight
that AI can facilitate innovative learning, a pressing need in the face of
challenges related to poor learning quality. AI is being explored as a tool to
gain detailed insights into students, and to collaborate with data and methodologies
that can improve teaching and learning. This includes the ability to predict
specific student performance and needs.
Impact of AI-powered
Competency Management
1.1.
Personalization of Learning: The integration of AI into
competency-based curriculum programming enables more advanced personalization
of learning. AI systems can analyze student performance in real-time and adjust
content and activities to meet their individual needs. This is consistent with
competency-based planning, which seeks to tailor education to each student’s
specific abilities and needs, as highlighted above ( Kruger
et al., 2022). AI’s ability to deliver tailored resources and tasks can improve
the effectiveness of curriculum planning by making it more tailored to each
student.
1.2.
Continuous Assessment and Feedback: AI facilitates the
implementation of continuous assessment systems that provide immediate feedback
to students. This aligns with the vision of Kruger et al. (2022) and Naidoo
(2019) on the need for assessment and monitoring mechanisms that enable continuous
improvement in educational quality. AI’s ability to perform detailed
assessments and offer real-time feedback can optimize the way competencies are
measured and managed, making the process more dynamic and effective.
1.3.
Adaptation to the Sociocultural Environment: The
implementation of AI in competency-based management can offer tools to adapt
educational content and methods to specific sociocultural contexts. Although AI
can help personalize learning, it must also be designed with sensitivity to
cultural particularities, as mentioned by García (2021) and Uribe- Munante and Flores-Sotelo (2022). AI can facilitate the
integration of these considerations into the curriculum, but its effectiveness
will depend on how it is configured to respect and adapt to diverse
sociocultural contexts.
1.4.
Student Engagement and Participation: AI can transform the way
students interact with the curriculum, promoting more active participation through the use of interactive and adaptive learning
platforms. This resonates with the emphasis on organizational culture and the
participation of educational actors pointed out by García (2021) and
Rodríguez-Gallego et al. (2020). AI tools can foster more autonomous and
participatory learning, supporting student involvement in their educational
process.
II. Methodology
The research had a qualitative approach, of
the descriptive research type on documentary information from ten reference
sources, with the discussion group technique for competency management in the programming of curricular
experiences at the university through the
use of artificial intelligence (AI).
Some discussions were carried
out in the group of three experts knowledgeable in the respective topic and
discussed documentary information from ten referential sources, whose
identifications are reserved. The discussions revolved around the Focus on Personalization
of Learning, Improvement of Educational Quality, Adaptation to the
Sociocultural Environment and Involvement and Participation of Students; some
reference authors were used, being the relevant ideas based on the documents
indicated in the section on Results
III. Results
After the group of
three experts knowledgeable in the respective topic has discussed the
documentary information from ten referential sources, with the focus group
technique for competency-based management in the programming of curricular
experiences in the university through the use of
artificial intelligence (AI), the following results have been reached:
3.1.
For the focus on Learning Personalization: The contributions of Luckin et al. (2016) and Miao et al. (2021) recognize that
AI can revolutionize education by offering responses and solutions tailored to
individual student needs. This personalization approach aligns with
competency-based planning, which seeks to tailor education to each student’s
particular abilities and needs ( Kruger et al., 2022).
AI can enhance this approach by providing accurate, real-time data on student
performance and areas for improvement.
3.2.
To Improve Educational Quality: The ability of AI to
facilitate innovative learning and improve educational quality, according to
Miao et al. (2021), was
considered to be in line
with the need to continuously evaluate and adjust the educational process, as
suggested by Kruger et al. (2022) and Naidoo (2019). AI can provide
tools for more dynamic and continuous assessment, helping to address issues
related to low learning quality.
3.3.
For Adaptation to the Sociocultural Environment: The contributions of Luckin et al. (2016) and Miao et al. (2021) who mainly
focus on the technical and pedagogical capabilities of AI, adaptation to the
sociocultural environment remains crucial. García (2021) and Uribe- Munante and Flores-Sotelo (2022) emphasize the importance
of considering the sociocultural context in school management. The
implementation of AI must be sensitive to these factors to be effective in
diverse contexts, ensuring that the technology adapts to the cultural and
social particularities of students.
3.
4. For Student Involvement and Participation: It was considered that AI’s ability to
provide detailed data about students can foster greater involvement and
participation in the educational process, as suggested by García (2021) and
Rodríguez-Gallego et al. (2020). AI can support more autonomous and engaged
learning, by offering personalized educational experiences that motivate
students to actively participate in their own learning.
From the
information discussed it can be deduced that :
The incorporation of AI into
competency-based management has the potential to significantly improve the
programming of curricular experiences at the university, offering
personalization, continuous assessment and adaptability. However, to be
effective, it must be aligned with the principles of sociocultural adaptation
and active participation, as suggested by previous authors. The key will be to
integrate technology in a way that complements and enriches existing
educational practices.
Furthermore,
competency-based planning at the university offers a methodology that is in
line with best practices in school management, such as those described by the
authors mentioned above. It facilitates an education that is more adapted to
the real needs of students and the sociocultural environment, encourages
continuous assessment and improves student participation and commitment, thus
reflecting an evolution in curricular planning that seeks more relevant and
effective training.
IV.
Discussion
The implementation of AI in
competency-based curriculum programming can enrich and modernize the
educational process. While the approaches proposed by Jiménez, Gonzáles, and
Tornel (2020) are not sufficient, although Kolbe (2019) underlines the
importance of physical infrastructure, AI can provide complementary solutions
that expand access to education and improve learning management, although it
does not replace the need for adequate infrastructure. Combining emerging
technologies with modern pedagogical practices can offer a more dynamic,
efficient and adapted education to current needs.
Comparison with the Authors mentioned in the
Introduction section:
4.1.
Comprehensive Approach and Adaptation: Kruger et al. (2022)
emphasize the importance of comprehensive training and adaptation to the
sociocultural environment. AI can enhance this adaptation by providing tools to
personalize learning and adjust content to students' needs, although its effectiveness
will depend on the quality and sensitivity of the algorithms used.
4.2.
Continuous Assessment and Improvement: Continuous assessment and
improvement are key aspects according to Naidoo (2019) and Kruger et al.
(2022). AI can offer more accurate and flexible assessment systems, providing
immediate feedback that allows adjustments to the educational process in real
time, thus improving educational quality.
4.3.
Organizational Culture and Engagement: Organizational culture and the
involvement of educational stakeholders, as indicated by García (2021) and
Rodríguez-Gallego et al. (2020), are fundamental aspects for effective school
management. AI can support active participation and engagement by offering more
tailored and personalized educational experiences, although it is crucial that
this technology is implemented in a way that respects and fosters the existing
organizational culture.
Furthermore,
its importance is discussed and compared with the perspectives of the authors
previously mentioned in the Introduction section:
Compared to other research, such as:
With Quispe's studies, RLR
(2022) addressed how to evaluate job performance and human interrelations in a
university environment. The questionnaire proposal focuses on measuring these
aspects to improve administrative management and the work environment; the
contribution corresponds to the Design of Intelligent Surveys by Implementing
AI systems to design more dynamic and adaptive surveys that adjust the
questions based on previous responses.
Regarding Metadata, health
system and pension regimes of Peruvian artists in the context of Covid-19
mentioned by Villanueva M and Torres N (2021), data and metadata management is
relevant and will allow the integration of courses on the use of AI in the
management and analysis of metadata, focusing on its application in health and
pensions.
The training of university
students in curricular programs with a competency-based curriculum approach
will be more likely to achieve emotional balance and resolution strategies in
management as indicated by Páucar E, Torres N,
Montejo C (2021) by incorporating AI tools that offer support for emotional
balance and stress management in the university environment, facilitating
conflict resolution by developing educational modules on the use of AI in
mediation and conflict resolution, providing simulations and tools for
practice.
Likewise, AI will allow
administrative management and teaching practice in a public educational
institution, as indicated by Fernández V (2021) when mentioning the
relationship between administrative management and teaching practice in an
educational institution, highlighting the need for efficient management to
improve educational results; in this sense, it will be necessary to incorporate
AI in the administrative management of educational institutions to optimize
processes and resources and for Teaching Practices by using AI to develop tools
that help in the planning and evaluation of teaching practices, improving
educational quality.
V. Conclusion
AI has the potential to
significantly improve curriculum programming and educational quality by
offering personalization, continuous assessment, and solutions tailored to
students’ needs. This approach is in line with ideas about competency-based
planning and school management, although it is essential to integrate AI in a
way that respects and adapts to the sociocultural context of students.
University curriculum programming can greatly benefit from the integration of
AI, providing a richer, more dynamic educational experience tailored to the
individual and collective needs of students. The application of smart
technologies can facilitate more effective training and preparation for today’s
work environment.
