Description

This inquiry refers to how the use of Artificial Intelligence influences the construction of scientific arguments in the process of experimentation in Physics with high school students in Mexico, where a dependence on the excessive use of AI for argumentation was observed, in such a way that limits the development of critical thinking, since AI generates superficial and sometimes inaccurate answers. However, when teaching guidance is provided, students improve significantly, students demonstrate an evaluation of the information provided by AI by ascertaining sources that show a guideline in the construction of arguments.
