The Role of Artificial Intelligence in the Adaptation of Students to Virtual Educational Environments

Abstract

In recent decades, the accelerated advance of digital technologies has profoundly transformed educational processes, promoting the expansion of virtual learning environments that transcend physical and temporal barriers.Objective: To determine the relationship between the role of artificial intelligence in the adaptation of students to virtual educational environments.Methodology: Quantitative and correlational, non-experimental design. Simple random sampling, with a sample of 376 university students who had studied at least one semester in virtual mode. Data collection was done through structured surveys with Likert-type scales, designed to evaluate the use of AI tools and the level of adaptation of the students.Results: AI in virtual educational environments showed a significant relationship with student adaptation, facilitating access to information and offering personalized learning experiences.Conclusions: AI enabled personalization of educational experiences, improving accessibility and making them more interactive. AI-powered learning assistants fostered active participation and greater understanding of content. The importance of avoiding over-reliance on AI tools and promoting interdisciplinary collaboration and real-time feedback to continuously improve educational environments was highlighted.
