Articulation between Critical Thinking, AI, and Educational Innovation for Active Citizenship in Youth from Diverse Socio-spatial Contexts

This project investigates how the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), critical thinking, and educational innovation can enhance civic participation and social commitment among primary and secondary school students, particularly in vulnerable settings. Facing challenges such as misinformation and inequality, the research proposes a mixed-methods approach including bibliometric analysis, data collection in urban and rural contexts, and the synthesis of interactive strategies. The approach aims to train teachers in the ethical use of generative AI and augmented reality, promoting contextualized and intercultural learning. Expected outcomes include the production of scientific articles, evaluation metrics, and digital resources contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 4, 9, and 10). By fostering analytical and reflective skills, the project aspires to form citizens capable of acting ethically within their environment, using technology as a transformative tool to build a more just and inclusive society.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>To analyze the articulation between critical thinking, artificial intelligence, and educational innovation to strengthen civic participation and social commitment among youth in diverse contexts.
